I mean, he's got Malkin on his line! Who does Kovalchuk have?! He's good, but overrated. I wish certain TV stations (I'm looking at you CBC) would stop treating him like the next Gretzky, cause he's not.
I would agree with that. If you ever watch Crosby play, he never really picks up his game until the 3rd period. He also doesn't have that killer instinct like Ovechkin does. Ovechkin wants to score all the time, and Crosby seems like he could care less if he scores any goals. Not that its not important to get a ton of assists, but I think a guy who scores 50 goals is more important than a guy who gets 80 assists. And I'm I'm not saying Crosby isn't a tremendous player, but I don't think he's in the top 5 in the NHL.
