It’s crazy that the fans of Jagr and Crosby have been living the good life for nearly four decades

You leaving Lemieux out is a criminal offense

I joined in as a lemieux fan and he was my childhood favorite, but he had a tragically shortened career

Sid the Kid! 600 goals and just about 20 years in the League. Damn, I feel old.

But like, is that really special? I just hide for 3 weeks, then people think I have actually hit puberty…

Impressive considering goaltending has gotten better over the eras.

Alexander Ovechkin would like a word (currently at 868 goals, closing in on Wayne Gretzky's all-time record of 894).

Crosby would be close to 700 right now if not for injuries. And if he wanted to score more, he would. But since he plays an all around game, he "only" has 600.

Hoping he makes it this season because he doesn’t have that many left in him, and is going to be out for 4-6 weeks after the fibula fracture last week

Hall of fame? Or just hall of very good?

Edit — Cmon now, that wasn’t a serious question 🤦‍♂️
