I remember when Crosby brought the cup home. He rode in on a tank holding it high above his head. The entire city what there to celebrate him. I even got to play ball hockey against him for 5 minutes. It was a amazing experience
8:44 no. The most shocking was the lightning when they won 62 games and they were swept by the Blue Jackets, a team that never won a playoff series until that series
No mention of Dave 'Tiger' Williams who played for the Leafs and Canucks with the most Penalty Minutes of 3971. He was and still is Hockey's bad boy. Some players in the NHL didn' t have that many minutes in ice time let alone sitting in the box.
Crosby was 21 when he won the Stanley Cup for his first time. That's old enough to drink in the USA. But he's Canadian and could drink there since he turned 19 anyways.
Dave Christian, one week after winning gold medal in 1980 Olympics, set the record for the fastest goal for a player on his first shift in the NHL by scoring 7 seconds into his first shift ever.
Might be broken one day, but has held up for 45 years so far.
Crosby was legally able to drink in his home province before he won the Stanley cup. He probably lives in Pittsburgh now, but legal drinking age in Canada is 18 or 19, depending on what province you are in, not 21.
Wins records should be divided into pre-2005 and post-2005 categories. The '77 Habs winning 60 and tying 12 is far more impressive, because there's no way they would have won less than half of those 12 if there had to be a winner like today.
a few of those were only set because the seasons they played had more games in them. I'd like to see them pro rated to accurately reflect the " apples to apples " comparison.
