Alright, enough shit talking. Real hockey evaluations.
Sid has countless more assists than goals. He makes players around him better. Like Kunitz, Dupuis or Cooke. These guys are scoring goals and setting career milestones playing with Crosby and Malkin. He is a leader in the locker room and on the ice. Yes, other teams fans and teams in general hate him, and with solid reasoning. It doesn't change the fact that he is a great player. Why did the NHL make him their face if they didn't agree?
Ovechkin is a really good player. Sniper, generates a lot of offensive opportunities, aggressive. He is a different style of player than Sid is. The only real difference i see is that Ovechkin doesn't really make his teammates better. I have seen plenty of caps games where they are forcing Ovechkin the puck in hopes he'll do the scoring. It's hard to win a cup that way and the Caps have proved that year in and year out.
There are other great players in the league. Nash and Giroux come to mind. So do some of the younger kids like T. Seguin and E. Kane. Dynamic and exciting players.
You were right. Hockey is a TEAM game. That's what makes Crosby such a good player. He can score 30 a season and have over 100 points because he makes the players around him contribute. The fact that you don't like him doesn't make him any less of a star player. It also comes off as cocky on YOUR part for saying so.
