Crosby doesn’t look a day older from when he was drafted.

[yinzer]

We are so spoiled to get to live in a time to watch 2 of the greatest players of all time

[nnn]

the transition/aging of their faces is the best

[ronninportades]

Looking at Crosby's face...thinking..."and what changed?"

[frederickorcutt]

Woooowwww! I remember Crosby breaking his leg against the B's. Dude would have been an even bigger monster of a player if he didn't suffer the injuries. I love Bergy but when I saw how higher Crosby's stats were I was really impressed!

[jakobfinney]

1347 for ovechkin vs 1190 for crosby games played is the real standout here

[justinisaacs]

Just appreciating that we got to watch generational talents for so many years... and being thankful we've got so much more coming. Hockey is in a great place right now.

[DanielJTeichroew]

The fact that Crosby was able to close out a gap in points that big is nuts, considering the time he missed with injuries

[lakesidehog]

Just be thankful that we all got to be alive and watch these two become two of the top 5 players of all time… so cool… have an awesome day peeps…🥃

[mattwebb]

Crosby missed considerable time with his neck injury.

[deeg]

Ovy is a great player and one of the greatest goal scorers ever but Sid is another level amongst the true all round greats

[jeffreyfitzsimmons]

Please show a similar one with Gretzky v Lemieux. Most people will be shocked because they forget or don't know that when Lemieux retired for the 2nd time, he was THE ONLY PLAYER IN HISTORY TO AVERAGE 2 POINTS PER GAME. Additionally, he didn't have 2 HOF linemates.

[coastaku]

They're so evenly matched, it's amazing!

[mikeb.]

Ovechkin's durability is incredible!

[thataintyourcheese]

Just think about how Crosby missed all that time with injuries. Makes it more impressive for Crosby. But Ovi is the ultimate Goal Scorer

[JunkBondTrader]

Crosby did this with a great roster for many years, where Ovi was by far the dominate player on his team for many years. Ovi had less players to share points and ice time with, and thus, IMO has an advantage. Both amazing players, but if I'm a GM, I'm taking prime Sid over prime Ovi any day.

[BrooksBenov-rb]

Are we talking about goals for the number? Because if we are it’s not right, Ovechkin has 840 goals, And Crosby has 582 goals. So, what is the number we’re talking about.

[jamarwarren]

Ovi has a whole nhl season over Crosby drafted the year prior w/ geno

[morrisalanisette]

I'm an Ovi fan and I just assumed crosbey had more points cuz ovi is more of a goal scorer. it is true crosby has played a lot less games too. overall ovi is still my guy but i like how the rivalry is now lighthearted and can just appreciate both of them

[bryanb]

Ovie - 1496
Crosby - 1521 - in over 200 less games
