Better to sit on the bench for most of Game 7 and watch your teammates seal the deal and make sure you get a Cup early.
If You were the Gm Crosby Ovechkin or Mcdavid

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

You’re pointing out ONE time that he was less visible by not scoring goals? Give me a break man. Are we talking about the same guy that’s gonna break the all time goals scored record?

lol better looking. There’s an important factor.
Just want to finish your logic for you.
Apparently there’s more than one way to contribute to scoring, and being prolific at a multitude of those ways is better than being prolific at one. See, Crosby winning more than Ovechkin.
You joke, but it really is unfortunately. Hockey is an entertainment business and people are more likely to engage with media of better looking individuals.
Look at the music industry, which also falls under the entertainment umbrella. A person's appearance has almost no bearing on how they sound in music / on the radio, yet 99% of singers/musicians are stupid attractive or have a unique appearance that sets them apart. Hockey is in the same ballpark. They want players they can throw on advertisements, plaster on walls, and give coherent interviews. It all boils down to making more money and attractive people generate more money in general.
OV-.60GPG
Mario .75GPG
Bossy .76GPG
After this season OV will only need about 4+ more seasons to have more total points than Gretzky has assists.
Out of the 3, it's McDavid for sure if your starting a franchise, Crosby second and OV a distant, I mean distant third.
Crosby scores more points though.
And Mario leads Bossy if you include the playoffs.
When it comes to crosby vs ovechkin tge stats make it very simple
Crosby has 63 more points in 138 less gp in the reg season.
Crosby has 201 points in 180 po games and ovechkin has 141 in 151.
Internationally
Crosby has 52 points in 41 games games as a senior and ovechkin has 79 points in 106 gp.
So in total nhl career reg+playoff crosby has 123 more points in 109 less games played. Its honestly not even close

If secondary assists were anywhere near as valuable as goals, you might have a point.

Oh man, I hope you stay consistent with your reasoning when McDavid nets his 2000th point.
Missed the part where crosby n mcdavid started their careers at the same time

If you were actually consistent in your goals means more argument you'd have a point but you aren't and you don't.
There is no secret that Ovi has been "cheating for goals" for quite some time now so spare us the "it's all about goals argument" it's about as weak as your Canadian bias crpa you peddle from time to time.
Actually, whether or not goals are more important - on average - than secondary assists does NOT depend on Midnight Judges's consistency on a hockey discussion forum.
Regardless, I am quite consistent on this.
Enough people have seen your goals argument over the years, it's player specific and thus will be called out.
It's not player specific.
Goals are - on average - worth more than secondary assists, or even assists in general (there are approximately 1.72 assists for every goal).
Neither Crosby or Lemieux were "complete players." Both are generationally bad at defense and Lemieux played a little over a half a career.
Your Crosby being "generationally bad at defense" is probably a worse take than your previous one above, I'll give you that.
Anyway for the usrpse of this thread crosby has the best overall game of the 3 and Ovi is lagging very far behind in that metric.
Go ahead spew out some cherry picked stats, people watch the 2 guys play and it's not even close.
Sidney Crosby is generationally bad at defense. In fact Sidney Crosby leads all forwards in 5v5 on-ice goals AGAINST over the past 3 seasons:
I realize this is jarring to anyone who lives in a country where they are constantly told Crosby prevents lots of goals against. Obviously sheer repetition of lies works as a political tactic.
