text: Providing a source supplies some reasons to the tradition of the handshake at the end of the game, its really not hugely notable yet.  Theres a great deal of biasy with this in general with the photos as well considering the line had dissapated by the time he showd up. You could look at every angle from the wings and pens point of view and create a POV for each case which sould be avoided. Great care should be taken to balance this if its included in the article. In the end its just not notable (yet) in my opinion. Ottawa4ever (talk) 14:15, 14 June 2009 
Sidney Crosby also had the B-DAY of his life when he washed the Stanley Cup.

text: if you can get a 'free' photo of him, go ahead. be bold. Ill add also that most articles on hockey players do not use a photo of them holding the stanley cup (to my awareness) in the main bio photo and would probably suggest embedding a photo like that in the article rather than at the top (seems to be the trend in articles).

thread_title:  Handshake 

message: I think a bit of caution with the wording here is necessary and for future edits that may change the way its written. Sidney crosby is by definition the youngest player to capatin a team in winning the stanley cup in the history of the NHL. But is not the youngest captain to win the stanley cup. This was done by Mike Grant on the montreal victorias who was 21 years old and 2 months in 1895 when he won the stanley cup (born 1874 Januray), where crosby was 21 and 10 mths this June. By definition youngest in the NHL. Ottawa4ever (talk) 02:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Minor typo 

message: I was just wondering why his particpation at the 2003 Junior World Cup isn't included on his international stats. He led the tournament in scoring, and other NHL players have the tournament mentioned. For years, it has been the premier national championship for players under 18, since the "Official" U18 takes place in the Winter around the time of the U20, and the Junior World Cup, or the Ivan Hlinka tournament, as it is now known, takes place in the summer. It doesn't have to be mentioned in the article, but I feel it should be added into this international stats collumn at least. He led the tournament in points and was also the youngest player to ever play in a national U18 tournament. He was only 15. It's truly an important part of his career since it had never been done before. It's mind-boggling to think that he was playing for an American prep school when all the others were playing Major Junior or an equivalent. His stat line was 4-2-6 in 5 games.
You can see him on the roster here: http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/4418/la_id/1.htm

My problem is with the bolded statement.  While it is a true fact in that it refers to the Memorial Cup Tournament (where the Oceanic made the finals, losing 4-0 to London) it can easily be mis-interpreted as meaning that Sidney Crosby led Rimouski to a Memorial Cup Championship (which is false).  It could easily be clarified with the addition of the word "finals" or "tournament" or re-written as "leading his club to the 2005 QMJHL Championship and a birth in the Memorial Cup" or something along those lines.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.6.165.123 (talk) 02:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

And personally, I see no reason at all to mention the fact that Crosby, like many other NHL players, chose to take a pass on the tournament.  The only disgraceful behaviour I've seen in this story has come from the IIHF itself, which seems to have failed to realize that it is by no means unique in this regard.  The World Figure Skating championships, for instance, is notorious for having competitors pass on the world championships in an Olympic year.

I dont have a link to other sources handy but i'm sure someone more familiar with this article (and hockey in general) could easily find one or two at least.

:"The story is misunderstood," [Crosby] said, chuckling. "I wasn't trying to shoot pucks in it. When I missed the net, I would hit the dryer on one side of the net. When I appeared on the Jay Leno show, he had me shoot at it, and everyone just assumed I shot pucks in it."

thread_title:  Edit request from , 3 Jan 2012 

message: I think, considering the media coverage, it is worthwhile to add some information here on the recent outburst of criticism Crosby has received not just from opposing teams but also from other people in hockey.
*Flyers assistant coach Berube  "two of the dirtiest players on their hockey team"...“They slash, they punch guys in the face they do all these little things,” Berube told CSN Philly. “I got no problem with what Schenn does, and if somebody runs (Crosby) over, that’s great, they should run him over. This guy gets away with too much in my opinion, whines to the refs all day and all night, it’s a joke”
*Rangers coach John Tortorella:  “It’s a cheap, dirty hit,” Tortorella said. “I wonder what would happen if we did it to their two whining stars over there,” referring to Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin...“I wonder what would happen,” the coach added. “So I’m anxious to see what happens with the league with this. Just not respect amongst players. None. It’s sickening.”...“They whine about this stuff all of the time, and look what happens?” Tortorella said. “It’s ridiculous. But they’ll whine about something else over there, won’t they?”
*Mike Milbury:  “Little Goody Two Shoes [Crosby] goes into the corner and gives a shot to Schenn,” Milbury said. “Schenn was late to the party, he should have turned around and drilled him right away, but I guess better late than never. So you know, Crosby gets cross-checked, big whoop. He said after he came back from his 35th concussion, ‘I’m not going to do this any more, I’m not going to get into this scrums, I’m going to stay away from that stuff.’ He couldn’t help himself because there’s a little punk in Crosby. He’s not the perfect gentleman. He’s not the sweet kid you see in interviews with his hat pulled down over his eyes. I’d say screw him, hit him.”
*Don Cherry:  "All I’m saying when you slash guys, stop doing that stuff. Play the game and just score goals. A long time ago when Crosby was coming out I tried to warn him: 'Quit diving, quit whining.’ I was the worst guy in the world … and all I was trying to do was help him. All I was trying to do was help him. All I said was 'stop whining, stop diving and snapping the head back.' If you want to survive in this league, he's got to suck it up and stop getting stupid penalties and going back at guys."
A summary of that referenced criticism should be documented on the page as it is significant and it is widely publicized.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.144.180.239 (talk) 04:02, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Please find anything that equates with a reliable source saying anything close to this, and we can consider adding it. As for the other comments - how about we add the criticism to Crosby when you agree to add similar criticism that other players have received? And if you say he gets more criticism, that's undue weight - he is a better known player so of course he gets it. It is about how much criticism he gets in relation to all the other comments, and how much of it comes from neutral sources, not other teams doing the whole "You're a crybaby, I'm tougher than you are, my dick is bigger than yours" bullshit.

All of these "records" are in HEAVY dispute. Wayne Gretzky played in the WHA, then a pro hockey league as big as the NHL at the age of 17 in 1978. When the WHA was folded into the NHL in 1980 Gretzky and his WHA team, the Edmonton Oilers, came with it. Gretzy was ruled ineligible for the Calder Trophy (rookie of the year) in 1979-1980 because he had already played a year of "pro hockey" and all of the records of the WHA teams that were folded into the NHL (Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Hartford Whalers) were absorbed and regarded as official NHL stats. Therefore Gretzky's points as "professional hockey player" must also count if he was not eligible to be rookie of the year. In 1978-79 Gretzky scored 110 points for Edmonton and Indianapolis in 80 games, a MUCH faster rate to 100 points than Crosby. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky). In 1979-80 for Edmonton Gretzky scored 137 points for Edmonton in 79 games, again a MUCH faster rate to 200 points than Crosby (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky). Both of these campaigns happened before Gretzky's 19th birthday. Please remove these invalid "records" from Crosby's page. They contradict the Wayne Gretzky entry in wikipedia and are, really, at best based on a technicality.

message: Hi wikipedians,
I have 2 comments on this page.  First, the first paragraph of the page makes it seem like the most noteworthy element of Crosby's career is that he was one of the most highly-coveted draft picks of all time.  While this is factually true, it obscures the reality that, by 2017, the fact that he is now regarded by many as one of the greatest players of all time has certainly eclipsed the mere speculation that he would come so (as embodied in the fuss made over his draft at the time).  The page should be modified to reflect that.
Secondly, the "reception" section references a recent Fox Sports article ranking Crosby 15th on their "21 greatest athletes of the 21st century (so far)" list.  But an article that purports to rank the top athletes in the world and yet includes 16 Americans and only 5 non-Americans (all of whom are for various reasons prolific in American media) does not merit inclusion.

message: Addition to "Jerseys"
Following the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, the Penguins worked with Austrian graphic designer Alexander Messmer (2) to create a "Stronger Than Hate" patch for a special auction of game-worn jerseys (3) and auctioned them off after that game. Sidney Crosby's jersey raised $31,010 in donations for the families of the victims (4).

message: After the Tree Of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, local graphic designer Alexander Messmer created the Stronger Than Hate Logo for the Penguins, which they made patches out of and had players wear the jerseys in the game against the New York Islanders on October 30, 2018. 
In a later auction to support the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh and to establish a fund with the City of Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety to benefit the Pittsburgh Police officers injured in the events on October 27, Sidney Crosby's autographed jersey with the patch on sold for $31,010.00 the second highest price his jerseys ever achieved.

message: This article says that Crosby's 2010 Olympics stick was found in a shipment to the IIHF Hall of Fame that was intercepted in Toronto but intended for St. Petersburg, but the Wikipedia article for the Hall of Fame and the IIHF website says that the IIHF Hall of Fame is in Toronto. The source cited matches the article (saying it was meant to be sent to St. Petersburg), but I can find no source for any hockey-related Hall of Fame in the city, meaning the CTV article sourced may be incorrect. 2601:603:4E00:9BF0:AED8:C33B:7C4F:8F4F (talk) 09:30, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
