From SI.com’s Michael Farber:
The topic of the day, class, is which is more surprising: Sidney Crosby leading Alexander Ovechkin in goals or Ovechkin leading Crosby in assists?
(You there, in the back of the class. Stop smirking! If you are Ovie-ed out or can’t abide another word about the erstwhile Sid the Kid—gracious, he’s 22 and totally legal, so banish that Kid stuff—pack up your books and go home. They are the two most dynamic and significant players of the post-lockout generation. You couldn’t ignore Jack and Arnie if you came to golf in the 1960s or Magic, Bird and MJ if you studied basketball in the 1980s. Same deal with these guys.)
Now, where were we? Yes, are you more stunned that a brilliant playmaker like Crosby has one more goal (37, albeit in eight more games) than Ovechkin or that he has seven fewer assists than Ovechkin’s 41?
