Because Crosby is the new golden boy, and he just happens to be canadian. They have completely ignored Ovechkin on TSN but whenever Sidney takes a dump they tell us what toilet paper he uses. Everyone is banking on him, the networks know there is money to be made on the crosby gravy train. The same thing would happen to an american player in the states...look at lebron james.AgentNaslund said:why dont you share with everyone here why you think theres a media slant in Canada. Tell us about it. Let us hear your side. It better be good too.

CSKA said:Some people just need to realise that Ovechkin is better build for the NHL than Crosby point !
Kärppä32 said:Pavel Bure wasn't really build for the NHL, but he did fine.
Err... What ?Kärppä32 said:Pavel Bure wasn't really build for the NHL, but he did fine.
CSKA said:Aha you think Crosby has Bure ofence ?
I think you should watch some Bure videos again and again ....
And Crosby has. That's why he was/is and will be on TSN.ca main pageClaypool said:Oven chicken hasen't posed topless for any magazines.
Kärppä32 said:Bure size is smilar to Crosby.
I thought your inital point was that Ovechkin is better build than Crosby.
SethKeggins said:What gives?!?
"Crosby scores a scrimmage goal"
"Ovechkin, 3 goals, an assist (which could have been the 4th off a deflection)"
..I know, I know
CSKA said:I meant Bure did well because of hes awesome ofence skillz and i really dont think Crosby is in Bures ofence league.
Pretty much what Penguin scouts have been saying and thats not a put down to Crosby. It just shows how good Ovechkin is and what isn't being said about him is his great attitude with the media. His English is already better than Jagr's and I think that shows alot about a young kid. This kid just gets pluses for everything thats wanted in a superstar on and off of the ice.EroCaps said:Ovechkin has amazing vision and touch. He could have easily had 5-7 pts last night w/the passes he made. I think the two are fairly equal.

#66 said:His English is already better than Jagr's.
OK maybe I was considering Jagr being in NA for over 10 years and his English still being very bad but I don't think that AO's is that far from Jagr's.roshiajin said:I agree with everything you said, but not this. His English is definitely not as good as Jagr's. Far from it.
Kärppä32 said:BTW Ovechkins physical style of hockey may lead to injuries in the future.

Pepper said:There is a huge media bias towards Crosby, that's a fact nobody can deny. If Crosby had scored the same points as AO in the pre-season, it would be headlining TSN every day until the next lockout ends.
arrbez said:While it's true that Sydney will never be sexy on magazine covers like Vinnie Lecavalier or Pavel Bure, he's certainly not ugly like Ovechkin.
Ovechkin is a whole different breed of ugly. As I say, it's nodoby's fault, and hell, I actually really like the kid and his style of play...but c'mon, the boy is a goblin
