Dude, I'm talking NHL 12. Don't tell me they judged yzerman's rating on his play in the 2012-2011 season. This may seem like news to you but he's retired pal.
Lemieux and grestsky are tied at 97, and nobody's ever been to 97 or higher before them, so that's false too.
They judged him based on his last season you really are an idiot I know yzermans retired he was my fav player and by the way when I play NHL with yzerman versus Crosby I hit him once and he leaves the ice injured and I'm just like face palm what a ******* *****
So you say video games don't matter, and then say because Crosby was injured in a video game he's a wimp in real life? I'll go injure yzerman with chara's slapshot tomorrow and make the same excuse ok?
You both are off topic. Go back to the original question. Yzerman is the best captain of all time in my opinion. I could be being biased because I've watched the Wings all my life. It's an arguable statement, obviously. But the one thing that Yzerman has over Crosby is a entire career with multiple Stanley Cups and stats to prove himself. I don't care what a video game says, only real life. That being said, one day Crosby could surpass the accomplishments that some of the greats have done. He has the skills and the team to do so. But until then he isn't the best of all time. Gretzky, Lemieux, others.. Yeah they can be thrown in the mix as well. I like to think if Yzerman as the best because he spend his entire career with the Wings, start to finish he lead them. Anyway,
I am not blind, jealous, I have watched Crosby play, and while he is a great player, no he can't take a hit and I really don't like his snobbish attitude. He is one of the best nowadays, I agree, but his attitude is rotten because he knows he is one of the best. When you compare that attitude to great players nowadays like Datsyuk, Zetterberg, the Sedins, etc. Crosby's attitude really shows him to be a snob and a baby. but he is a good player. I am biased to the Wings being a diehard Red Wings fan! Who do ya think will be the next captain? And do you think they will lead the Wings to greatness like Yzerman or Lidstrom did?
If he couldn't take a hit he wouldn't have made it past the AHL. His attitude? I have no idea what you're talking about when you have kronwall and you're head coach complains about every call. As for the next captain, I think it will probably be datsyuk.
Next captain will be zetterberg or kronwall. And btw, Crosby never played in the AHL. He played in a junior league and was drafted at 18 up to the NHL. Which means he never took a real hit until he was in the NHL. In conclusion that's why he wasn't injured so much until the NHL. Your arguments are invalid. Not even an expert analysis would compare Crosby to the greats yet. He simply hasn't done enough.
I wasn't comparing Crosby's career to theirs, I'm saying as Crosby is playing now, if he keeps it up he will be better than them. I've been a pens fan my whole life, I know he wasn't in the AHL. It would be stupid to even put him there. I'm saying if he couldn't take a hit they would've put him there.
