Mario Lemiux
i think this is his first time
I would say the best player in the NHL is Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins. While Crosby has less MVP awards Crosby has two things Ovechkin has never came close to gettin a Stanley Cup ring and an Olympic gold medal. At the age of 15 people were already calling him the next Wayne Gretzky, saying no matter where he goes in the NHL that team will become successful. That was a true statement. The 2005 draft was nicknamed the Sidney Crosby Sweepstakes, the Pittsburgh Penguins won that sweepstakes. Obtaining the #1 overall draft pick. Before drafting Sidney Crosby the Penguins were considered one of the leagues worst teams. Crosby changed that. In his 2nd the Penguins reached the playoffs for the first time in 5 years. Crosby was also awarded the MVP award that year. The next year Crosby lead the Penguins to their first Stanley Cup Finals since 1992 losing in 6 games to the Detroit Red Wings. That wouldn't stop Crosby from trying to obtain his ultimate goal of winning the Stanley Cup. The Next year he was back in the finals and this time losing wasn't an option. The Penguins beat the Red Wings in 7 games. The next year Crosby competed in the Olympics for Canada hoping to win the gold medal at home in Canada. Canada reached the gold medal game to play the red hot US team. The game ended with a game winning overtime goal scored by none other than Sidney Crosby. Sidney Crosby has so many accomplishments at such a young age (23) that I have no Idea how anyone does not consider him the best player in the NHL.

Sidney Crosby didn't play in the OHL, but was in the QMJHL (Quebec Major Junior Hockey League) for 2 years. He played for the Rimouski Oceanic, in Rimouski. He was there for 2003-2004 and 2004-2005, before being drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
He's not the best player EVER but he's really close to becoming one of the best players ever. There were many NHL players before Crosby that were better than him, Crosby can play on that level
Yes, for approx. 26 games in the 2005-2006 season before Lemieux retired.
Im pretty sure he is because he wears a cross sometimes and does the prayer like some catholics do Sidney Crosby was a Catholic but he has sold out Jesus for Gabriela Sten and is in the process of his conversion to Judaism.

he did not play in the OHl, it was in the QMJHL for the Rimouski Oceanic. hey boys. Crosby didn't play in the QM...whatever you said using every letter of the aplhabet. He played in the NBA for 2 and a half years before getting signed by Usher on youtube. Learning he had a voice of an angel he took on a singing career. It has come to my attention lately that everyone thinks he is in the NHL and just recently had a 26 game point streak?... clearly these people don't follow the NBA or listen to music because Crosby doesn't play in the NHL.

There was no Pittsburgh Penguins till 1967.
