I'll have to agree but only at the moment.
I still think OV's still a premiere player but in all fairness, things look like a mess over at the Washington camp, and looks to get worse season after season. Backstrom was under fire last year... Semin continues this year, Green, the grinder dramas, the coaching power struggle (or so the media says it is).
Hat's off to Sidney though but considering how well the team kept it together without Malkin @ times and the stretch w/o Crosby, looks like the Pittsburgh camp is a tight camp under Bylsma. Bear in mind, Pittsburgh didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on Therien (in lieu of Bylsma) a season after the SCF loss. Pittsburgh was looking at a downward spiral as well until the brass decided to make that coaching change.
Anyways, definitely Crosby > OV for now, but it'd be nice to see WSH correct their ship.
