Sidney Crosby lives in rarefied air.

Five points and he’s the 9th player with 1,700. It’s a list including Gretzky and Lemieux.

Crosby fits. Most would agree.

“I don’t,” Crosby told me. “I don’t put myself in that category at all."

Having "Roundball Rock" on NBC and Chuck, Shaq and Kenny on ESPN has me unreasonably excited for this NBA season.

#Pens top the Canucks, 5-1. A bad first period turned into a laugher going the other way.

Sidney Crosby scores in a third straight game. Five points from 1,700.

Kris Letang with two assists to reach 600.

Anthony Mantha just determined to carry Sasson into the net with the puck. 4-1 #Pens. Did not see it coming.

Tommy Novak. PPG. Nice snap from out to the right, just inside the left post. 2-1 #Pens

Excellent positioning from Ben Kindel to pick that puck off and turn it back the other way for a chance.

The Penguins had a bad period. Let in a goal on the first shot. Outshot 10-5. Ineffective on two power plays.

But they survived. Tied 1-1.

Connor Dewar ties it 1-1. Tipped a point shot from Wotherspoon.

Power play a little passive. Rakell turned down a great look in the slot to send a pass out wide.

Wes Crosby @othernhlcrosby.bsky.social · 8d

Evander Kane with a partial break, turned away by Silovs. Penguins are simply overwhelmed early. First six shots to Vancouver.
