Bitter rival passes Flyers legend in scoring

Ask any Philadelphia Flyers fan no matter how young or old who their least favorite player is, there is a great chance their response will be Sidney Crosby. From the accolades to the Stanley Cups to the constant media attention, Sidney Crosby has been a thorn in the sides of Flyers fans for the past 20 years. Last night Crosby added to his trophy case and also gave Flyers fans another reason to despise the Pens legend.

In last night's 3-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild, Sidney Crosby netted his 578 goal of his career, making him 21st All-Time in the NHL, passing Flyers legend Mark Recchi.


Recchi is an All-Time Flyers legend and was recently inducted into the Philadelphia Flyers Hall-of-Fame playing four great seasons with the Flyers, netting over 100 goals as a Flyer, while winning three Stanley Cups throughout his career.


Despite being a constant nag for the Philadelphia Flyers, Crosby has had an outstanding hockey career, playing over 1200 career games while scoring over 1500 points with 578 goals and over 900 assists.
