With 14 goals in 16 playoff games so far, Sidney Crosby has already registered one of the greatest playoffs on record. Can he make it the greatest?
Most goals scored, one playoff year:
19 - Reggie Leach - 1976
- Jari Kurri - 1985
18 - Joe Sakic - 1996
17 - Mike Bossy - 1981
- Steve Payne - 1981
- Mike Bossy - 1982
- Mike Bossy - 1983
- Wayne Gretzky - 1985
- Kevin Stevens - 1991
16 - Joe Mullen - 1989
- Craig Simpson - 1990
- Mario Lemieux - 1991
- Cam Neely - 1991
- Mario Lemieux - 1992
- Pavel Bure - 1994
With a commanding 3-0 lead over the Carolina Hurricanes, the odds suggest Pittsburgh is likely to advance to the Stanley Cup finals. That would mean the Pens probably have at least 5 games left in the playoffs - one to finish off the 'Canes, plus a minimum 4 finals games. Assuming Crosby can keep up his 0.875 goals per game ratio, Crosby is on pace for 18 goals in 21 games.

Newsy Lalonde - 17 goals in 10 playoff games in the 1919 season shortened by the Spanish Flu still might be the bst playoff performance ever
