I honestly think he’s overrated. Good yes but next coming of Wayne no way.

Those are two very different distinctions. I dont think hes overrated in this generation, hes the best player of his time and for that legacy to really be solidified, he needs to win a cup. He has already proven he will never be as good, or as dominant as Gretz, no one will be.

A better comparison IMO would be Sid. I dont feel he is as good in his prime, as Crosby was in his, as an overall player. Speed, skill, point production wise, hes better, but overall dominant night in night out, ill take Sid.

Ironically i think Malkin is the more well rounded overall tbh.

The least consistent though. Hes had some down seasons, some injury plagued. That year thought Crosby went down and Malkin won the Hart, showed he had a beast mode in him.

In the sense that Malkin can do it all. Pp & Pk. I remember the first few years with Crosby HE NEVER killed penalties. (He eventually started to.) Malkin did from the start i believe though.

Yeah its true, Malkin as the 2C had to because at that time, that coach did not want Crosby to block a shot and get hurt. Malkin was good at it from the start, no denying that. But Crosby still had a defensive game, even though he was offensive as per the coach. That is a big reason those 2 dominated teams on both sides of the puck!

I remember watching one game where Crosby was literally on ice on pk to win the draw then gtf off. 😂😂

I think Malkin is more a complete package. If i wanted a goal scorer though easily Crosby over Malkin no doubt. (I think i just repeated myself here. My bad.)
