Ovechkin had a 41-game stretch in 07-08 of 36g, 30a, 66p
Sidney Crosby's 41-game 10-11 season was 32g 34a, 66p
Pretty close, same sample size and what I would define as both players' peaks.
Crosby was pretty consistent that season with only 6 pointless games, but just 2 hat tricks and 2 4-point games.
Ovechkin was less consistent in that 41-game stretch with 12 pointless games, but had monster games with 2 4-goal games, 1 other hat trick, 3 5-point games and a 4-point game.
I think both players have a pretty good argument and I'm undecided between them.
Yeah you see everyone talking about Crosby's 41 game season, but Ovechkin had similar runs in his full seasons.
