Your tallies are wrong.
McDavid has PPG finishes of 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3. All done consecutively. 9 seasons in the books and he has been top 2 for the last 8 seasons.
He also has raw point finishes of 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3. Outright.
Crosby has PPG finishes of 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5.
3 of his 6 top PPG finishes came during a 3 year stretch where he only played 99 out of a possible 212 games. Two of his top 3 finishes see him tied with another player. He has a lone 5th place finish past the age of 29 and has been a complete non-factor on any scoring race since.
He has raw point finishes of 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3. He was tied with another player for one each of his second and third place finishes.
It took Crosby’s first 12 seasons to collect 10 top 3 PPG finishes and 8 top 3 raw point finishes (again 2 of them being tied with another). He had 4 top 2 finishes and 2 wins.
McDavid is 9 for 9 with top 3 PPG finishes and has already matched the 8 top 3 raw point finishes with 7 of them being top 2 and 5 of them being wins. Outright.
Nothing close about this comparison and the chasm will only widen because there’s no sign McDavid will stop competing for Art Rosses any time soon. We can mew about Crosby missing some raw wins during that time period, but this is balanced out by the fact that McDavid doesn’t have his next 3 seasons factored in yet.
