The season was notable for being Sidney Crosby's rookie campaign. However, Crosby's inaugural season did not improve the team, as they suffered another losing season, finishing last place in the Eastern Conference for the second year in a row with 58 points, the second worst in the NHL. The Penguins failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the fourth consecutive season for the first time since the 1984–85 season and the 1987–88 season. It would be the final season where they missed the Stanley Cup playoffs until 2023 and the last season they finished with a losing record until 2025.

Due to the labour stoppage in the previous season, the 2005 draft was conducted via a weighted lottery based on each team's playoff appearances and draft lottery victories in the last four years. This lottery system led to the draft being popularly referred to as the "Sidney Crosby Lottery" or the "Sidney Crosby Sweepstakes". 2005 Year in Review http://www.cbc.ca/sports/indepth/review2005/ CBC 2005-12-20 2006-11-17 On December 16, 2005, Michel Therrien named Crosby as an alternate captain for the Penguins. The move drew criticism from some hockey pundits, including Don Cherry, who claimed that Crosby had done nothing to earn the position. Crosby doesn't deserve 'A': Cherry http://www.canada.com/topics/sports/story.html?id=21eb9fe6-a779-4c9f-a535-ec28cad297b9 Canadian Press 2005-12-17 2006-11-17 https://web.archive.org/web/20071012183355/http://canada.com/topics/sports/story.html?id=21eb9fe6-a779-4c9f-a535-ec28cad297b9 2007-10-12 dead Crosby finished his rookie season with the franchise record in assists (63) and points (102) for a rookie, both of which had been previously held by Mario Lemieux. Crosby is the youngest player in the history of the NHL to score 100 points in a single season, and only the seventh rookie ever to hit the benchmark. The education of Sidney Crosby http://www.cbc.ca/sports/indepth/hockey-crosby-education.html Campigotto Jess CBC Sports 2006-09-27 2006-11-17 Overall, Crosby finished sixth in the NHL scoring race and seventh in the NHL in assists. Among Canadian NHL players, he trailed only Joe Thornton and Dany Heatley. While both Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals had impressive rookie campaigns, Crosby finished second behind Ovechkin for the Calder Memorial Trophy for NHL rookie of the year. Through his first season, Crosby was accused by opposing players and coaches of taking dives and complaining to officials, which has been attributed to his youth. Basu Arpon http://www.thefourthperiod.com/columnists/basu060322.html Don't forget, Sid's still a Kid thefourthperiod.com 2006-03-22 2006-12-24 https://web.archive.org/web/20061230063819/http://www.thefourthperiod.com/columnists/basu060322.html 2006-12-30 dead During his rookie campaign, he was second on his team and fourth among all NHL rookies in penalty minutes, and is the only rookie to accumulate both 100 points and 100 penalty minutes in a single season in NHL history. This magnified his reputation for complaining to NHL officials. Campigotto Jesse http://www.cbc.ca/sports/indepth/hockey-crosby-education.html The education of Sidney Crosby CBC Sports 2006-09-27 2006-12-24 Hockey analyst Kelly Hrudey compared Crosby to Gretzky, who had a similar reputation as a "whiner" in his youth, and suggested that as Crosby matured, he would mellow out and his reputation would fade. Mario Lemieux After the lockout concluded, Lemieux returned to the ice for the 2005–06 season. Hopes for the Penguins were high due to the salary cap and revenue sharing, which enabled the team to compete in the market for several star players. Another reason for optimism was the Penguins winning the lottery for the first draft pick, enabling them to select Sidney Crosby. Lemieux opened up his home to Crosby to help the rookie settle in Pittsburgh and Lemieux also served as Crosby's mentor. On January 24, 2006, Lemieux announced his second and permanent retirement from professional hockey at age 40. This followed a half-season in which he struggled not only with the increased speed of the "new NHL" but also with yet another threatening physical ailment, a heart condition called atrial fibrillation that caused him to experience irregular heartbeats. Although he had put up points at a pace that most NHL forwards would be perfectly content with (22 points in 26 games) in his last season, Lemieux still remarked, "I can no longer play at a level I was accustomed to in the past."
