Kopitar> Captain serious

Crosby, Malkin, Stamkos, Kopitar, Getzlaf, Toews.

Hockey robot is always ranked higher, because he is from Canada. Him nad Kopi are basically the same players. I give Kopitar the edge, because he acts like a living human.

When you see Kopitar shoot the puck and control the game as well as he did last night and in the 2012 and 2014 playoffs, it's hard to disagree with The Great One in his praise for Kopitar.

 

[Bee Sheriff]

Kopitar is 2nd, Bergeron in 3rd. But if we're only taking playoffs into account, then Toews is 3rd.

The Olympic resume is what sways everyone towards Toews. You can't fault Kopitar, he didn't pick his birth country.

The Olympic resume is what sways everyone towards Toews. You can't fault Kopitar, he didn't pick his birth country.

To his credit, Toews seems to show up and carry any team he's on when the game is at its biggest. Kopitar can, but he can also be frustratingly inconsistent on offense. That said, I'm happy to be wrong about this and have counter-evidence thrown in my face.

Toews showed for one run but was absent on others. And by absent, I don't mean a total zero, I mean had a bad run for him.

I thought it was his side burns. Can't fault Kopi for that either.
