Replying to 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?
