I have zero interest in proving anyone is the "best" in the world. Genius, you said he had nothing to show for "it." Seriously? Do I really need to do this? Didn't think so.
Is it possible for Malkin to surpass Crosby's legacy

So what players "have something to show" and haven't been a "joke" in the playoffs?
Perhaps that will provide some basis to determine who the best player is.

People really aren't saying that though. Everyone acknowledges how great Crosby is, some just question (like myself) whether he, or Malkin, is the actual the "straw that stirs the drink" in Pittsburgh.
I think if not for that Olympic goal Malkin, with a Ross and Hart this season, would have a better legacy than Crosby already. Calder, Smythe, multiple Ross's and Hart's, maybe another Lindsay, that is a pretty damn impressive resume.
Why wouldn't the player who has produced more and is the better all-around player be the straw.

Do you mean a 3 week period where he has 13 Pts in 18 games? Or 3 goals in 23 games?
That is far more than just a 3 week period. Apart from the first month, he's been very average. In fact if not for that 5 assists game against the Sabres, Crosby's numbers would be horrid over a 2 + months period.
I remember when people used to say how Crosby can never slump. Well here he is slumping and we have apologists claiming how he's hurt.

He didn't have the mumps?

Missed 3 games. He didn't play with the mumps. He had the mumps 2 weeks ago, not 2 months ago when he started his suckage.
Let's play an interesting game, it's called "Let's remain on topic." So, you believe Malkin can surpass Crosby legacy?

It's possible, but seems quite unlikely.

i think it is possible but both have a little work to do to catch up to ovechkin.
