Crosby or Ovechkin?

Im starting to think these Crosby/Ovie comparisons will never die. Sigh. It's hard to say really. The argument can be made that Ovechkin would be a better player if he played on a better team. But the fact is that they are two different people that play two different types of games. Crosby plays centre, Ovechkin is a winger. They have different responsibilities. Im gonna say that each is equally talented in their own areas of the game. Is that good enough?

As a caps fan i say Ovechkin, but as a hockey fan i say Crosby. Ovechkin cherry picks a little too much for me i prefer two-way players though Crosby is no Chris Drury he does better than Ovie and numbers don't lie. However, this is not to say that Ovechkin isn't one of the best players ever to play the game.

They are two different players.Crosby is swift and agile and Ovechkin is powerful. Crosby plays on an offensive powerhouse and the Caps offense leaves much to be desired. They need a center to put with Ovechkin to take some of the offensive pressure off of him. I assume that is what was behind the Nylander signing today.

I think Sidney Crosby is better because he makes his 2 wings better by just being on the ice. He makes beautiful passes. Don't tell me Ovechkin can make the passes Crosby makes. When eas the last time Ovechkin actually passed the puck? Who do you build your dynasty around? A playmaking center or a shoot- first winger? Crosby's younger too.

Crosby, the first season the two played Ovetchkin came out and shocked the world as the overrated Crosby didn't do a lot. But in the long run Crosby will be an a phenomanal franchise player.

its to hard to tell. especially this early. Crosby has alot more talent around him and Ovechkin plays a more physical game. wait a few years and see what Ovechkin does once he gets out of Washington. or Washington gets a decent team around him

Ovechkin

Ovechegen was better in his rookie season because he was 2 years older than Crosby and had been playing in the Russian Super League foor 2 years. Crosby was coming out of juniors. Crosby will be better in the long run.

Are you serious? Though Ovechkin is a goal scoring machine, Sidney Crosby is the hands down best player in the NHL, and he will turn just 20 this upcoming season. There is no ceiling when it comes to Sid the Kid's potential, and remember, he led the league in scoring last year without any great players playing consistantly on his line. Crosby's speed, goal scoring and playmaking ability makes him second to none, not to mention his overwhelming desire to win and elevate his teammates to victory every single shift, period, and game. Ovechkin is an awesome player, but Crosby is the face of the NHL and if the NHL is to rise to popularity again, Sid Crosby will be the reason it happens.

honestly oveshkin is much better first of all he's very exciting to watch he can pass shoot and dangle with the best of em while crosby can pass and score rebond or garbage goals and score the once in a blue moon highlight real goal thats it um ya crosby is mad boring to watch i mean if all you can do is pass then why the hell is he the face of the nhl why not marc savard hes a fantastic playmaker? well ill tell you why its because the nhl dosent want non north american players to be the face of the nhl cause it will basically draw no interest instead a canadian or american it will draw plenty of interst. Bottom line ovechkin can do it all crosby cant and thats the bottom line casue i said so.
