Crosby Sets Pens Points Record

Here’s video of Mario congratulating Crosby who lived with the Lemieux family when Sidney began his pro career as an 18 year old when he was the overall No. 1 draft pick.

With 1,724 career points, Crosby is now 8th on the NHLs all-time list. Which Penguins player ranks second on the NHLs all-time points list, trailing only Wayne Gretzky?

Dave Parker and Gary Carter

Willie Stargell and Keith Hernandez

Steve Garvey and George Foster

Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton
