His work without the puck is shoddy, and there are too many times where he absolutely looks un engaged.


Crosby worked to fill the wholes in his game, that cat is never ever disengaged, and he plays a solid 200 foot game. Plus is generational offensively so Sid to me is Generational.


McDavid is not.


Fans saw that in its glory last night.
How hard has MacKinnon worked on his game since entering the League, and how much has he improved on his first few seasons? It's not just Crosby that has obsessed about making his game perfect; McDavid has several players from which to learn how to elevate.
