Not since Bird vs Magic has their been a rivalry as intense as this one.

WHO is better? In my personal opinion, i think Ovechkin is a thousand times better but because ovechkin is russian he doesnt get enough credit.

SUNDAY IS THE BEST!!

To me, Ovechkin is better. Better stats, plays a more physical (sometimes controversial) game.

But your saying he doesn't get enough credit? Maybe from the American media outside of Washington, or non-hockey fans. I hear plenty of praise for him here.

Should be a great game. So much to watch tomorrow, this, curling (that's probably just me) and Super Bowl.

I can't wait to see them play eachother at the Olympics, if they play eachother.

Crosby is a better all around player, he's consistently at the top of the Pens' scoring list and he plays the penalty kill on a regular basis. Ovie is possibly a better offensive player, but a lot of what he does is flashy. He's a pretty cocky guy as well and there have been a few games where all he does is try to kill Malkin. Ovie's also got that hugely curved stick, which would help anyone shoot; Crosby practically uses a 2x4.

I think it's only on here in Canada:P It's the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the biggest Canadian Woman's tournament of the year.

And if the Russian thing is directed to me, I didn't say that. If it's to him, I think he said he doesn't get enough credit, which I disagree with.

I do think though Crosby has done more with less, his linemates aren't nearly as good as Ovechkin's are.

Ovechkin scores 55-65 goals regularly and it won't be a surprise when he hits 70 or even 80 goals the guy is by far the best player in the league.

There's no better matchup right now in sports than Caps vs. Penguins. Get your popcorn ready.

Goals aren't everything, and even if they were: Crosby just tied up Ovie for the top spot in the league.

I saw the one where the guy dropped his stick, tackled Crosby, punched him with both hands in the back of the head while Crosby was lying on the ice, then kept his knee on Crosby's back for ten seconds, then punched him again, then went and got his stick.

First of all Crosby is better than Oveckin oveckin can only play when he shoots the puck and he can hit but that dosen't mean he can play D anyhow. I think Oveckin gets more than enough credit and Crosby is the one with the Stanley cup ring who took the puck from Ovie and scored with no effort to beat the caps 6-1 in game 7 when it counted. Until Oveckin can win something CROSBY is better.

1st in the East and even the league right now and we already beat the Penguins twice already with a 14 game winning streak while destroying teams. Granted one could argue that maybe the Devils and Blackhawks are better in the but how are we overrated?

Penguins were up 4-2, and then got annhilated after that. Caps just played as badly as the Penguins, and then realized they werent that bad.

Because if he gets injured the team will suffer. He is more lethal and more rested when he doesnt kill penalites. Gretzky or Lemiux never killed penalties.

Lemieux killed penalties.
