Sidney Crosby scores 1500th career point, NHL fans hail his greatness - "He is God reincarnated"

Sidney Crosby, the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins, has reached a milestone that only a select few in NHL history have achieved. On April 9, 2023, Crosby became the 15th player in NHL history to reach 1,500 career points.

The NHL announced the news on their official Twitter account, and fans around the world were quick to react.

Crosby achieved this milestone in a game against the Detroit Red Wings, where he scored two goals and one assist to reach the 1,500-point mark. The 34-year-old center has been a dominant force in the NHL since his rookie season in 2005.

Upon hearing the news, fans took to social media to express their admiration for Crosby and his impressive achievement.

"Sidney Crosby reached a big milestone at Little Caesars Arena. He became the 15th player in NHL history with 1,500 career points and required the sixth-fewest games among that group to hit the mark."

Sidney Crosby might break Wayne Gretzky's point-per-game record

Sidney Crosby is a name that hockey fans across the globe recognize. The Pittsburgh Penguins captain has been a dominant force in the NHL since his rookie season in 2005. He has achieved many milestones in his illustrious career, and now he is on the cusp of breaking one of Wayne Gretzky's records.

Crosby has had an impressive 18 straight seasons with a point-per-game average. This means that he has scored at least one point in every game he has played during those seasons. Gretzky holds the record for most point-per-game seasons, with 19. If Crosby continues to maintain his points-per-game pace next season, he will tie 'The Great One' for the record.

The 33-year-old center has appeared in 68 games this season and has racked up 83 points on 29 goals and 54 assists. He currently leads the team in goals scored and is a driving force behind their success this season. The Penguins are currently sitting in the Eastern Wild Card standings with 78 points, and they will face the New York Rangers on Saturday, March 18.
