Joins Guy Lafleur and Mario Lemieux as the only players to win the scoring championship by more than 50 points.

I dont care who you are, thats freaking unbelieveable. The runner up was a teammate too, probably a linemate to boot.

Yep, pretty damn impressive. It'll be interesting to see which NHL team he ends up with and how. I really hope he doesn't end up in some useless market like Nashville, Phoenix, Florida etc.

Well if it means anything, he really wants to play for the Habs.

If he hits free agency because of this lockout, things could get really interesting. Then if he goes to the draft he'll probably end up in Pittsburgh, I'm sure he wouldnt mind playing with Lemieux.

Yeah I saw that interview on TSN where he said he'd love to play for Montreal and I'd be happy to see him land there.

I'm hoping he comes to play for Detroit, but I'm realistic when I think thats just not happening.

Can't wait to see a team that'll give him a huge contract through free agency and murder their cap space. But if that's Detroit, then they always build the team around him.....;)

The more i read about this kid, the more i am impressed with him. He has more pressure on him than any kid coming into pro sports (even more the Lebron) YEt he continues to play great hockey, and unlike someone like Diagle he likes the game to. Alexander had all the talent too, but didn't ave that love for the game.

As for where Crosby goes. I hope he goes into a large market like NY or LA or Chicago. But if he's gets stuck in a smaller market let it be in Minnesota or Columbus. Smaller markets but are in hockey cities (area's).

He may or not get to play with Lemieux if he goes to Pittsburgh. Lemieux is hardly the healthiest or youngest guy around. He pretty desperately needs to keep playing to protect his financial interest in the club, but at some point he won't be able to do it any more.

I agree, once they get the whole arena issue worked out Mario will retire.

I still think Lemieux would play atleast one year with Crosby. Not for his own personal gain but because Crosby would be the happiest kid around and think of all the points he could put up with Lemieux on his line.

It would be a sweet line. Soon Siggy will be the goalie.
