“The answer to the question of who is better, Crosby or Ovechkin, in Pittsburgh and Canada is different than in Washington and Russia.
Both guys are still awesome. I think they will both play forever. Now is not the time to be friends. There are still more matches to come.
Ovechkin is probably the best in history in terms of goals. Crosby is without a doubt the best player of all time,” Malkin was quoted as saying by The Athletic.
Ovechkin has been playing in the National Hockey League since 2005. During this time, the forward played 1,364 matches in which he scored 827 goals, issued 670 assists and scored a total of 1,497 points with a utility indicator overall “+69”. Crosby entered the NHL the same year as the Washington forward, in 2005. During this period, the Canadian forward participated in 1,209 regular championship games, recording 1,525 (563+962) points.
