As a Capitals fan, I can confirm that Sidney Crosby is a better overall hockey player than Alexander Ovechkin. Ovechkin is the best goal scorer of all time, but he's not as complete of a hockey player as Sidney Crosby. He still might be a top 10 player of all time, but Crosby might even be top 5. It's certainly nothing to be ashamed of to "only" be a borderline top 10 all time player and the best goal scorer ever.
Depends how Leon ages because Malkin couldn't stay healthy past 30, give me Malkin though he was arguably as good as Crosby in their primes, nobody could say that for Drai even in his Hart year.
Demidov and Mitchkov can't be really accurately compared until like 3 or 4 years down the line just due to their age difference. It'll be interesting to look at their KHL totals at the end of the season at least.
Boldy: 0.84 points per game. Caufield: 0.73 points per game. Maccelli: 0.66 points per game Caufield is a lot more comparable to Maccelli (a 4th round pick in the same draft year) than he is to Boldy, who is big, mean, and good defensively.
As a Habs fan I have Demidov>Michkov for the same reasons as definitely Boldy>Caufield...I love Cole but Boldy is better all around and better physically, exact same reasons I say Demidov>Michkov...Its not bias its simply mine and many others thinking, you can swap out the players but it stays the same.
It’s totally bias lol. People forget Michkov rivaled bedard at one point. Also the whole debate is just stupid because to the people who have a strong stance on the debate probably have never even watched a full game with either of them in it.
Can you give me advice on my fantasy hockey team? Kaprizov-Reinhart-Pastrnak Kane-Horvat-Marchesult Barzal, ek, fantilli, Nelson McAvoy-Dahlin Pitrangelo-Morrisey Markstrom Allen
Hi Mike! I have been following you for the past half year and I just wanted to take the time to tell you that you've improved as a content creator as time has passed. I think you hav interesting topics in your videos with solid breakdown. Greetings from Sweden!
According to evolving-hockey's GSAx stat, Lundqvist's 4 year peak was better than than Carey's by quite a bit. Lundqvist 169 vs Carey 85. Both were incredible, but Lundqvist I feel is underrated outside of the NY area and is maybe the best goaltender of the 21st century so far.
To be quite honest with the Demidov vs Michkov. Michkov was loaned to Sochi by SKA, giving him the opportunity to play in the KHL. SKA wouldn’t loan out Demidov so he wasn’t able to have the same opportunity. More of a “what if” moment but still
Yeah and michkov did not make the ska team. Demidov did, but he is playing around 12-13 minutes a night right now without much powerplay. I watched all his shift last game and demidov was insane. 1 goal, 1 post, 1 goal called back, created a bunch of plays that were good scoring chances and was really decent overall on forecheck and defensive play. It's just one game but I love this player !
For Caufield Boldy. Im taking Caufield. At least for my Habs. I think we need a better offensive GOAL scorer. Because outside of him. Its just really Laine for elite goal scorers. However. If were talking whos better, Caufield is a better goal scorer and probably will have more points. However Boldy will be pretty close and be way more physical and better defensively
I think Demidov is more skilled then Michkov offensively with his hands, dekes, passing. And I think he has a higher celling then Michkov. However I think Michkov has a better floor then Demidov and will be a 100% better goal scorer. Consisently top 3 rocket in his prime and getting consisently high Goals. I personally would rather Michkov. But either way your not wrong
I don't give a shit how many individual awards Ovi wins, he could win another 10 rockets and it still wouldn't make a difference, Crosby is by far the better player, all around. Period.
