Let's be honest - neither player went to the U, so obviously both are inferior players.

[inyoursea]

Were you trying to comment on Puck Daddy or something?

[fallout1819]

Let's be honest - neither player went to the U, so obviously both are inferior players.
Crosby went to Shattuck's and that's in Minnesota so is that 1 for Bing?

[LastPlaceRocks]

Yeah, but that's a 1 on a much larger scale plus he's a foreigner. Let's face it, at the end of the day Sid the Kid is still a Gopher reject along with Alexander the Great.

Now to steer this in a new and obviously much better direction - Keith Ballard v. Paul Martin?

[we are cured]

ballard has 'balla' in his name so he wins

[fallout1819]

ballard has 'balla' in his name so he wins
Winner.

Its pointless to argue this It all comes down to what you prefer in a player, and I prefer Crosby.

[LastPlaceRocks]

So in conclusion what people prefer in a player is that he plays on your team.

[we are cured]

i was explaining it to some casual hockey fans last night...crosby, ovechkin, malkin, datsyuk and a few others are on a very similar level. it will be years before we can distinguish who was truly the best.

[fallout1819]

So in conclusion what people prefer in a player is that he plays on your team.
Not necessarily. I like watching Sid because he makes plays no other player can. Personality factors in as well and Sid may be boring but I like that he's not over the top. Its okay for Ovechkin to do what he does, sell the game, right?

[lenard27]

This.
They're all going to have better seasons at some point than the other guys, but you'll be able to tell who's best by looking back on the whole career. Of course, I think even that is going to be very, very close.

[Schmidty Says]

Your opinion doesn't count.

Its sort of unfair to compare them though because they all play different styles.

[lenard27]

That's true, but it's going to happen anyways, obviously.

[LastPlaceRocks]

Your opinion doesn't count.
Neither does yours.

Its sort of unfair to compare them though because they all play different styles.
That's why Balla v. Martin is fun.

[fallout1819]

Neither does yours.


That's why Balla v. Martin is fun.
I'm sticking with Balla.

[Nobodyhearsyou]

Your opinion doesn't count.
It's not an opinion when there are facts to back it up.
Such as how he is constantly complaining about getting hit.
Ovechkins goals are always so much better. Crosby waiting around the net for all three goals last night. Thats what you call a little bitch.

[xbrokendownx]

so waiting around the net to score goals makes you a bitch? good to know

[LastPlaceRocks]

It's not an opinion when there are facts to back it up.
Such as how he is constantly complaining about getting hit.
Ovechkins goals are always so much better. Crosby waiting around the net for all three goals last night. Thats what you call a little bitch.
No, that's called having good enough hockey sense to be in the right place at the right time. And I'm not really sure how that constitutes facts.

[lenard27]

Yeah, especially in the playoffs, a goal is a goal. I don't care how pretty it is, it all adds one to the scoreboard.

[LastPlaceRocks]

I'm sticking with Balla.
Still go with Balla versus Goli?

[fallout1819]

Still go with Balla versus Goli?
Hmm, yeah. I like Balla better.

[fallout1819]

These aren't facts. He doesn't complain about getting hit, he's a physical player and dishes the hits out. Not as much as Ovechkin, but he certainly doesn't complain about clean ones.
Sid isn't a goal scorer so that point doesn't matter.
As Nate said, scoring from where he did is good hockey sense. It doesn't matter how the goals are scored, they all count the same.

[xbrokendownx]

i just think its hilarious to say that a player that goes to the net is a bitch, when in fact the opposite is more likely true

[LastPlaceRocks]

Hmm, yeah. I like Balla better.

No, the correct answer is still Goli. We've already learned that player on your team > everyone else.

[fallout1819]

No, the correct answer is still Goli. We've already learned that player on your team > everyone else.
Dammit! I'm forgetting everything I learned in this thread already. Working your way to the front of the net makes you a bitch. Good hockey sense = bitch. Got it now.

[we are cured]

the only thing bitch about crosby is his pathetic attempt at playoff facial hair

[LastPlaceRocks]

That is very true - he should have gone with the HS tradition of bleaching hair instead because that's a sad looking beard.

[lenard27]

Oh god, bleaching hair...I bet that would look awesome on Malkin.

[killerswells]

ovechkin and crosby are both great, but two completely different styles of players.

ovechkin is great by himself, crosby makes everyone around him better. besides, to say crosby doesnt score goals is bullshit, he has the most goals in the playoffs right now.

[LastPlaceRocks]

So in conclusion Ovechkin is a bitch for not sharing and Crosby is a bitch for letting the other players into the game.

[chris1152]

So in conclusion Ovechkin is a bitch for not sharing and Crosby is a bitch for letting the other players into the game.

Not sharing? He may take a lot of shots but every game you see someone different stepping up to the plate with goals, assists, or generally good plays. Last night and game 1 it was David Steckel... in round 1 it was Matt Bradley, Federov, Poti, etc.

The fact is, the Caps entire offense is a machine and not just Ovechkin. You saw this a lot especially in round 1 against the Rangers when Ovechkin stepped back, played less flashy, and passed the puck to the players that were stepping it up because he knew it was what was needed to get the W.

[we are cured]

dude he was joking

[chris1152]

Oh, my bad. I just woke up from a quick nap and read this thread and my sarcasm detector seems to be out of batteries.

[fallout1819]

Ovechkin is a bitch because he's missing his front tooth and refuses to buy a new one.

[lenard27]

So in conclusion, Ovechkin is a bitch because of his poor dental work and Crosby is a bitch because he has pubes above his lip.

[rcrook]

Lets be honest... Crosby is a little bitch. Discuss.

oh the irony of your username

[fallout1819]

We finally have the answer to the question that has plagued mankind since 2005. Who is the biggest bitch? It seems they're equal!

[LastPlaceRocks]

That doesn't make him a bitch, just a cheap ass.

[lenard27]

I'm glad that's settled then.




So would that make Malkin the best?

[fallout1819]

Nah, Datsyuk.

[lenard27]

Uh oh, looks we've got to have another bitch off between Datsyuk and Geno.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

For the record, both Crosby and Ove do some incredible things but they do cherry pick as well. They both do their fair share of standing in front of the net for the rebound. A goal is a goal in my book. To be truthful with you, as a team leader, I like Malkin better then both of them.

[we are cured]

oh the irony of your username

haha this

[GoWaitInTheCar]

So in conclusion Ovechkin is a bitch for not sharing and Crosby is a bitch for letting the other players into the game.

My vote is this.

[fallout1819]

Uh oh, looks we've got to have another bitch off between Datsyuk and Geno.
Aww, damn! Its an endless cycle!

[LastPlaceRocks]

I'm glad that's settled then.




So would that make Malkin the best?
Nope, he's still a Gopher reject. Plus Malkin's a bitch for being unable to fly over Balla.

[Schmidty Says]

Neither does yours.


That's why Balla v. Martin is fun.
I know, that's why I didn't put my two cents in.

It's not an opinion when there are facts to back it up.

Ovechkins goals are always so much better. Crosby waiting around the net for all three goals last night. Thats what you call a little bitch.
No, that's what you call doing the dirty work. Digging pucks out of the corner and going to the front of the net looking for a rebound makes someone a bitch? Have you ever played hockey that's not on a video game console?

[StuGrimson]

this isnt a statement for who is the best but what makes me appreciate guys like crosby and datsyuk more is that when they are bad they dont hurt their teams. When Malkin and ovechkin are bad they are really really really bad and make some of the worst hockey decisions you will ever see. Just watch malkin try to play defense in the playoffs to see what im talking about. And ovechkin in the regular season sometimes gets to caught up in trying to score and puts himself out of position so often. In the playoffs he has stepped up that part of his game so i will give him that.

[WakingTheMisery]

This blog made me laugh. Mostly for the title/picture.

That was too good of a take for this thread.

No, THE U.

well id still take jason blake over both of them

That picture certainly got a lol from me. So unexpected.

hahaha, forgot that one guy gets hardcore body-slammed in the middle of that video

[KidRobot]

Ovechkin vs Crosby?

Why such a random matchup?

my favorite is the guy who comes in using his helmet as a tomahawk.

[killerswells]

hahahahahaha. you must be from toronto. wellwood and sundin are doing wonders over in van city. whats wrong with the leafs man, bring back doug gilmour and wendall clark.

Ovechkin vs Crosby?

Why such a random matchup?

random? this has been like topic of debate since they both entered the nhl.

[StuGrimson]

I despsie Jason Blake more than any human to ever walk the streets of Toronto.

the leafs will contend for a playoff spot next year but they need to make some key signings in off season to make sure it happens. And find a goalie who isnt as shaky as Toskala.

Im happy to see Sundin doing well and having a chance to win but Wellwood is still a piece of shit. Fat, lazy and never tried. He thought he could just ride his natural abilities to the bank. and that wasnt going to fly in toronto.

I see this.

[Chris M.]

Forget about Crosby and Ovechkin - the best hockey player in the world is Petteri Nokelainen.

[acfrue]

Let's be honest - neither player went to the U, so obviously both are inferior players.

Lol, neither can compare to Jordan Leopold and Thomas Vanek, amirite?

I can't even imagine how these guys (Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin) are gonna be 5 years from now.

[jtyexists9]

Lets face it the whole Eastern Conference is full of bitches.
