Sidney Crosby vs. Corey Perry

This is a Canadian website, so I'm not even going to bother explaining what I'm talking about here.
Memorial Cup Final is about to start... one of the best matchups I've seen in years as far as teams go. This whole tourney has almost made up for the lack of NHL playoffs, the games have been INSANE, especially the first two (better than any international play this year, that's for damn sure). I have to call London to win, as I think most people would because of depth... but between Perry and Crosby, who would YOU rather have?
I'd take Perry right now. He's more well rounded and makes the rest of his team play that much better, especially on the PP... but rarely do I seem to see Corey Perry on the ice for chances against. Crosby's really offensively oriented and seems to focus on his own success, because when he succeeds the team seems to follow suit. That said, Crosby's waaaay more valuable to his team; London wouldn't be half the team it is without Perry but at least they'd still be competitive. Obvioulsy a can't-lose scenario no matter who you took, but if I had the choice I'd still rather have Perry playing for me. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I'm not sure he's better then Sidney. He's been having a crazy good year, and he'll definitly do well against Rimouski, but I think that Sidney will come out strong. And everybody else that's been saying that has some connection to the London team.

But who knows. Perry is definitly a more solid overall player, but if you're a forward with a sick D, you can very well play like crosby and dominate on O. I'm excited to see how they'll match up.

That was fucking textbook... what a great goal from Danny Fritsche. His first one was bullshit but that play was great. Pretty clear why London should win this game... notice who was on the PK breaking up the pass from Crosby earlier... #94.

I had London too, along with pretty much everyone else.
I'd take Crosby... hell, he's got his own section dedicated to him on tsn.ca: "The Crosby Show".

- managed to still lead the tourney in points despite being on a worse team
... Yeah, he could play on my team... I guess.
