I would guess most would say Ovechkin but if you promised me I get Cindy for 80 games a year and he's healthy for the playoffs I take Crosby.

That's my thing. If you ignore Crosby being a goddamn pussy he's just so complete.
Ovechkin is definitely the more popular choice especially among more casual fans.
I've also been someone who values skill/playmaking but it's a legit either or question and if Ovie nails down a title this year it becomes even more of a question.
Great question. I hate Crysby and love Ovi because I am a homer. I believe Ovi has the better numbers but cant confirm this right now because NHL Pro Reference isn't loading right now for me.
If we're talking strictly pts, it's Crosby by a pretty wide margin. Ovie isn't a high assist guy at all.
But there is more to it. And going with Ovechkin is perfectly reasonable.
How do you figure its a wide margin in Crosby's favor by pts when Ovi has more then him?
