ovie was NEVER better, he had a cpl out rageous seasons but green backstrom, semin on his same line...
Wrong...
Zubrus and Chris Clark for his rookie year..and won the ROY over guess who?
Zubrus and Semin for his 2nd year (also helped Chris Clark on the PP get to 30 goals....think about that. Chris #%+*#%# Clark
)
3rd year is when the team fired Glen Hanlon and brought in BB and REALLY opened things up for their offense. It was also Backstrom's rookie year and the year that Mike Green exploded)
There are probably 2 seasons at the MAX that Ovechkin was better than Crosby. Other than that, Crosby has been the superior player. You get no argument from me.
