Zetterberg or Crosby?

Question

Who you think is better? i Say

Zetterberg. what do you guys think?

Answer 1

im amazed everytime i watch zetterburg and datsyuk on the ice.  these guys are so fast and quick on the ice, both offensively and defensively.  Z just flies around the ice, and his passing skills are underrated.  Hes also a better finisher than crosby.  not to take anything away from the kid, but zetterburg has had a better playoffs, and right now is the better player.

Answer 2

Sid the Kid

i mean he is amazing, and before he got hurt he was on pace to have more then 120 points!!!!!

Answer 3

Zetterberg...he's a pure-goal scorer and a complete player...just look at his defensive play and plus minus.  Crosby while really talented is just an over-rated play-maker...there's plenty of those in the NHL.

Now whoever said Crosby is gonna break any of Gretzky records is absolutely crazy and knows nothing about hockey.  His numbers over his first three seasons don't even compare to Gretzky's or Mario's.

Lets Compare:

GP-G-A-PTS

Crosby

81-39-63-102

79-36-84-120

53-24-48-72

Gretzky

79-51-86-137

80-55-109-164

80-92-120-212

Mario

73-43-57-100

79-48-93-141

63-54-53-107

Until Corsby either eclipses the 100 assist plateau or 135 point plateau he shouldn't be considered great...120 in the history of the league is an average superstar season total.

Answer 4

sorry but i have to go with crosby on this one...he, as of right now, based on tear he's been on during the last few seasons, stands the best chance at breaking Gretzky's record....

Answer 5

Ugh, hard question. They both annoy me because I don't like the Wings or the Pens. But Sidney whines more, a LOT more, so I say Zetterberg is better.

Answer 6

Zetterberg - for all those reasons already stated, and he has the better beard.

Answer 7

The one and only "Z" man!

Answer 8

As a wing fan, I hate to say it, but probably Crosby.  I say that only because that Zetterberg has more talent around him, and less need to be the HUGE star, while Crosby has to feel like he needs to carry the team.

Answer 9

ZETTERBERG

Answer 10

I agree with Zetterberg.  Before HE got hurt he would have had lots more points, too.  Pure speculation I think.  Anyway, Sid the Kid is fantastic but so is Zetts.

Answer 11

crosby all the way!!!!!

Answer 12

CROSBY!!!! #87! i am from Pennsylvania, a true Pens fan. LETS GO PENS!

Answer 13

Zetterberg........not as much hype about him but he the better overall player.

Answer 14

Until Crosby perfects his defensive game, Zetterberg is the more complete player.  Not taking anything away from Crosby, but Zetterberg had 90+ points while missing a few games, AND is a nominee for the Selke.

Answer 15

Yesterday, today and tomorrow I will say Zetterberg. His complete game is only rivaled by his teammate Datsyuk. There is a reason both were in the top of the league for scoring AND plus/minus.

Answer 16

Zetterberg - offensively they are on par, but Zetterberg blows Sid away on defense, and is less easily rattled.

Answer 17

Though I wish it wasn't so, Crosby is the better talent.

Answer 18

Crosby - He creates more opportunities for others to succeed.

Answer 19

offensively, downright skills: Crosby (but not by a landslide)

2 way player, and understanding of TOTAL game: Zetterberg (BY A LANDSLIDE)

consider this:

both have 21 pts in the playoffs, but look at their +/- ... IN THE PLAYOFFS now, not the regular season:

Zetterberg: 15

Crosby: 6

HMM!

Answer 20

Crosby is the best. Crosby is from Canada, were hockey was first played. Zetterberg has 8 years and Crosby has 3... People have said that Crosby is the only player to have a chance of breaking The Great One's records....In there rookie years. Crosby has out performed Zetterberg.... Crosby is overall the best hockey player since The Great One!!!!!

Answer 21

Zetterberg plays in all situations including PK. Plus he is the complete player, can score assist, and defend. Right now I would say Zetterberg. But defense is something that can be learned and instilled in a player so Crosby has the chance to go right by Zetterberg as he matures.

Answer 22

Need we say more!!!

Answer 23

Zetterberg for now, he has more experience and is a terrific overall player.  Crosby could easily develop into the type of player that will be immortalize like Mario or Wayne.

Answer 24

Zetterberg is a great player, but Crosby wins this one pretty easily. Remember that Crosby was the best in the NHL last season. Zetterberg is a talented forward but I think he fits more in the category with Simon Gagne or Hossa. Zetterberg is a star player but he is not someone who has a chance to redefine the game.

Answer 25

Zetterberg of course.
