I thought it was a 1a, 1b thing.
But after the Olympics and really after the 1st round, Crosby is clearly, above.

Ovey is still great, just Sid is pulling away.

I'm torn between the two actually....I like a lot about both of their games.

I've been saying...

If you want to sell tickets, Ovi. If you want to build a team, Crosby.

I still say what I said last night:
Heretic wrote: Since we've had a lot of talk comparing Crosby and Ovechkin in recent times, I figured I'd add this. I realize this is only 6-7 games in what should be long careers, but I think this little span may be kind of telling, since in the big-time playoff games, you expect the elite players to step up.

Crosby -- 6 games, 14 points. 8 in 4 wins, 6 in 2 losses.

Ovechkin -- 7 games, 10 points. 7 in 3 wins, 3 in 4 losses.

Crosby had a great series against the #5 seed and led the Pens to a 4-2 win. Ovechkin was great in his team's three wins against the #8 seed, but was pretty weak in the four losses. He shot a lot tonight, but his only point was an assist on a play that, when it comes down to it, was all the goal-scorer, who made a great play to score.

Simply put, one guy brought it in this round...and one guy was NOTHING when adversity raised its head.

Sid has better parts around him which enhance his attributes. Ovie... not so much.

I'll take the 64 percent of NHL PLAYERS who think Ovi is better.
Thats no surprise. I doubt Crosby is very well liked throughout the league.

Ovi is definitely best goal scorer in the league, but overall....I'd still go with Crosby.

Crosby does it all and he wins the big games, there's no comparison right now in those terms. Ovechkin has to show that he can carry a team to big victories.

Ovechkin doesn't have the quality of goaltending that Fleury provides and they have some issues on defense (IMO it's their style of play) but Washington is LOADED with players.......Semin, Backstrom, Kanuble, Fleischman, Steckel, Erskine, Corvo and Green aren't exactly chopped liver.
