I don't understand, "in terms of sheer skill", what sheer skill was he talking about? McDavid is fast, and he is.....fast. What other skills does he possess that are clearly better than Crosby?  |
I am fairly certain that Taylor believes McDavid does virtually everything just as well—if not better than Crosby, but that Crosby edges him out by being more "gritty," or "tenacious," or he just flat out works harder.
It is an embarrassing insult to how great Crosby is at just about everything—most particularly, it undersells his incredible in-game anticipation, and his exceptional on-ice vision. McDavid skates extremely fast and he has really good hands that can keep up with his feet, but that is pretty much as deep as the well goes.
