How Sidney Crosby’s Career Was Robbed By Concussions 

SUB TO MY SECOND CHANNEL - www.youtube.com/@HecticHockeyPlus

It’s crazy how time can alter your perspective. I’m a lifelong caps fan and could never stand Crosby or the pens as a whole for that matter. But in the twilight of his career I have nothing but respect for him as a person, for his talent and for what he brought to the sport. He’s still lighting it up at over a point per game pace nearing his late 30s. Much respect

Tbh modern stars like McDavid, MacKinnon, Matthews, etc can all thank Crosby for the fact that they don't get head hunted and get frequent concussions. Crosby's concussions knocked him out of nearly 2 seasons in his prime and it convinced the NHL to finally make changes to curb player concussions. Too bad it was too late for Kariya, Lindros and others, but better late than never.

My family was born and raised just outside Pittsburgh. Been honored to watch this guy for as long as I can remember. Couldn’t imagine anyone better to fill the role after Mario

Great video man, McDavid's point totals have been insane the past few years but i truly think if Crosby didnt miss those seasons where he was on pace for well over 130 points the dialogue would be vastly different.

Nah bro “Midget Draft” is wild

He could have 6x Art Ross Trophies

Amazing how even after all these years, he can still be argued as a top 5 player all-time once his career is done! Imagine if he was healthy during his prime years, a big what-if scenario in the early-mid 2010s

Among his many other talents i wonder if he has the best backhand shot of all time.

Excellent video!

Eric Lindross too

Drafted in 2005. I can't believe it's been that long. Injuries aside, Crosby's definitely had one helluva spectacular career.🏒🥅🚨

I don't think concussions robbed his career. If you look at his stats, his three Cup victories, and plenty of other awards, he won plenty during his time in the league so far.

Would of, should of, could of. Toughest sport in the there is. and this is an amazing analysis, but again would of could of should of.

3 cups and 2 gold medals later damn he really was robbed 😢

I just hope the head hunting behavior is prevented for future stars. I'm excited to see what Bedard can pull off.

Do the same kind of video for Ovechkin please

Caption is weird AF.

Ovechkin played in the same era. Funny How Ovie was never bullied or targeted. Oh wait, yes he was - difference being Ovechkin is much bigger and stronger than Crosby, while also having far superior on-ice awareness.

2nd comment 😮

Robbed? Idk if I would say that since he literally hasn't changed at all since the early 2010s when the concussion issues occurred. Injuries are apart of the game and unfortunately it happened when it did. Dope video though ofc as usual and as much as i hate crosby cause of his excessive whining among other things, I will admit dude is a generational talent and it would be impossible to not want someone with his caliber on your team. His entire prime wasnt robbed just a part of it not all cause in 2013-14 he got the art ross and hart trophies and the rocket richard in 2017 so

Concussions now ruining Filip Chytils career. Hes no crosby but a good young player whos career mught be over at age 24 from consussions

Shouldn't have been standing there.

Lemuix career robbed cuz of health Crosby career robbed cuz of health even Malkin robbed a lot of his career cuz health

Robbed? This is what the cost of hockey brings. Its just the way sports are. He shouldn't have skated directly into a skating column. It was 100% his fault that time. Get over it.

whatever the man has won multiple cups. what about Pat Lafontaine? arguably on par with sid and better in some ways.

I really hate the "he was targeted" narrative. How about dish it back instead of whining about it.

No arguing he was targeted and bashed more than any other superstar in the history of our game. I believe stats will back this claim up. That being said when he entered the league he had zero humble in him and he was a massive shit talker. So, some of the abuse could be argued as warranted.

cry baby crosby
