A little Crosby and Ovechkin?

Ok, so this is not a "who's better".. I just want you to pick one of the two for each of the following questions (some light-hearted, some hockey related). Don't have to answer all 15, but make sure to answer #15, because that will be the basis for "best answer"

1) Better nickname?

2) Wost facial hair (because, let's face it, neither's looks good)?

3) Better line-mates in 2009-2010?

4) Better line-mates prior to 2009-2010?

5) Which one has done more to bring fan support to their team?

6) If Ben and Jerry's were to make an ice cream flavor for them, what would it be (pick one of the two)?

7) Which one would you rather party with?

8) Do you think the two will be compared for their entire careers?

9) Which do you see leaving their current team sooner?

10) Hole-in-one or home run, which is more impressive?

11) Which one makes the better commercials?

12) If they were going to each change positions, which position would be their new one?

13) Would you like to see all-star decided like a pick-up game, with Team Ovi and Team Crosby?

14) Who do you get sick of hearing about the most?

15) This comes from a joke between me and some friends. The Caps and Pens are going to hold a charity MMA event. Obviously, Ovi/Crosby would be the main event. What would they title the fight and pick 3 other bouts you think would make for interesting undercard events?

    ) Better nickname? Alexander The Great

    2) Wost facial hair (because, let's face it, neither's looks good)? Crosby, it's pretty sad looking, looks kinda like a kid whose father hasn't taught him to shave yet.

    3) Better line-mates in 2009-2010? Ovechkin

    4) Better line-mates prior to 2009-2010? Crosby

    5) Which one has done more to bring fan support to their team? Washington. I mean Pitt had Lemiux before, but Washington was a joke.

    6) If Ben and Jerry's were to make an ice cream flavor for them, what would it be (pick one of the two)? Crosby: Sorta hairy poppin' cherry ice cream

    7) Which one would you rather party with? Crosby for sure, he makes everyone he plays with look good. He's a smarter hockey player.

    8) Do you think the two will be compared for their entire careers? I mean they shouldn't. They're both good but different players.

    9) Which do you see leaving their current team sooner? Ovechkin. Crosby is a lifer.

    10) Hole-in-one or home run, which is more impressive? Hole in one, with his golf swing. It's pretty awful.

    11) Which one makes the better commercials? Ovechkin, he's foreign so it's funny.

    12) If they were going to each change positions, which position would be their new one? Ovechkin would play d for sure. Crosby would be a winger.

    13) Would you like to see all-star decided like a pick-up game, with Team Ovi and Team Crosby? yes best idea i've ever heard.

    14) Who do you get sick of hearing about the most? Ovechkin, no Crosby...no Ovechkin....ehhh. Crosby...ok both

    15) This comes from a joke between me and some friends. The Caps and Pens are going to hold a charity MMA event. Obviously, Ovi/Crosby would be the main event. What would they title the fight and pick 3 other bouts you think would make for interesting undercard events?

    Ovechkin would be a bruiser, more of a striker, Crosby would be a submission specialist...It would be a good fight but Crosby would be DQ'ed for hitting below the belt

    Other fights:

    Alex Semin v Maxime Talbot: It would be the lightweight fight of the night. It would end in a draw because both of them don't know how to throw a punch and they'd just slap the piss out of each other.

    Nick Backstrom v Malkin: Battle of the softies.. 2 centermen who don't throw hits...It would be a waiting game, I think Backstrom would try to hit malkin but accidentally hit himself in the face and knock himself out.

    Comming out of retirement:

    Lemiux v Jagr...A battle of the ages. I think this would be the best fight, Jagr is still strong but Lemiux is crafty. My money goes on Jagr by tapout via butt on face.

    Both are great players, I usually give the upper hand to Ovechkin... but we all know the playoffs are where true stars are made and Crosby has definitely outshined Ovechkin in the playoffs. Crosby involves his teammates and is MUCH more creative than Ovechkin. Ovechkin does the same play EVERY time he carrie the puck over the blue line. He just tries to use the defenseman as a screen and gets off a wicked wrister. Sure he scores many times, but he makes it easy on defenseman because he doesn't involve his teammates as much. Crosby also has shown the knack around the net. I dislike the Penguins and Crosby very much being a Red Wings fan myself... but I gotta give Crosby credit. He knows what it takes in the playoffs and deserves the nod. I think it will be a SCF rematch. Last year I was not at all worried that the Pens would beat the Wings. This year... not so much. I still think Detroit would have the upper hand, but the Pens look much better this year. Surprisingly to me, because on paper they aren't as good as last year.

    1 Ovi sounds pretty awesome, sid the kid sounds like he's this big: -------

    2 Crosby, Ovi actually has a beard, not his fault it doesnt look good, crosby has a little morning shadow.

    3 Ovi has Semin and Backstrom, can't beat that

    4 Crosby, prior to his arrival, Washington was a peice of crap team

    5 Ovi see above

    6 Ovi cookies n cream crosby lemon

    7 Ovi would be more fun also he knows lots of russian chicks

    8 Crosby will be compared to Gretzky, for some strange reason cause the two arent even comparible, and Ovi will be compared to Gartner, for bein an amazing, fast scorer

    9 Crosby cause hes selfish

    10 Ovis hole in one was pretty awesome, i could just hire jason bay to hit me a home run.

    11 Ovi cause he looks evil

    12 Crosby would do better as hes a better two way than Ovi

    13 Absolutely

    14 Crosby, cause hes good but when he is retired he will be mentioned as much as Gartner

    15 Bye Bye Baby

    Semin vs Carcillo (for our viewing pleasure)

    Souray vs Stortini (cause we all love big guys goin against eachother)

    H Sedin vs D Sedin (well there brothers what is better than this?)

    1. I call Crosby Cindy, so him (her)

    2. Crosby. He can barely grow any.

    3. Crosby

    4. Ovechkin

    5. Crosby. At least where I live (CT) people jump on the penguin bandwagon because of him but very few for Ovechkin.

    6. Windy Cindy

    7. Crosby

    8. Absolutely. It will be tough for the younger generation (me) to forget this rivalry when we are older.

    9. Ovechkin

    10. Homerun

    11. Ovechkin

    12. Hmm. Not sure.

    13. Absolutely I would. That would be great.

    14. Crosby

    15. Toothless vs. dateless

    Neither have good nicknames, but I'll say Crosby since Ovechkin is russian

    Ovechkin

    Ovechkin

    Ovechkin

    Ovechkin now, but Crosby for the first few years

    I don't think anyone would want to eat an ice cream flavor named after a hockey player. Chances are, they won't even know who that hockey player is

    Crosby. Crosby will probably be an emotionless robot, but I'm kind of scared Ovechkin will get really drunk and kill somebody with his knee.

    Yes

    I think Ovechkin will retire before crosby will

    Hole in one

    Neither

    Ovechkin-Center. Crosby-Wing

    Nope

    Crosby.

    Watch Crosby Cry LIVE!!!

    Max Talbot vs Ovechkin

    Varlamov vs Fleury (Goalie Fight)

    Orpik vs Green (Offensive D-Man vs Defensive D-Man. Plus I get to watch Green get killed)
