Very close. Both are middle of the pack in terms of best Smythes of their eras.

OV had more goals but the better linemate
Crosby had to shake off a concussion which likely affected his production for a few games.
Crosby was the better player in the SCF so that gives him the slight advantage

 

[Midnight Judges]

It's Ovechkin obviously. Almost twice as many goals, more clutch, better defense, and infinitely more physical.

By virtue of secondary assists, eh?

Ovechkin had 3 goals and 1 primary assist in 5 games (and one secondary assist for 1.00 PPG).

Crosby had 1 goal and 2 primary assists in 6 games (and 4 secondary assists for 1.16 PPG).

[Pi]

Ovie. Goals > assists if points are anywhere close or equal.

 

[Varan]

OV. goals > assists. he had 3 goals in 5 games vs VGK, whereas SC had 1 in 6 games vs NSH. lock this shit up

as an aside, it's really weird how their runs were so close in terms of points, GP, etc.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

OV pretty easily.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Crosby because he carries his own line. Ov had a great playoffs but his linemate outscored him.
