[Highmarker]

Crosby Malkin and Ovechkin all day.

 

[bathdog]

Bure was a good, but I find it really hard to argue him over Ovechkin in pretty much any scenario, which makes me choose Crosby/Malkin/Ovechkin.

 

[nowhereman]

Not close. 2011 Crosby, 2009 Malkin and 2008 OV.

Peak Playoff runs:

Bure > OV
Sakic = Malkin >= Crosby >=Forsberg


Quite close actually.

At their overall peaks:

OV > Bure
Malkin = Crosby > Sakic = Forsberg

 

[Varan]

Peak Playoff runs:

Bure > OV
Sakic = Malkin >= Crosby >=Forsberg


Quite close actually.

At their overall peaks:

OV > Bure
Malkin = Crosby > Sakic = Forsberg

let's not forget OV at his peak scored 40 points in 28 games for a 1.42 PPG and 20 goals for a 0.71 GPG. it's just that his team couldn't score more than 2 goals in a game 7 and overall defensively was terrible. for me peak OV >> peak bure during the playoffs

I consider Bure's peak run 94 in the playoffs more impressive than Ovy's considering he basically carried his linemates, and lead the team in the goal scoring, while Ovechkin had a much better powerplay team, far better centers to work with, and a overall more talented team. Imagine if Bure had that level of luxury along with no line pass, and the rule changes in 2005 onwards.

Peak Bure>>Peak Ovechkin in playoffs.
