Good choice, nowhere close to Sid's level, nor will he be. But still a good choice.
Yes, amazing what $9 mil + guaranteed can give one the freedom to do.
I give that Ovechkin is the more physical player, but come on, Crosby is by far the more complete player. Also Sid has won every head to head important meeting, World Junior, Stanley Cup playoffs, World championship and ... oh yeah Olympics ... in Russia even.
I don't see any of our million dollar boys rushing to stand up with him, do you? What's your boy Sid got to say? Oh yeah, NOTHING, he's got an image to keep right. Kind of sad in my opinion. We used to play the game hard without a fuck as to who thought what of us. I prefer being Canadian, not an American flunky. But you all do as you must. He's not the main reason for international success either. Price and an unbelievable team are.
Your intense dislike of Crosby makes your posts irrelevant. You have no objectivity. Ovie, Price and the rest of team Canada are all better than Sid. Sure.
Why do all the professional analysts put Crosby at the top of the ladder? (This should be good for a laugh.)
Are they stupid, biased, paid off, blind, all the above?
BTW, who or what are "million dollar boys"? It sounds a term for a rookie.

Just today they were talking about the to 100nhl'ers and the guys dare to probably put him in the top ten, they have to wait and see. Lol
But definitely top 20 of all time.
He's done so much it's insane, and this year he's just catapulted himself to another level of hockey.
But, everyone has their say and opinion, not saying you're completely wrong but you really should consider the numbers aaaand highlight reels. You can catch those after every penguin's game it seems. Lol

You really don't think Crosby has any international impact on the game? I'm not being sarcastic when I ask this, I'm just surprised, that's all.
Well said. I hate Crosby but I respect him for what he does for hockey Canada. Can't argue that he is the most consistent player in the NHL and if Kessel can be half as consistent as Crosby, Kessel might be an MVP.
I'm not saying Sid's not a great player, hell ya he is. The thing I knocking is his pretty boy poster image. I like the fact that Ovie plays the game and doesn't give a fuck about image. Think he'd get a hell of a lot more credit if he was from Canada rather than Russia. And million dollar boys is in reference to the comment by Ironhead that Ovie can afford to say that "he's playing for his country" because he makes 9 million. Bullshit! Sid's not paid less, neither are a lot of other Canadian boys but somehow they can't say shit. You think Espo, Howe, Bossy or most any of our boys from the past would be so fucking mute about the issue? Hell Even Gretzky's come out to say we should play.
Crosby is seriously considered to be top 10-top 15 when the NHL reveals it's top 100 players of all time. Wonder were OV ranks?
