"You're a boring old man"
Your "more shots is a bad thing" argument remains as stupid as ever. If you shoot more and score more - that's a good thing, not a bad thing. If you think more failed shots is a bad thing because you lose possession more often - it's only fair that you also track pass attempts/receptions and failed passes/receptions when looking at playmakers, to compare, which I don't think anyone does in hockey. More goals is a good thing - if you shoot more to score more, it's still a good thing.
Getting back to topic - I'm pretty sure he's posted his top 10 list before and Crosby is on it - just behind Ovechkin is all.

And you don't even get the context I'm talking about. The more you shoot the more likely it is you will score more goals. Hence, shooting vastly more than anyone in hockey today means you're probably going to have great goal scoring finishes. If you think Ovechkin was the best goal scorer last year because he had the most goals, by a whopping 1, then there is nothing to discuss.
That doesn't even begin to dive into the notion that all shots are created equal and that simply shooting the puck because you can is a great thing. I'll give you a hint. It isn't.
If you think that is stupid, you're probably in the wrong place on this forum.
Regardless, this thread is about Howe vs Sid.....why I don't know, because anyone worth a damn knows this is Howe by a pretty decent margin.
