Don't shoot the messenger, but some people, including Ovechkin, think he's the most talented young player in the NHL, not Sidney Crosby. They may make funny commercials together, but compete like demons on the ice.
For the NHL, it's deja vu to 50 years ago, like arguing whether Jean Beliveau or Rocket Richard was better.
Crosby, like Beliveau, is tall, strong and graceful on ice with a tremendous determination to win.
Ovechkin, like Richard, can be unorthodox, can score in traditional ways or from his knees, his belly and his butt, and has a fanatical determination to win.

Sure, Crosby is tall, but Ovechkin is taller. :)))

Crosby's like Beliveau?
Wow. Somebody needs to bone up on their hockey history. You can't simply liken Crosby's style to Beliveau's because they were both great pivots.
That's just lazy journalism.
