I think B&L is just a little angry that Crosby scored a goal on Miller. You're arguments just come off as insults directed at Crosby rather than constructive criticism. I think both players are incomparable due to their different playing styles and the roles that they have to take.
BTW, Ovie was suspended for very dirty plays that could end players careers (boarding and that sketchy Campbell hit). So if anybody believes that Crosby has committed any of these offences then post them on this board. I hear talks of him not getting suspended for his dirtiness so show us some evidence.
Agreed.
Crosby's vision, hockey sense, and ability to play the game at such a high level in EVERY facet is why I like him more and think he's the better player.
That said I love to watch Ovie play just as much, maybe even a little more. He's phenomenal as well.
If you're trying to say OV doesn't have the Vision or hockey sense that Crosby has then you're flat out retarded. Maybe Crosby is a bit better defensively maybe not, maybe the players put on the ice for the Capitals in SH far exceed both Crosby and Ovechkin's defensive games that you wouldn't want anyone else on the ice.
I don't agree a player needs to have SH time on the ice to prove if he is a liability on defense or not, there are always better players for that role. Would you rather have Mike Grier and Kaleta on the PK or would you rather have a Crosby or Ovechkin on that line?
I know I'm picking Grier over both for the PK, I would pick Drury over both on the PK also, Jordan Staal over almost anyone, Mike Richards over anyone else too.
But Ovechkin never plays on the PK, not because he can't play defense, it's just because they have better options, Crosby would never be the first unit on the PK, and maybe not even the second unit. He would maybe be one of those guys to fill in if a main PKer is the one in the box.
Ovechkin and Crosby are the two most offensive players in the league today, that won't ever change. I still am going to say Ovechkin will end with a better PPG then Crosby and more goals, but Crosby won't be very far behind in PPG or points. Maybe more points if he ends up having a longer career because of playing styles.
Ovechkin is far more exciting to watch because he is a bigger player and actually can use his body way more effectively then Crosby ever can, but Crosby has more patience probably and makes different plays. OV is a sniper and Crosby is the playmaker type.
Also if an Offensive guy goes behind their own redline it means the defense is way out of posistion, and in Hockey the wingers should NEVER go behind the redline, that is the center's job to go into the corners and help the defense out. The wingers should be up to receive the pass to start the breakout, it's simple fundamentals of hockey.

As I said in the GDT, the call on Rivet was horseshit. The Bruins player was holding onto Rivet's stick like it was the last fucking raft on the Titanic.
