Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby Makes History Against the Utah Hockey Club
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has finally done it, scoring his 600th NHL goal against the Utah Hockey Club.
At 37-years-old, it is unbelievable the type of production Sydney Crosby is still able to generate, and it seems like he is not slowing down one bit.
His 9th goal of the season was a special one, as he joined the ranks of the NHL elite, becoming the 21st player to net 600 goals in the National Hockey League.
Crosby got it in just the nick of time as he scored with just 10 seconds left on a 5-on-3 man advantage.
It was a truly a special scene as the entire Pittsburgh Penguins team jumped on the ice to celebrate the massive milestone with their captain.
The crowd also got in on the action as they gave Crosby a standing ovation where Sid the Kid did his humble stick wave as he dislikes being the center of attention.
Now, it is just the old rivals,
Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby to be the only active NHLers to reach this major achievement.
Crosby, playing in his 1,295th career game, also surpassed Patrice Bergeron for the 18th-most games played with one franchise in NHL history.
Crosby is cleary not letting age become a factor as he now has 9 goals and 13 assists for 22 points in just 23 games.
Crosby joins an even more exclusive club that only has one other member in Wayne Gretzky.
Sid the Kid and the Great One are the only two players in NHL history to have 600 goals, 1600 points, 3 Stanley Cups and 2 Conn Smyths.
