If you look at there Careers, can one really say that Crosby has outperformed Ovechkin thus far? IMO, Ovechkin's 07-08' season was better than any of Crosby's seasons.
Oh, and, injuries play a big factor, the player who is less injured (IMO) and more durable should make that player advantageous to have.
Now, both their individual performances are on par together.
Can you really say that Crosby has had the better career than Ovechkin?
Hockey is a 20-man-game, Ovechkin finally won this year, but, the previous years he had no help from his team-mates.
This year, when OV's teammates finally decided to show up ---- the caps looked just as dangerous as the Pens ever did.
Remember, Crosby had superstars on his teams when he won the cup. It's not Ovechkin's fault that his teammates didn't show up.
Crosby, Malkin, Kessel, Neal, Hornquvist, Kunitz, Letang, Gonchar, Guentzel, etc.
Crosby's team was always loaded in the Playoffs. Meanwhile, OV's team never showed up.
So, can you make a justified argument, without using cups as a factor (since Hockey is a 20 man sport), about who is better?
