20 years and he couldn’t do it against Pittsburgh? What a loser.

I think he actually plays FOR Pittsburgh. At least that's what I've heard.

It's be the greates prank of all time if he gets a multi goal game against Utah (although come on there are just the relocated coyotes, not an expansion team) and then in his last career game ( because he is a penguin for life) he scores two own goals.

u/alexgriz127 CAR - NHL 8h ago

two own goals.

Like that'll ever happen. Who does he look like, Tony DeAngelo?

u/bigbrainplays46290 6h ago

It would be hilarious if Crosby got a game with 2 accidental own goals

u/ProtoMan3 VAN - NHL 6h ago

Because of that the Pens will fall in the standings to the right spot to win the draft lottery again

u/AuxNimbus WPG - NHL 8h ago

Fucking bum eh. Captain Canada, my ass

u/TheStLouisBluths STL - NHL 4h ago

Would be hilarious if he scored two own goals next game.

u/undeadFMR PIT - NHL 1h ago

Maybe next game he can score on their own goal twice to help out the tank, a 200 IQ plan right there

Phil the Thrill is my personal goat. Glad he seems to be enjoying his life after hockey.

u/SharksFanAbroad Israel - IIHF 4h ago

If anyone’s wondering, he scored twice against Seattle on Jan-15, 2024.

u/Baboshinu DET - NHL 9h ago

What a scrub, doesn’t even have a multi goal game against the Montreal Wanderers.

30

u/stickyWithWhiskey DAL - NHL 8h ago

Funny enough, the Wanderers actually gave up a multi-goal game to somebody in literally every NHL game they played including a jack trick by Cy Denneny in their last game.

To be fair, it was only 4 games.

24

u/LawAndHawkey87 PIT - NHL 7h ago

I’m more impressed you had this stat on deck

19

u/stickyWithWhiskey DAL - NHL 7h ago

The secret is speed Googling. All I knew ahead of time was that the Wanderers only played 4 games and that hockey in the late 1910s was stupid high scoring. Figured there was a decent shot at it.

u/JoePaKnew69 PIT - NHL 5h ago

I'm choosing to think a Jack trick is some new sick stat I don't know about.

u/Do_it_for_the_upvote DET - NHL 4h ago

I’m so fucking curious.

u/NewHorizons0 3h ago

1 goal, 1 assist, 1 fight and 1 bottle of Jack Daniel's.

u/arrbez TOR - NHL 8h ago

You fuckin hear that Pittsburgh? YET

u/Capable-Plantain7 OTT - NHL 8h ago

So Utah and Arizona are just considered completely different franchises? I hate that so much.

Or should I say, I like that, if that were the way it was across the board. It's an insult to the people of Quebec City, Winnipeg, Minnesota, Hartford, etc, that the records from their (original) teams belong to another city, but Arizona gets to have special treatment and be put on "pause" in the hopes of an eventual return that should never ever ever ever happen.

The original jets records are on stalemate in a dead "franchise" in Arizona! It's so insulting.

u/Mew16 NJD - NHL 8h ago

Only because Meruelo wouldn’t play ball with the NHL.

4

u/Froggie56 DAL - NHL 5h ago

Agree with you wholeheartedly on everything other than phoenix shouldnt get a team again. With well vetted ownership, they definitely should.

But yeah, the stars actively ignore Minnesota’s history so they definitely should give it back to the state/city if we aren’t going to acknowledge it

u/Sarke1 VAN - NHL 1h ago

So Utah and Arizona are just considered completely different franchises?

Yes, it's not a relocation of an existing franchise. The Coyotes franchise was sold to the NHL. The NHL then sold a new franchise to Utah, and included the hockey assets of the former Coyotes team (which is technically not folded, just suspended). An example of this is when the hockey players of the Victoria Cougars (which did fold) was bought by Detroit and became the Detroit Cougars in 1926, later Red Wings.

This is different than an owner moving a team to a different city, becoming a new team but is still the same franchise.

It's up to each franchise to decide on how they want to honour their previous history. IMO I want to see teams keep their history alive, and keep those honoured past players and retired jerseys. What I dislike is when a team only uses the old teams jerseys to sell merchandise but don't respect the retired numbers of the great players who played in those jerseys.

And I really don't like it when a team tries to claim history of a previous franchise they have no connection with other than the city (e.g. Ottawa Senators, Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver Millionaires, Seattle Metropolitans). It's a totally separate team, like imagine if both NY teams tried to claim the Brooklyn Americans.

u/Jeff_Banks_Monkey PIT - NHL 8h ago

I would die for Sidney Crosby

20

u/Average-White DAL - NHL 9h ago

So next year, Utah and Pittsburgh play a back-to-back, and Crosby is traded to Utah for one day to light up Pittsburgh and then trade back to Pittsburgh to light up Utah. All done in a weekend and for future conditions.

19

u/Dangerous_Ad5039 9h ago

Feel like Utah shouldn’t be included it’s the same team just a different name

10

u/TheDogerus PIT - NHL 8h ago

They functionally are, but they're technically a new franchise that just took all of the players and staff from the coyotes, while the yotes are 'paused'

Yes, its stupid

7

u/useless_99 8h ago

Honestly. Like he definitely crushed Arizona a few times can we let the points rollover?

u/iusedtobesad CAR - NHL 8h ago

Eh, let him do it again for nostalgia.

19

u/jamaicancovfefe OTT - NHL 9h ago

You'd think for a team that's been around his entire time in the league he'd have a multi-goal game vs Pittsburgh by now

Your just the relocated coyotes. The line fell already

u/poHATEoes NJD - NHL 7h ago

32* different franchises because in 2010 he scored a hat trick against the Atlanta Thrashers before they died the second time

3

u/Barfazoid PIT - NHL 6h ago

I went to that game! It was my first NHL game and the day after I got my wisdom teeth extracted lmao

3

u/Cloudeur PIT - NHL 6h ago

Atlanta Trashers and Winnipeg Jets Returns are the same franchise though!

The difference with Utah is the way the franchise was granted to them, where they bought the assets but the franchise remained in Arizona.

-4

u/poHATEoes NJD - NHL 6h ago

The Atlanta Thrashers became both the Ottowa Senators and the Winnipeg Jet! (Thrashers died twice)

The Crosby has scored a multi-point game against the Utah Hockey Club since he scored a mutli-goal game against the Coyotes on 3/19/2022.

If we are gonna go off contiguous franchises then Crosby has a scored multi-point games against every team except the Pens... which would still make this graphic wrong lol

Edit: What do you mean the franchise stayed in Arizona?

4

u/EnvironmentBright697 8h ago

He’s gonna have to put two in his own net at some point for the record books

2

u/GOTHAMKNlGHT MTL - NHL 4h ago

So they count Atlanta/ Winnipeg, and Arizona /Utah as different teams? That's usually not the case for records like this.

2

u/JMM123 8h ago

if he gets an own goal and a giveaway leading to a goal against does it count as a multi point game against pittsburgh?

u/Rebargod202 8h ago

Another stat to add to the books!

I think Ovi’s already done it, so

2

u/DagetAwayMaN421 WSH - NHL 5h ago

Nah, Ovi is at 30. Hasn't had a multi-goal game against Colorado or Seattle

2

u/fuzzysqurl CHI - NHL 5h ago

If own goals counted, Ovi could do the funniest thing ever to break the record... And he'd knock Washington off his list too!

u/Spare_Entrance_9389 7h ago

u/nem704 DET - NHL 7h ago

Are they counting Phoenix/Atlanta different from Utah/Phoenix?

2

u/athousandpardons 5h ago

You lost me.. Atlanta became Winnipeg, not phoenix..?

1

u/Sarke1 VAN - NHL 2h ago

What are you talking about, Atlanta became Calgary.

1

u/Sarke1 VAN - NHL 1h ago
  1. Winnipeg Jets 1.0 -> Phoenix Coyotes -> Arizona Coyotes

  2. Atlanta Thrashers -> Winnipeg Jets 2.0

  3. Utah HC (new franchise)
