Determining which of these two players is better would involve a debate that would likely result in about half of the NHL community favoring Crosby and half of the NHL betting community favoring Ovechkin. Nevertheless, the two players do have slightly different strengths, which NHL analysts must take into consideration when handicapping the hockey odds for their respective teams.
