Watch as Sidney Crosby records his 500th career goal thanks to a feed from Evgeni Malkin that just gets past Carter Hart.

Sidney Crosby scored his 500th NHL goal on Tuesday night as the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted the Philadelphia Flyers.

Assisted by none other than his longtime teammate Evgeni Malkin, Crosby punched his ticket to the 500 Club in the first period, making it a 2-1 game for the Penguins over their cross-state rivals.

The hockey world rejoiced for Sid the Kid’s milestone, so here are some of the reactions from Twitter.

The entire Penguins team left the bench to go congratulate Sidney Crosby after he scored No. 500. I've never seen anything like that. Just a testament to their closeness and how highly they think of their captain.

Born too late to watch the moon landing.
Born too early to experience space travel.

Born on time to watch Sidney Crosby play hockey. #500
