Also, let's stop comparing Ovi-Sid. It's really not even a contest, and it's even less of a contest when you compare #2 to #3.
In what reality is Ovi a better player than Crosby? I agree it's no contest, but i don't think any sane hockey fan would say ovechkin is a better player. Sure, Ovi can score goals as good as anyone who ever played, but he's 1 dimensional. I'll take the perennial 90-100 points Crosby has every time over Ovi's 40-50 goals.
I don't think Ovi is better. Like I said, Ovi is (IMO) the greatest goal scorer there has ever been, but Crosby is the better player and I don't think its particularly close.
As for the arguments against my opinion against Ovi being the greatest goal scorer ever, part of it is the eye test, the other part is just stats. I only figured out the numbers for 3 players (not enough time), Bossy, Gretzky, and Ovi:
Bossy: 0.762 goals/game. NHL averaged 7.501 goals/game during his career, so his average is 10.16% of goals scored during his career.
Gretzky: 0.601 goals/game. NHL average 6.66 goals/game = 9.02%
Ovechkin: 0.626 goal/game. NHL average 5.65 goals/game = 11.08%
If you remove Gretzky's last 8 seasons, his numbers go to 0.804, 6.96 = 11.55% However, that is removing seasons where Gretzky only scored 11 goals (48 games), 15 (62), 25 (82), 23 (82), 9 (70). I really don't see Ovechkin's goal scoring regressing to totals that consistently low. Throughout his career he has been a player that routinely scores 50 goals when no one scores 40. I don't think Ovechkin is as good of a goal scorer as he was 5 years ago and he still is the best. Maybe if I ran the numbers for more players I would be proven wrong, but he's incredible, and for my money he's pound for pound the best (most natural?) goal scorer ever.
