47 points in just 27 games...which over a 82 game schedule would put the kid on pace for almost 150 points, at just 19 years of age!! Jeez i don't know, maybe Gretzky knew what he was talking about when he said Sid will break some of his records.

Here's something to chew on about Crosby.

In the year that Gretzky went from 18 years old to 19 (1979/1980) he scored 137 points in 79 games. That year in the NHL the typical team scored 3.51 goals a game.

Crosby has missed 3 games, but is on pace for 137 points, while the typical team scores 2.95 goals a game.

So goal scoring is down 16% from that year, yet Crosby is in line to match Gretzky's numbers.

That's friggin crazy.
