Who's More Impressive To You: 2024-2025 Ovechkin Or Recent Crosby?

[DitchMarner]

There hasn't been a good old Crosby/Ovechkin poll in a while. Crosby dominated last season, but Ovechkin is having his best and most impressive season in a while. How impressive has he been relative to recent Crosby?

Keep in mind that impressive doesn't necessarily mean better. It's highly subjective.

You can consider lack of team support, age, overcoming injuries, apparent value to team etc.

What?

It's a poll asking if Ovechkin has been more impressive to voters than Crosby from one, two or three of the last three seasons Crosby has had.

The last time Crosby had a top 10 point, goal or assist finish was 10th in points in the abridged 2020-21 season. He hasn't had any team success in a while either. 2018-19 (age 31) was his last season where he was really "great". There's really nothing overly standout about his late career other than just consistency.

What Ovechkin is doing this year is other-worldly, so my vote goes to him this year. The previous two seasons have been a very clear edge to Sid.

The last time Crosby had a top 10 point, goal or assist finish was 10th in points in the abridged 2020-21 season.

The guy has been a top 10 scoring in points over the last 3 season combined. That is very impressive for a guy in his mid-to-late 30s. Similar PPG to Gretzky at the same age, albeit in a higher scoring era.
