Crosby, the Pittsburgh Penguins centre, is the best 200-foot player among the two, the better playmaker. Ovechkin, the Washington Capitals winger. is undoubtedly the better scorer, maybe the best ever by the time he’s done. He is more physical, too, with a rock-’em sock-’em quality that has made him the rare Russian that old-school Don Cherry could love.

I’m pretty sure when me and him retire, we’re going to have a couple of beers together and talk about the whole thing, what happened in the past 15, 16 years, I think it is great for a hockey for future generations to see that kind of comparison, that kind of battle between two of us, and the two organizations.”“Oh yeah,” Crosby said. “We’ve got a lot to catch up on.
“It’s been nuts really, the battle between the two, the hatred early on in their career,” Leafs winger Mitch Marner said. “A game I remember that I always had to watch was the Washington Capitals versus the Pittsburgh Penguins.
