It took long enough, but it seems the NBC commentators and so-called "experts" have finally caught on to the fact that Alexander Ovechkin is the best player in hockey. And even then, they still gave lip-service to the fact that Sidney Crosby is somehow "still the face of the NHL." Why, I can't imagine.
The simple fact is, Ovechkin is more exciting, and has better numbers. Crosby seemed to realize that even the announcers beholden to the marketing strategies of this "New NHL" were turning on him on Sunday. His reaction? He retaliated against Ovechkin when he got hit, and started running his mouth. The only surprising part about his little all-too-common tantrum was that he didn't try to punch Ovechkin in the nuts.
Is this what the NHL wants? A petulant child who has no business being the captain of the SS Minnow, much less an NHL team, as the face and voice of the league?
In any case, the point was driven home when Crosby was running his mouth, Ovechkin just looked at him and waved bye-bye.

Mike Milbury has always been on the Ovechkin train and has always considered Crosby a little b*tch. It's just NBC now censors everything the man does after his Tim Connolly rant a few months back because the pigs at NBC don't want to step on any of Gary Retard's toes. You got to hear the man on NESN - he is phenomenal.
