By the way, Crosby had 2 goals and an assist in that game, including the game's first goal. And now again against Canada in the Olympics.

Crosby was invisible during the last two series in last season's playoffs. Why is he getting credit for what his team did? Look at the last two game 7's of the Stanley Cup finals. Where was Crosby? He was invisible. He did nothing. His team won those games for him, and yet he is given all the credit. Ovechkin had one bad game and he is a choker? That's a load of BS.

Crosby dominated against Washington and won the series against Philly himself. Malkin did outscore him against Carolina and Detroit, but look closely at the matchup. Babcock put Draper, Zetterberg, Cleary and Lidstrom on Crosby at all times, not on Malkin. That shows you who the Wings worried most about. Crosby drew the team's top 4 checkers to allow room for others. That's why he's the best in the game. He can score 100+ points a year and actually play at both ends of the ice. Oh, that and the fact that he has 2 career fights to Ovechkin's 0.

How is that any sort of excuse? When you are the best player on your team, you will be checked the hardest. Crosby couldn't overcome that, yet his team won, so all is forgiven and he is the better player? Give me a break. You're reasoning is pretty absurd.
