Today we lost a legend, you have inspired so many of us and will continue to do so, your legacy will carry on forever, RIP 🙏🏼 @kobebryant Gianna, and the seven others on the helicopter who lost their lives today.
INSANE: Dick LeBeau spent 59 YEARS in the #NFL.
LeBeau played 14 seasons for the #Lions and recorded 62 career interceptions, which still ranks among the most in league history.
He then spent 45 more years coaching, becoming one of the greatest defensive minds the game has ever seen. LeBeau helped pioneer the zone blitz and won 2 Super Bowls with the #Steelers.
From playing in the 1950s to coaching in the 2010s, LeBeau’s career spanned many generations of football.
One of the most remarkable careers in league history.
One of the CRAZIEST streaks in sports has been extended another year 🤯
With Rasmus Andersson reaching the Stanley Cup Final, a former teammate of Jaromir Jagr has now appeared in the Final in 46 straight seasons 🏆
One of the wildest stats in sports:
This is the 46TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON in which a former teammate of Jaromir Jagr has appeared in the Stanley Cup Final.
This year, it's Golden Knights defenseman Rasmus Andersson, who played with Jágr in Calgary in 2017-18.
This duo had quite the weekend:
🐧 Evgeni Malkin reached the 1,400-point mark
🐧 Evgeni Malkin recorded a hat trick
🐧 Sidney Crosby moved into seventh all-time in points
🐧 Sidney Crosby recorded his 21st straight point-per-game season
King of Consistency 👑
With his 70th point, Sidney Crosby, who can play in a maximum of 70 games this season, has clinched his NHL-record 21st-consecutive point-per-game season.
ABSOLUTE MALKAMANIA 🙌
Evgeni Malkin joins Sidney Crosby and Mario Lemieux as the only players in franchise history to notch 1,400 points with the Penguins.
