I just can't belive what a great oppurtunity it is to sell Ovie vs. Crosby, even guys on ARound the Horn were giving props to the series for being entertaining and normally they just bash hockey everytime its brought up.

Just imagine Ovie vs. Crosby commercials all day for the last days pumping up the series, in my head there is that old MJ song from the commercial playing "Anything you can do I can do better" with jsut highliest of Ovie and Crosby.

Man it pisses me off, this is the game that could of saved the NHL. Now its just a What If left for hardcore fans to ponder.

Somebody got my hopes up

well duh your penguin homerism is gonna say crosby is better which the hell he aint. and of course malkin is better than an old federov who was 1 of the best back in the day

Please explain why Ovechkin is better than Crosby. Yes, he is a better shooter, but Crosby crashes the net, plays great defense, blocks shots, plays on the PK, and doesn't take stupid penalties. He does all of that and he is only 1 point behind Ovechkin for the series.

I guess I should fix my quote to accurate depict the final point totals.

Where are you Fred? I am waiting to hear why Ovechkin is so much better than Crosby.

Are you basing your opinion of whether crosby is better than ovechkin based on team success?

No, I concede that Ovechkin is a better shooter and natural scorer. I believe Crosby is better because he does more to help his team win. He plays much better defense and isn't afraid to crash or get dirty in front of the net.

I'll give you the defense part, Crosby seems to be better defensively than ovechkin.

Ovie isnt the "crash the net" kind of guy though Ovie is skillful. Crosby gets in front of the net more (i'll take your word, I haven't seen crosby play as much), but if the pucks go in, I dont care how you score.

Pen's just slapped the caps silly.

I stopped watching after they went up 5-0. What a let down especially after the first 6 games.

Yeah -- really wasn't much of a "Epic game 7 battle"

If it had been on ESPN, the ratings I'm sure would have stunk.

Because he can take a hit and doesn't whine to the refs every five minutes.I said it before and i'll say it again all he is is another mario.Hey maybe he'll retire too early since when he doesnt like the way the game is called anymore.Better yet i know this is mean but maybe he'll get hodgkins disease too.Big f**kin p***y is all he is.
