When people look back on Crosby's career they'll call it the Crosby era, not the Toews era.. When people look back they'll know Crosby was the best of his time. There will be a couple sidenotes aka Toews, Ovi, Malkin, possibly McDavid, but Sid will be the man. It's really the dumbest thing I've seen some of you guys argue.. Really?? Toews better than Crosby??? I'll never think of you's as knowledgable hockey fans, just sheep who flock around whoever is creating buzz.. Make no mistake, barring some kind of catastrophic meltdown, Crosby reigns.

So let me get this straight. We have a different view from you so we don't know what we are talking about. Might be time to get off your pedestal you think your on. Yes it will be the crosby Era because he has be constantly shoved down our throat by the NHL. Crosby has been constantly. dropping in playoff performacne since they won the cup and has actually disappeared off the score sheet when his team has needed him to step up. He's a highly skilled player but I rather take a winner in toews who has demonstrated great leadership qualities.

Still gotta score, genius.

Really I notice how those goals get counted on the score sheet.

Great news guys. I have decided on Memories Varadero. Just need to decide Sept or Oct. And which week.

Why wasn't team Canada his? Why was Crosby captain? If you are going to pick something that makes Toews stand out over Crosby, then pick something that he's better at. There's no reason to think Toews is a better leader than Sid. None.

They keep track of SO%... What difference does it make? When the puck gets past the red line the player scored.

Yeah he was captain but wasn't the real leader of the team just because he had a piece of fabric sewn on his jersey doesnot necessarily mean he was the leader.

Ur not very bright are ya?

Yeah because scoring in a game and scoring in a glorified skill competition is the same thing. Also can't win the shoot out if you let in more goals then the other goalie so maybe it's the goalie who really wins it.

Funny poop.

Sorry explain how this magical fabric changes everything please.

I'm not sure what the conversation is in here but are we suggesting Team Canada only had one leader and that's the guy with the C on his jersey?

Fo realz yo?

Not even remotely

I think Crosby is the best player in the world, Yeti thinks it's Toews. Yeti pointed to Toews leadership as to why he's better, and I argued that you can't necessarily say that because Sid is also a good leader. He was captain of Team Canada.

The proof is in the pudding.

Crosby asked Toews for his consent to be captain. Crosby said he recognized Toews as the more successful of the two.

Crosby didn't deserve the captaincy for team Canada he got because of his name. Shouldon't a leader lead on the ice? Which he didn't even after having his line mate brought so he could be comfortable.

Uuummm every team only has one captain

It's actually not.

Do we have any proof of this?

From the article:

"Everybody knows Sidney is the guy," said Toews. "I'm just honored to be in the conversation for the captaincy. One way or the other, I'm excited to accept a role like that. If it's more of a leadership role, I'm excited for the challenge."

Crosby just asks him to be a modest Canadian.. He never said Toews is more successful, he just said he won 2 cups.

Ha ha ha nice excuse. You know what crosby is thinking now.

- Yeti1181

Because of his name? Yeah 769 points in 550 NHL games also all happened because of his name. Gimme a break. Crosby is the best offensive player in the game. It's not even debatable.
