Ovechkin might be one of the best goal scorers ever, but he isn't a winner. He has never made it past the 2nd round in 9 tries and with the teams Washington has had. If we want a Cup Ovechkin isn't the player I would add.

People always point to Crosby as a guy that can get his team to the Cup while Ovechkin can't. It seems a little simplistic as hockey is such a team game. I always offer this one "what if" - What if the Caps had drafted Ovechkin and Malkin and Pittsburgh had Crosby, do the Caps win a cup?
I figure they would have, if not gone to the finals a couple times and Ovechkin wouldn't be known as a guy that can't get his team into the finals.
Crosby's always been known as a franchise centre that can singlehandedly carry a team while playing on a team with essentially two franchise centres.
