I think both players are going to be great, but which one is going to be the better of the two? And by the way, if there is no season next year (god forbid), do the Caps get the 1st overall pick on '05 also

Crosbyfan said:Crosby because his scoring is better even though he's almost two years younger and his all-around game is better than Ovechkins at the same age... by a country mile.

CrosbyIsGod said:Crosby +40 does not mean is an all around player and is good defensively... ahh youre so jealous
Wild Thing said:I'd take Crosby. I heard Ovechkin's allergic to bee stings.
Vincent_TheGreat said:Crosby, better scoring forward also more rounded. Only thing Ovechkin has over him is size! Crosby easily!
Epsilon said:Seeing you take Crosby here and Bergeron in that other thread is hilariously inconsistent (this goes for Crosbyfan as well).
pittengineer said:I dont know if I would put all-around game and Crosby in the same sentence. Crosby is going to be good, but its goin to only be based on his offensive skills. Ovechkin will succeed based on his offensive skills(slightly below crosby probably), but his all around game is leaps and bounds over crosby. Not to mentions crosby plays in an offensive league with players his age and ovechkin plays with players in their prime in a defensive league. There is just no comparison in evaluating all around game between the two.
moosefan said:Leaps and bounds?????? I don't think you have seen Crosby play, the guy plays a good two way game to go along with his super offensive skills. I have seen both play live and I would take Crosby in a heart beat over Ovechkin. The Q is not the big offensive league any more, there is trap hockey and defense is really starting to crack down, don't know if you seen the top scorers latley in the CHL but the QMJHL only had 2 100 point scorers, OHL finished with the most. Have to stop talking about the past with the QMJHL and really start looking at the present.
You , obviously know very little about the significance of plus-minus and verypittengineer said:if +/- was only a personal stat. +/- is a team stat more than anythings, if the team is good=its players have good +/- and viceversa.
Why do I have to be jealous? Neither player is on my team. Are you biased CrosbyisGod?
To be completely truthful, here is how both players are going to do in their first years in the NHL respectively.
Ovechkin:will come in from day 1 and have a sound all around game at the nhl level, will score around 60 points plus/minus 5 points, will not have extreme difficulty adjusting to the nhl.
Crosby: will take time to develop. does not have the overall game to play from day 1 in the nhl. that being said, he could start from day 1 with his offensive skill set. will struggly adapting to the defensive style of game that is played in the nhl.
Take in mind this is only year one. Crosby will prob develop into a good player, just not in his first year. Ovechkin on the other hand, will be able to come in from day one and succeed. Crosby's ceiling is a lil higher because of is offensive upside, but he most likely will be a one-way player when he develops his game to the nhl level.
