10 years ago, Sidney Crosby embarked on a point streak, the likes of which hadn't been seen in almost 20 years.

From Nov. 5-Dec. 29, Sidney Crosby recorded a staggering 26 goals and 50 points over 25 games.

He became just the fifth player in NHL history to average at least a goal per game during a point streak of 25 contests or more, joining the likes of Wayne Gretzky, Brett Hull, Steve Yzerman and Bryan Trottier.

During his streak, Crosby scored at least one goal 18 times, netted back-to-back home hat tricks on Nov. 27 against Calgary and Dec. 2 against Atlanta and had 16 multiple-point games while leading the Penguins to a 19-5-1 record.

His blistering pace had him leagues ahead of the NHL's next-highest points producers. Crosby had 13 more points than second-place Steven Stamkos of Tampa Bay when his streak ended on Dec. 29 against the New York Islanders.

And the whole time, it had the hockey world buzzing. Along with his fellow players, legends like Gretzky and Yzerman chimed in with their thoughts about what the Penguins captain was doing.

It was just such an amazing time, because not only was Crosby having individual success - the Penguins were having team success as well. Pittsburgh recorded an NHL season-high 12-game winning streak from Nov. 17-Dec. 11, which was the second-longest in team history and the eighth-longest in NHL history at the time.
