It is true that Crosby has the worst team in the league but washington isnt that great either, and Ovechkin shows heart cuz he plays in the NHL for the challange not the money since he would have gotten alot more if he had stayed in Russia. Crosby is pretty good but Ovechkin is a leader in his team and I belivie atm is better then Crosby. But you forget alot of other rookies that are awsome this year like Marek Svatos or Henrik Lundqvist. Lundqvist has taken NY Rangers from a loosing team to a winning team.
I'm sorry, even though you're "friends" with him. But Ovechkin is a monster compared to Crosby. Look at the people around Crosby. Penguins suck this year, but they still have talent on that team. In-experienced goaltending isn't helping them at all with Fleury. But Ovechkin IS the Capitals. He's everything in a forward you could ask for. Unbelievable speed, puck-handling, a rocket of a shot, and most importantly this kid can hit anyone and anything. Crosby is good, but he is no Ovechkin. Ovechkin > Crosby, no questions asked. Ovechkin has a chance if not, has already won league MVP.
No, Crosby's rookie card is worth more due to all the media attention he gets, he's being advertised as the next great one so if he does produce like that it will be worth more. Currently Ovechkin should win rookie of the year, with Deon Phaneuf second then maybe Crosby if they actually determine on how they play. If it's decided on hype Crosby will win it.
You're kidding right? Ovechkin OWNS him in every aspect of the game. He just has too much media on his side, no offense but he's NOTHING compared to Ovechkin, he's leading the Caps, look at Crosby.. he's not leading anything.
ovechkin is a loser. the only reason hes doing better than crosby is because he was put on a team that passes to him (cuz hes the only1 that can score). and penguins....have no chemistry and they suck. PLUS!!! ovechkin is 2 years older than crosby so that makes a huge difference
Before the season Pens had all the talk, signed most of the best players and had one of the 'best' rookies in a long time. Crosby could be a 'one-man' team. Look at Ovechkin, he is, he has the moves, he has the skill, he has the speed and uses it. Look at Pens, they can pass to Crosby all they want and that wouldn't change a thing. Crosby has so much PIM 'cause he's retarded.
Sour lime, not only are you a ----ing retard.. but you seem like a racist too. Why do you refer to russians like ----? "That Russian". Atleast be a little more considerate and write Ovechkin. He doesn't show heart? wow. he double shifts and works his ass off and you say he doesn't show heart? he's trying his best to represent his country, which imo is showing some heart. Not only is he super awesome, but he's the best rookie in the NHL. not to mention he's playing for washington :/ i'm not even going to bother arguing anymore, since I have better ---- to do (Clearly, you don't) so I'm done. Ovechkin > you and your ----ty ass crosby, i don't care if your momma knows him, he's not better than ovechkin. edit: looool at fatman, what an idiot. do us all a favor and go find a die. or just stop visiting this forum. but i'm hoping you'll just die.
I personally can't stand Crosby's whiny attitude. Although he's a great hockey player, IMO he doesn't have the heart (which many of you have said before). In two years or so, I could see him being a more dominant force in the league, but not this year or the next, he just needs more experience. And in the past little while Russia's produced some very formidable hockey players; such as Evgeni Malkin, don't be forgetting about him.
Ovechkin, hands down Crosby was WAY over-hyped, and simply does not deliver the in-game preformance that Alexander Ovechkin does, especially considering his DESTRUCTION of the Canadian olympic hockey team
