Sidney Crosby Signed Deluxe Puck Case Warm-Up Used Nov 19th 2024 vs Tampa Bay Lightning (Limited Edition of 5)

WITNESS CROSBY'S ASCENT PAST A HALL OF FAME LEGEND

November 19th, 2024, marked another monumental achievement in Sidney Crosby's illustrious career. At PPG Paints Arena, wearing the Penguins' third jersey, Crosby recorded his 1,017th career assist on Rickard Rakell's second-period power-play goal, officially surpassing Hall of Famer Joe Sakic to claim 13th place on the NHL's all-time assists list. This warm-up puck from that historic night captures the moments of preparation before Crosby would add another remarkable milestone to his legacy, joining the elite company of hockey's greatest playmakers.

The significance of passing Joe Sakic cannot be overstated. Sakic, a two-time Stanley Cup champion and one of the most respected players in NHL history, held the 13th spot with 1,016 assists accumulated over his brilliant 20-year career. For Crosby to surpass such a legendary figure speaks to his sustained excellence and playmaking brilliance that has defined his career since 2005. Each name Crosby passes on this list reads like a who's who of hockey royalty, and with this achievement, he moved one step closer to the top 10 all-time.

This official warm-up puck was on the ice during Crosby's pre-game routine, those crucial minutes of preparation that preceded his historic 1,017th assist. The warm-up for this game held special significance - Crosby was preparing to face the defending Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay Lightning, knowing he stood just one assist away from surpassing Sakic. The focus and intensity during those warm-up moments would soon translate into another milestone moment, even though the Penguins would ultimately fall 3-2 in overtime after leading 2-0.
