Forget the awards then, let's just look at their best 5 offensive seasons compared to league scoring levels.

-Despite Federovs best offensive seasons coming in years where the league saw an extra 0.5 goals per game than Crosby's he still gets outscored by Crosby by 12 points per year. Take league scoring levels into account what is Crosby beating him by? 20-30?
And if it is all about winning. Where are Fedorov's gold medals at the Olympics? Crosby has 2 of those already.
