Statistically, Alexander Ovechkin because in the 2007-08 NHL season, Alex Ovechkin got 65 goals. That was Ovechkin's highest amount in his career. Sidney Crosby's highest was 51 in the 2009-10 season, which he tied with Steven Stamkos for the Rocket Richard Trophy (Most goals in an NHL season). Ovechkin also won the Calder Trophy (Rookie of the Year) in 2006, the same year Crosby was a rookie. Ovechkin has a Hart Trophy (Voted by coaches as best player) in 2007-08, along with the Lester B. Pearson Award (Voted by the players). He won two Rocket Richard trophies in his career. Crosby won a Stanley Cup, which is a team effort not individual, and only got the Hart and Rocket. Crosby won an Olympic gold medal for Canada in 2010, but that would also be considered a team effort.
Wayne Gretzky #99 is considered the best hockey player in history by most historians. If speaking of currently active hockey players, opinions differ, but include Sidney Crosby, Steven Stamkos, Alex Ovechkin among others.
I'd have to say it's because Sidney Crosby has been way more impressive in his career so far. You don't hear about Ovechkin a whole lot any more cause he isn't doing anything spectacular. Crosby on the other hand, became the youngest captain to win the the Stanley Cup, he has won a gold medal with Team Canada in the Olympics, and when he stays healthy, Crosby puts up more points than Ovechkin.
