Better overall player; ovechkin?, or crosby?

Question

better overall player according to you is...?

Answer 1

Overall I'd have to go w/ Crosby. Ovechkin has so far been a one dimensional player. A great scorer though.

Answer 2

crosby.

duh.

Answer 3

This guy is better than both of them combined.

Shut up.

Answer 4

Ovechkin is a good player but the question best overall player and that is Crosby.  Crosby gets goals, plenty of assists, plays power play, penalty kill, effectively.  He draws more penalties.  Ovechkin by default almost has to be a me player.  So it would be Crosby plus he is very personable.

Answer 5

Gretzky

Answer 6

I've never seen either of them in overalls.

Come to think of it though Ovechkin looks like he would fit right in down there in Hooterville doesn't he.

Answer 7

They play different styles and have different roles on their team.

Crosby will go down as one of the NHL Greatest players.

Sorry, learn to live with it... he's that good.

Don't believe me... if you ask # 99 he'll tell you that 87 is the best player he's seen since # 66.

nuff said.

Answer 8

crosby <333

Answer 9

Crosby. He's amazing. But Ovechkin is not too far off. I wouldn't count him out just yet.

Answer 10

me

I mean I totally rock..

Answer 11

Ovechkin is a better hockey player - he is d**n strong, fast, fearless. He looks like a true Canadian classical power forward + with some fancy Russian moves and skating.

Gretzky likes Crosby? Yes. But he also said that Ovechkin is the only player who can score more than his famous 92. As I remember, Alex's idol and favorite player was/is Owen Nolan. I think it is fair to say that they have some similarities ))))

At the same time, Crosby is also a great player but I like Alex more.

Go Habs !!!!

Answer 12

They both have the similar skill level.

Ovechkin had scored more goals then Crosby in the 07-07 season. Ovechkin is also tougher.

Crosby is younger.

A very skilled player and he is a very good captain

Answer 13

Hard to say, but I lean toward Ovechkin based on his style of play and he's a class act.  I especially liked how he saluted the Flyer fans when the Caps lost their series.

Answer 14

Im going to give this one to the dead horse

Answer 15

They are both really great players, but I have to say ovechkin because he's fearless with his checks, and he's such an amazing team player -he gets such as excited when his teammates score as he does for his own goals.  His attitude is just amazing.

Also- I read that he earned a college degree (from Russia, via correspondence) which I think is a great model to set for younger hockey players -after all the NHL isn't known for their scholars!

Answer 16

ovechkin he faster, checks, comes back on defense/ sacrifices his body (on 2 seperate occasion he stood in front of his team empty and blocked shots) he can pass and score and he has such an amazing persoanlity.  Now ovechkin has the team mates to help him and for him to make better as well.  Another thing theodore said that on the day he signed ovie called him from russia to welcome him to the team very classy i like him a lot more

Answer 17

Crosby

Answer 18

Teal Town, GREAT LINK......seriously.

As I've previously stated, AO leads Sid by roughly 15 CAREER points.  Sid missed about 25 games though.  I've seen both in action and both are amazing.  Why try to decide now?  Too early.  Wait about 2 more seasons.  Let's see where they are then.

Answer 19

Ovechkin, is my pick. He seems more dedicated to defense, as well as offense. I like his angry and chippy side. Plus, he doesnt seem to whine and pout, instead he will take a run at the guy thats makes him mad. I am not a big Crosby fan, the guy has tons of skill, and a phenominal touch around the net. I just think he gets more involved in the numbers game, than the winning at all cost style of play.

Answer 20

ovechkin, he plays on a crappy team and he carries it to the playoffs. crosby has better players around him than ovechkin and he hasnt done or won anything. i hope ovechkin wins the cup a couple times in his career and crosby dies. go flyers!

Answer 21

Ovechkin. Crosby is yet to prove himself as true all star unlike Ovechkin, who had an amazing season last season, and proved that he will be a true great.

Answer 22

Ovechkin is a better goal scorer, harder hitter and plays a little more defense than Crosby does, although Crosby is a better playmaker, but I give the edge to Ovechkin

Answer 23

They are both equally as good in different ways.  I don't think they can really be compared.

Answer 24

right now ovechkin but not for long.

Answer 25

It doesn't matter.  Neither of them are going to win the Cup.  Mindy, stop typing in all capitals like every statement you make is a book title.

All you douche bags that think Gretzky has these intuitive visions, maybe you should mark the progress of the Phoenix Coyotes since he took over.  Not a real sharp eye when it comes to recognizing potential.

Answer 26

Ovechkin

But Crosby is very close.

Answer 27

Ovechkin.  More physical and has better defense.  Plus he can score as well as pass.  Both players are amazing, but Ovie's got the edge.

Answer 28

Id give Ovechkin the stronger shot but Crosby definatly makes a rough play look pretty...OVERALL THOUGH....Good ol Sid...Im a Pittsburgher though...maybe im biased...but wasnt it Gretzky himself who said "This is the kid thats gonna break my records"  when watching SID play?
