Ovechkin will never be a Crosby. Ovechkin doesn't make every guy on his line a weapon. Crosby turns guys like Malone and Armstrong into goal scorers just because he does all the work and they can stand in the blue paint with their stick on the ice. I'm no pens fan but Crosby is amazing. Sidney Crosby is an excellent two way player as well... Crosby is the total package.
Crosby may be a better overall player and go on to have a more storied career, but Crosby will never be a better goal scorer than Ovechkin. Ovechkin may be one of the best pure goal scorers to ever play the game. Ovechkin wins at the physical side of the game as well.
when you're the teams only goal scorer...why wouldn't his numbers be really high. Nobody else can get anything done. Of course ov would look like hes amazing.
It's not like teams have a certain predetermined number of goals that just have to be scored by someone each year. He might get the puck more often than other players but given his talent that would happen on any team. Hell, he'd probably have even more if he was playing with a Joe Thornton or Marc Savard type player, though as mentioned above Nicklas Backstrom looks to become his elite play making center for the future.
I just want to get this straight. I am a die-hard Pitt fan, have been since I was born. This was a stupid fight, and could've been way more exciting if they could've gotten their hands free. The Staal brothers are amazing players.. don't diss them. Don't bring Sid or Alex into this, they are amazing players and have nothing to do with Jordan and Matt fighting. The Penguins and the Capitals are both really good teams, and this was just a stupid fight. Get over it and learn how to spell. Done.
do everyone a favor and shut the heck up about things you dont understand. i do understand:
1. capitals suck
2. breashear sucks
3. OVECKIN sucks
4. The pens haven't lost to them at all last year or this year, so when you guys win some games against us.... then we can talk about what team is better
hey idiot at least the penguins got into the playoffs last year, unlike your gay capitals who wasn't even in contention to make the playoffs. ovechkin is a flipping loser, who isn't even the captain but instead loses to someone like Chris Clark. You haven't beated us all last year and this year. so when u losers win some games against us, then we can talk.
Alexander Ovechkin is NOT better than Sidney Crosby. I'm so sick of people comparing them... YES, they are BOTH amazing players... YES, they BOTH deserve way more than what they get, and the critics need to learn how the hell to shut the fuck up!
crosby has scored on his ass about 5 times. he did it against phoenix a couple years and he did it at least twice this year. ovechkins best goal was when he went through the phoenix "D" and was on his back (like usual) and he just flung it in the net, mostly luck though.
Get over the fact that they don't play on the same team, and just try to enjoy 60 minutes of a good hockey game consisting of two great teams... fuck! Is it that hard? I'm not saying that you can't have your own opinions, but 'crosby dives like a little bitch' doesn't make any sense, and isn't much of an insult.
ha, it's a long season bro. Captancy should be based on experience and leadership ability. Crosby lacks in both those categories, he's a bitch. Furthermore, it usually helps your credibility if you can spell words like teacher... just sayin.
so your saying that you would rather have a 17 year veteran who has "leadership and experience" but sucks, be your captain, when you could have a great hockey player who might be young, but still dominates the league????
"Furthermore, it usually helps your credibility if you can spell words like teacher... just sayin." WE R ON THE FLIPPING INTERNET IDIOT, WHO GIVES A WOOT HOW U SPELL THINGS????
You obviously don't know the point of a captain bro... Captians are overrated anyway, it's not a very important thing. Crosby being a captian prooves that. And yeah, I would rather have a veteran as a captain. They've been around the block and can teach the young guys a thing or two about being in the NHL. Crosby's only been in the league two full seasons, he doesn't know dick.
hey idiot, crosby just got 2 more goals against the avs, through 1 period. how did your capitals do tonight??? yea thats right lost 2-0, yeah you guys should be happy with the progess you guys are making! yea, combined, how many awards did the pens win 1,2,3,4? how many did the caps have??? yea that is right THEY HAD NONE IDIOT. the pens r doing okay with a young captain compared to your gay captain. crosby has more talent then your whole gay team has put together
you need to get off your high horse bro. Crosby is a fuckin' bitch and that's all there is to it. And that was dope how ya'll allowed 3 goals in like 5 minutes tonight, keep up the good work.
u wanna compare the standings you idiot?? would you call crsoby that if he was on yr team? no, you would be saying he is the greatest player ever. so cope with the fact that your gay team doesn't have crosby and we do. crosby is dominating the league at 20 years old. if u wanna compare awards to crosby and oveckin, i would love to
you have one more win than us... big fucking deal. And we don't need Crosby 'cause we have Ovechkin. Enough said, I'm tired of arguing with an illiterate, uninformed, scumbag like yourself. holla.
"Crosby's only been in the league two full seasons, he doesn't know dick." -Sidney Crosby has been playing hockey since he was three years old. He proved that he has the skills to be a leader and Captain of a great team, and I think he's doing a damn good job of it.
"Techer"? Also, stupid only has a single 'd' in it, not 5.
Anyway, captaincy is not an indicator of skill. The captain's job is to be an on-ice liaison between the team and the officials, and as a leader for the players. Clark is better than Ovechkin for this role, because of his gritty, hard-working style, and the simple fact that he's a native anglophone.
clark sucks like heck idiot, how the heck is clark doing this year? crosby has an 11 game point streak going. captaincy isn't all skill, but you must have skill to be a good captain. do you think players will listen to someone who sucks?? no, they wouldn't. would they listen to a player that is better then them and the league? yes probably. both clark and ovechkin suck like heck, so go watch your capitals lose, oh thats right they already did we'll see u at the playoffs, if u make it
Why are you calling me an idiot? At least I have a basic mastery of the English language. You realise that sentences start with capital letters, right? And the word "you" has three letters in it.
Anyway, no, Clark doesn't suck. He netted 30 goals last season, he kills on the forecheck, and he knows how to play gritty without being penalized. The Caps definitely listen to him.
(Ovechkin also doesn't suck, for reasons obvious to anyone who isn't a Pens fan...)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is y i dont get hockey. like why r they allowed to fight? does it make them more mocho or sumthin? in other sports they would try to stop a fight ASAP but here they let it go? and why? like now all the players wanna do is fite? i dont get it
Fighting in hockey has been part of the game forever. Its not to feel macho or who is the better fighter. Its more about a protection thing more than anything else.
You don't get it? Aren't sports about physical competition? It's awesome because they only get five minutes off the ice for fighting. In any other sports there would be fines, legal crap, but this, THIS is a SPORT.
hey idiot maybe its because it is exciting and gets the fans excited. notice all the noise in the arena right before, and after the fight. its how you settle differences in hockey

people care about crosby's assists becuase that is how he won the title.

ovechkin scores goals on his back
id like to see crosby do that without crying that someone tripped him
