Fenxis 99 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Did you also realize that Ovechkin hardly has any decent players to play with compared to Crosby (although losing Recchi sucks). Not to mention, he has plenty of assists himself. And he can actually hit, and doesn't constantly take stupid penalties.Ovechkin should have a pile more assists than he does. Watch a game and you'll see him make tons of tape-to-tape passes only for the recipient to miss the wide-open one-timer. Link to post Share on other sites
nell789 0 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 He also plays defensively, - ZachDidn't he get moved from centre to wing earlier in the season precisely because he couldn't play defensively? Link to post Share on other sites

HtotheNootch 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 This must be one of the most loaded classes in NHL memory. Svatos had a great year, and fell under the Radar. Petr Prucha scores a goal every other game he plays (later call-up/injury) and won't get even a thought. What a rookie class! I think however this shakes out, it bodes well for the future of the NHL.

scorps1973 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Crosby is better than Ovechkin at the game of HOCKEY.Ovechkin is better than Crosby at scoring goals, and has higher "wow" factor.Crosby plays a complete game. There are reasons he has less goals than Ovechkin, and it's not because he can't score. He passes. He also plays defensively, and he can read the ice like no one since Gretzky and Lemieux.Crosby is amazing. Everybody in the hockey world focuses on goals WAY too much in this Calder race, not to mention the fact that Crosby is only 4 or 5 points behind Oveckin, with 20 games to go, it wouldn't be hard to catch him.- ZachI disagree about Crosby being the best at reading the ice since Gretzky, the best player at reading the ice and make amazing passes in the last 3-4 years has been Forsberg. Crosby does have the abilty to find the open player but it's not nearly as developed as Forsbergs. Link to post Share on other sites
