No matter who comes along and makes a claim as a superior athlete, Crosby will ALWAYS be number 1 for me. As a kid who grew up not even half an hour from where he did, I feel like my life has always partially been me looking up to him. Not even necessarily as an athlete. Just as an example of someone who is upright, hard working, and resilient. No better role model.
Crosby won't age until he literally can't skate or keep up. His relies on hockey IQ, knowing where to be and how to develop or shut down plays. That's something he won't lose
Yeah but also look at his legs, he's got those St Louis hamstrings, I don't work out legs, just imagine having legs like Sid and at Louis, its almost comical how large there thighs are, it's why he can still compete the way he does, the guy has been in phenomenal shape his whole life
The league is way different than it was, gordie howe would never be able to play until 52 in todays nhl. Apples to Oranges and Sid rightly so should be considered because of how well he's playing in a league much harder to play in than the old days
and the reason i don’t list any players except howe pre 1950, cause imo hockey before 1970 was a WAYYY lower skill barrier to get to the nhl than modern days. if u could fight u could’ve had a chance to make the nhls pre 1980-1970s…
“BUT Lost the CALDER TROPHY to some guy name OVI …. “ by a matter of a few points (who was a year OLDER than SID but got it because of the ‘04 LOCKOUT look at both players now … OVI waits at the offensive blue line for his team to drive the puck up - SID is literally playing 200 feet making highlight reel plays - sorry Caps fans I actually do want OVI to beat Gretz in the goal thing - but SID is on the Mount Rushmore … & he’s still playing .
Ovi is 2 years older than Crosby and has been amazing at his age too.... Ovechkin at age 36 (21-22 season) had a 50 goal, 40 assist season for 90 pts... Crosby at age 36 (23-24 season) was 42 goal 52 assists for 94 pts... they're both aging wonderfully, so the fact this guy barely mentioned Ovi is imo ridiculous.
@@aralornwolf3140 that's not cherry picking years.... That's comparing Crosby @36yo to Ovechkin @ 36yo... Ovi still had a 31 goal last season after an awful start, at the age of 38.
Dude how do you not have millions of subs? Genuinely fantastic hockey content. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you!
@@HecticHockey no worries man, can’t wait to see all of your success!
Hockey isn’t as popular as basketball football or soccer. That’s why.
ESPN listed Sid as the 22nd best athlete of the 2000s. He's easily top 10
Top 3 imo

Sid the kid will be Sid the goat if he plays a few more seasons

I don’t usually say this a lot, but I love your content, man it’s entertaining
Thank you so much!
Bro your videos are spectacular! Keep up the hard work man!
Thank you!
Missing time does not affect how good of a player he is. Clearly the best hockey player in history.
Sid the goat 🤷🏻♂️💪🏻
Always waiting for the upload 🔥
before watching the video it’s probably because crosby has always relied on his iq the most which doesn’t regress with age
Got it

Sorry I'm stoned, I meant quads, he and st Louis have massive quads
Too be fair he has some really good guys around him minus the defense.
PS this channel is great
Thank you
I strained my wrist holding my phone just watching this. Age has affected me!
Sid the middle aged man
Those deflections are illegal how the hell 😂

Hilarious showing Tiger.
crosby is top5 of all time , gretzky , jagr, crosby , ove, howe (and if mcdavid wins a cup imo he will be in the top5)

@@ChimoWilson,
You can't cherry pick years, lol. How well did Ovi do last season?

Man I'm almost 37 and I could easily kick my 27 year old versions ass at hockey.
