@FlameRaptorRaven's rating of Canadiens vs Penguins

@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Canadiens vs Penguins game 8.7 out of 10 in NHL on December 22, 2025. Final score: Canadiens 3 – Penguins 4. Reg. Season. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“Had to do it. Even though I wanted to rate this game a lower 8, it would feel wrong to not rate this an 8.7 as Sidney Crosby became the highest scoring Penguin of all time, passing his former teammate Mario Lemieux and putting himself 8th all-time in NHL points. He added another feather in his cap that looks like a peakcock at this point, but still has the potential to add even more to it. Next step, catch Steve Yzerman, he’s just 31 points away from 7th all-time so keep an eye on that. But back to this game. The Habs nearly played spoiler, not only tying up the game in the 3rd, but then they nearly won it in overtime. Thankfully for the Penguins, Silovs picked the right time to be a wall and helped the Pens secure the win along with Crosby’s history-making. Can’t forget to thank Rust’s shootout winner and Letang’s perfectly placed pass on Acciari’s goal in the 2nd period.”
