Alex Ovechkin vs. Sid Crosby

[Calvin Rankin]

Just wondered how many fans we have here for each.

[AzN'SKillZ]

ovechin is the better player

but both good

[Kobe]

ovechin FTW

[QD999]

crosby is better overall, ovechkin is a better sniper. Overall career wise crosby will rack a lot more points up.

now it'll be easy to pick up assists with a guy like malkin n ur line

Crosby's a bitch, I dont think I've seem him go a shift without complaining to the refs about something. How can Crosby be better overall when he doesnt even play defence? I can think of a ton of times when Ovechkin's thrown a big hit , but cant even remember if I've ever seen Crosby even skate hard if there wasnt a chance for him to get a point.

Both of those players are amazing and will be amazing for YEARS to come but I pick Ovechkin over Crosby. I think Ovechkin will become more a versatile player more quickly than Crosby (i.e. I can see Ovechkin on the PK faster than we'll see Crosby spend any considerable time on the PK).

BUT....Gretzky was also a very big whiner in his career and look at what he ended up with......

[Kirbs17]

Ovechkins a more complete player. He is just plain sick on the ice. That being said, Crosby is gifted (duh) has amazing hads and can see the ice better than anyone on the ice IMHO. Ovechkin has a stunning shot, wearas Crosby can pass like no other.

Ovechkin For The Win
Crosby For The Whine

Ovechkin FTW!!

hes someone i would pay to see

Crosby.. look at his team. its no wonder he has points

[ProjectR]

^ haha same with ovechkin's team

Alexander the Great is the MAN!

If I was building a team from scratch I would take Crosby. If i already had a #1 centre capable of leading a team then I would take Ovechkin.

Its like comparing Jagr to say a Joe Thornton type of player.

[Street_Soldier]

Crosby makes everyone around him so much better where as Ovechkin is a goal scorer.

Like the person above me I would pick Crosby when building a team.

[quikkoop]

Where do you guys figure Malkin ends up through all of this? Is he for sure a #3 to you guys, or is he an up and comer to rule all? Just figured Id put it out there

[toyboy88]

Ovechkin personally...

seeing him monday!

[A2VR6]

They're both pretty equal, i'd take Crosby tho just because of his vision and everything. I dunno, i'd rather have a playmaker than a scorer if i was build a team.

[asp integra]

crosby is a whiner, i dont like him at all, ovechkin actually can take hits and make amazing plays

alex the great ftw

Crosby is definately a overall better player, Ovechkin has a better shot then Crosby and is a bit faster skater but Crosby is definately better. If you think otherwise your not a very observative hockey fan.
