Wow.

You are joking right?!?!

Everything you just said here is completely false. Crosby digs very effectively in the corners, and DOES give/take pretty nice shots at people. He is a very tenacious and positionally sound player.

Crosby is also an excellent two way player, and I have no idea where this "isn't the 1st player in the backcheck' bullshit is coming from.

As far as Crosby/Malkin goes - you DO realize that a major reason why Malkin racks up points (aside from the fact that he's talented as hell), is the fact that the TOP defenders and shut down forwards are all over Crosby's ass right? (which is why often times, the Pens sometimes put Malkin and Crosby on the same line to counter this).

Crosby does whine a lot, but the guy IS constantly getting smacked HARD due to the fact that he's a sheer threat almost each and every time.

I love Ovechkin, and he IS a better player than Crosby, but lets not forget who outplayed who when the Caps/Pens played last year.

Ovechkin and Malkin and Getzlaf and Thornton and Kovalchuk all get the same treatment, do they whine?
