Sidney Crosby and the quest to catch Mario

Going into the first weekend of August, it is of course Sidney Crosby time. It’s the time of year where Sid and Nathan MacKinnon are getting busy on their promotional shoots (no mention yet if Crosby has enthusiastically been celebrating his bud’s achievement) and it’s also his birthday.

Dating back to 2014 and 2017 and possibly even beyond, Crosby’s chase of Mario Lemieux’s 1,723 point total has always captivated me.
