Sujet: Who is better
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>malkin is for sure one of the most underrated players EVER. look no further than the NHLs garbage top-100 list. just hillarious. it's so bad they should update it every 10 years and Geno should be the first name on the list.

Sid has become under-appreciated a bit the last couple years...with the early playoff exits. it's not his fault, but when a team underperforms it starts with the leaders needing to do more...</div></div>

see me underrated players dont get ranked in the top 5 in their positions. Players like Malkin Backstrom Slavin .... you can find examples on every team are completely underrated and people tend to forget about them bc the NHL doesn't mention them ever.. or people make up these false narratives about them. Remember ovechkin "never showed up" till he won a cup... his playoffs stats said other wise but that was the narrative.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>Malkin has been the best #2C in the league his whole career basically.

<a href="/users/Capitalfail67" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Capitalfail67</a>

I would concur tha,t for sure, at points or in certain seasons, Geno has been better than Sid. this year for sure. last year I wouldn't say that bc Geno had absolutely a down year by his own admission.</div></div>


Crosby vs Malkin last 2 year

120gp....51g 96a 147points p/60 3.543.......xGF% 54.76

Malkin

123gp.....46g 100a 146 points p/60 3.724......xGF% 54.82

this includes Malkins down year. So when i said Malkin has been better the last 2 years its not that crazy.... its kind of accurate. People will say its not even close bc of false narratives but stats speak volumes... more than silly YouTube videos

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NoWah49</b></div><div>left easily. although with that said, when Malkin is on fire he's the best player in the league. he's just wildly inconsistent and that is his downfall</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>similar to what he said. Sidney Crosby is a generational centre. Gretzky, lemiuex, Crosby, McDavid. period. I don't put anyone else in that very special category. Evgeni Malkin is the next tier of Hall of fame centres who will have great careers, MVP seasons, scoring titles, etc.

now I will say this. Sid has amazing work ethic and could prob put up 50 pts till he's 50 and have over a 50% corsi. he commits defensively and makes line mates better.

Geno I think has had more raw talent than Sid. he's has a size advantage and can push people around while Sid holds them off. he has a better slap shot. when he's on, he can STILL take over a game. we saw it this year.

Sid brings it every game as much as he can. consistency. I don't know I've ever seen him take over a game like Geno. he has had amazing games but it's not like making flashy plays like geno. it's just a back check to steal a puck, a quick up to start a rush the other way, smart passes creating offense, always doing the little things to elevate his team.

IF there are 10 seconds left in a game and you are down 1, I want geno with the puck to make something happen. namely, a goal.

if there is 1 minute left in the game, and you're protecting a lead, I want Sid on the ice.

they are both elite talents for sure.
Geno has the edge in some categories, but it's indisputable that Sid is the better overall player.

Geno is an elite centre who can dominate at times.
Sid is a generational centre who always plays at a high level but doesn't really have a "beast mode" like Geno.

I hope that explanation was clearer than mud.</div></div>

To be clear I told him that in the last 2 years Malkin has been better than Crosby. He referred to Malkin as a 2c. I’ve been posting stats on to back my opinion he keeps posting YouTube videos lol

Better question. Who is more underrated Malkin or Crosby ?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyconnor97</b></div><div>I don't think Corsby vs malkin is even a debate, and I would choose Hedman (but Josi was better this year)</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Clearly Hedman &amp; Crosby.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Left. Not close.</div></div>

Last 2 years it’s actually fairly close.

Crosby vs Malkin last 2 year

120gp....51g 96a 147points p/60 3.543.......xGF% 54.76

Malkin

123gp.....46g 100a 146 points p/60 3.724......xGF% 54.82


Crosby is the easy answer and probably had the better career but recently Malkin is just as good if not better.


Hedman

53.27CF%...53.51FF%......55.91xGF% 55points

Josi

53.40CF%......54.10FF%.....62.18xGF% 65 points

“Clearly”

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsFan9</b></div><div>Great job pulling out some stats, I'm very impressed

Tell me.... can Malkin do this?
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqrMeXTuz7U" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqrMeXTuz7U</a>

I think not. If you're actually seriously claiming that Malkin is better than Crosby, you should look farther than stats.


Yes, I know that the Norris is an offensive defenceman award...that's why Hedman has only won it once
You're once again seriously claiming that Josi is better than Hedman. I love Josi as a player. I really do. But Hedman is on another level.

If you still think I'm an uneducated imbecile, I'll let this dude do me explaining: <a href="https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/sports/simmons-bolts-hedman-is-the-best-with-or-without-norris-trophy-500041/" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.thechronicleherald.ca/sports/simmons-bolts-hedman-is-the-best-with-or-without-norris-trophy-500041/</a></div></div>

Let some else explain bc you don’t know how lol I love it. I’m also impressed with all the stats you use to support you claims. So pointless. Lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HabsFan9</b></div><div>Yeah, I know what underrated means. It means not getting thr attention/awards you deserve. And Hedman is the best defenceman in the NHL. Points don't mean everything nowadays. Josi and Carlson, but Carlson especially, only really get recognized for their points. Hedman does everything

smh Malkin has not been better than Crosby. Geno is underrated, but I think his time has passed and he is merely an exceptional 2C now, while Crosby is the best player in the league IMO</div></div>

lmfao... Norris is an offensive defenseman award.....welcome to the NHL.

Crosby last 2 year

120gp....51g 96a 147points p/60 3.543.......xGF% 54.76

Malkin (merely a 2c but sid is the best player in the NHL lol )

123gp.....46g 100a 146 points p/60 3.724......xGF% 54.82


Hedman

53.27CF%...53.51FF%......55.91xGF% 55points

Josi

53.40CF%......54.10FF%.....62.18xGF% 65 points


your intelligence is really showing...... smh.

sid and Geno literally have almost identical stats .... Malkin is way way way more underrated and you proved my point for me :)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>Did I say you said Guentzel wasn't good? No. I said you said hes only a 40 goal scorer because of Crosby. Like I said, you diminish their wingers. Simon is awful. And look what happened in Buffalo with Sheary. He had his 2nd highest point season in Buffalo. Did crosby and malkin help him in Buffalo too? And you brought up Kunitz. Did they help him score 20+ when he played in Anaheim? And you do realize rust played with malkin a lot last year too, and wasn't a ppg player? Its stupid you rule out the fact he just had an outlier of a year. Im not saying crosby and malkin dont boost stats, but people like you constantly pick and choose when to use that logic. Again, its stupid and unreliable. You can use that logic with so many players. One being Tom Wilson</div></div>

Quote me where I said this please? You mean a 1st round pick that had amazing juniors stats that got pinned on the 4th line bc the capitals refused to let him play a single game in the the AHL to develop him? Yeah that sounds like what happened with Simon. Lmfao rust is a solid 2 way center but when he was placed on the line w Malkin and rust he scored at an elite level. Makes a a massive difference. Saying players score more playing w Crosby / Malkin isn’t dump or unreliable it’s factual 9/10. Look at Kas playing w Mcdavid. Or look at RNH. Point totals when he plays wing w elite talent compared to when he had to center his own line. It’s not just Pittsburgh it happens everywhere. Look at Marners totals w Tavares and without.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>They can't afford Domi. He signed 5.3 million, they didn't have cap for that.



To be fair to Simon, he's not a terrible player. He just has a god awful shot.
I mean he understands the game. He knew where to be on the ice, he knew how to be strong on the puck, hell he knew how to play defense.
He just can't shoot for ****.
If he ever fixed his shot, he'd be a really decent player. But he can't hit the broad side of a barn with his shot so he could never capitalize on the wide open nets he would put himself in position to have.

Which is kind of my worry with Kap, he's another guy with a shot that ain't worth ****.
900mph down the ice to slam the puck into the back wall. It's his go to move.
If that continues, don't expect 25 goals or whatever. But that's why I'm kind of glad they most likely want him to be the glue.</div></div>

In my defense I did say he had defensive upside.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>No, I fully understand your point. It's just extremely stupid and unreliable. You even said Guentzel is a 40 goal scorer because of Crosby. Well why hasn't anyone else scored that many with sid? Surely it shouldn't matter about offensive skill because they play with crosby. You always give credit to crosby and malkin, and try and diminish their wingers</div></div>

Guentzel has a a high hockey IQ. HE’S also put up amazing numbers wMalkin. “Diminish their wingers” I never said Guentzel isnt good. You are just making up moronic opinions in your head. Lmfao. Simon is a plug. Sheary is a plug. Both had great numbers bc of Sid and Malkin. Use your brain this is common sense lol can’t be this thick. Rust isn’t a ppg winger but add him to Malkin line what do you get? Have a good day lmfao

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeyfanatic05</b></div><div>So why is it when theres a winger that plays with crosby, and that winger scores points, its because of crosby. But when a winger doesnt put up points, he sucks?</div></div>

Okay since you struggle to follow my point I’ll dumb it down. Simon is a 4th line player MAYBE on some NHL rosters that was able to score at a 30 point pace while on Crosby / Malkin wing. I doubt he’s able to score 10 point or make the Flames roster next year. Yeah he’s a terrible player offensively. Like I said previously his value is on the defensive side of the puck. Playing with elite center will improve a players stats .... common sense shouldn’t be this hard to understand

Kessel didn’t put up points w Sid and I didn’t say he sucks ? Sheary Simon Kunitz PD are all great examples of bottom 6 players that look like top liners with Sid
