Question

Don't you think Ovechkin is overrated? Malkin is just as good. Ovech. = goals...Malkin = all around player

Answer 1

lmao....Malkin a more all around player and Ovie isn't?

Ovechkin does everything better then Malkin except for passing but he's almost as good as passing as Malkin.

I don't even know why people say Ovie is bad at passing when he's been averaging like 50 assists a season when most players don't even get 30-40.

Answer 2

no

Malkin is on a Stanley Cup level team.

Ovechkin's team only made the playoffs this year by riding him. His numbers have to be increased or Malkins decreased if you want to compare numbers.

HOWEVER, Malikn does not get to play on a #1 line usually cause of Crosby, but he is also not playing against the #! defensive unit.

Additionally pretty much the whole other teams goal is to shut down ovechkin, cause he is more the singular threat on the ice.

And what are you saying both players get a lot of respect if you are trying to say malkin is not getting his due.

Again its hard to compare the 2 cause one is a winger and one is a center (which is the problem comparing ovie to sid). Though Malkin plays somewhere between a true center and a winger in his style.

Overall Ovechkin was more impressive to me this year, but I have to say that Malkin really showed a lot (especially when crosby went down).

Answer 3

I don't see how you can say EM is a team player but AO is not. I agree. EM is just as good. Just as much a part of the Penguins as AO is to the Caps. Neither team would give away either of them. However, TH is just as much a part of the Red Wings as AO is to the Caps, maybe more because of how long he's been there and he's never up for the Hart trophy.

I'm pretty sure this is what this is about.

Answer 5

You don't watch much hockey do you?

No slight on Malkin (because you can build a team around him), but Ovechkin does it all. You won't find a GM in the universe who would take Malkin over Ovechkin, who is absolutely a complete hockey player... he hits, he grinds, he sets up his teammates, and he scores.
