Nobody who voted Crosby voted him ONLY because he has a cup. That wouldn’t make sense since Max Talbot would also be better than McDavid. Also, there are a lot of posters who are ignoring playoffs or simply not putting a big enough emphasis on them because it’s a team game and McDavids team sucks. That’s facts. It’s almost like you choose what you want to read.
The fact that you voted McDavid doesn’t make him the obvious answer. Like some posters said earlier in this thread, if you don’t think it’s close, then you’re just flat out biased.
Many voted for him because of his playoff success.....what are you talking about? Did they choose him based on his individual achievements? Exactly. It doesn’t make sense, doesn’t make it less the truth that people have picked Crosby. Your obviously not one of them, but many others still think that way.
they aren’t ignoring playoffs, they see it for what it is. This would be a different race if McDavid had made the playoffs the last 4 years and choked every time. Instead we have one post season to go off of where he wasn’t all that great, and you yourself have seen that used against him, which is nonsense.
As opposed to many Pen fans trying to compare Draisatl and Malkin while ignoring Malkins impact on their first cup run? It goes both ways buddy.
Fact is, their playoff opportunities aren’t equal because of the teams they play on. Many pro Crosby fanboys have used that against McDavid as if that’s his fault, while Pro McDavid posters have used Malkin against Crosby, either way.....I’m not saying playoffs shouldn’t be used, only with the very needed context. But the fact that Crosby was able to win a cup shouldn’t mean he’s “AINEC” better than McDavid. We have no idea how he would have done if he had actually made the post season, what we do know is it’s not even close his fault that they haven’t.
