I know we ARE ALL TIRED of seeing a Crosby vs Ovechkin debate. So I%26#039;m changing it up abit
I will give 3 questions and answer them with who is better and why
1.Anze Kopitar vs Zach Parise
2.Patrick Kane vs Martin St.Louis
3.Ilya Kovalchuk vs Marian Gaborik|||1) Anze Kopitar: Zach Parise is a speedy winger who possesses an extremely accurate shot. He%26#039;s good on the rush, can play the PP solidly. But Anze Kopitar not only has a great shot and awareness, but he also has that extra size and toughness that Parise lacks. He%26#039;s more two-way than Parise.
2) Martin St. Louis: Patrick Kane has great speed, can out run almost any defender. Passing ability is stellar although inconsistent at times. Kane doesn%26#039;t have good puck control against the boards. But St. Louis has the experience, the better offensive awareness, and is a little tougher than Kane. He%26#039;s got the wheels, the shot, the passing ability and the know-how.
3) Ilya Kovalchuk: Marian Gaborik is speedy, agile, can make beautiful passes or find the tiniest holes through traffic. He%26#039;s got a track record of being injury prone though. Kovalchuk is big, tough to take the puck off of, and has an incredibly deadly slap shot. He can be used both on the wing and on the blue line during PP%26#039;s. He%26#039;s a good penalty killer as well. More of a two way forward than Gaborik.
More than ever these days, coaches need as many versatile players as possible to play through many tough situations and frequently so.|||1. Parise. In the crunch, I think Parise can be more effective with handling the pressure than Kopitar.
2. Kane. He%26#039;s young and full of confidence. The dude is going nowhere but up.
3. Battle of the heartless here...It%26#039;s a toss up and my coin said Kovalchuk.|||1. Kopitar cuz he gud hockey irl.
2. St.Louis cuz kane looks like a panzy with his mullet via huge fgt
3. Gaborik cuz Kovalchuk chokes in the playoffs|||1) Kopitar - I need a reason to like LA. Not only that he kept me alive in fantasy hockey last season.
2) St. Louis. Homer pick. I can%26#039;t help it....He has heart...but really this pick is homer more than anything else.
3) Kovalchuk. He is a far better player.|||Parise. More clutch, and doesn%26#039;t really NEED to have good teammates to play well. Remember when Ryan Smyth got injured? Kopitar crashed and burned.
Kane. Obvious.
Gaborik, because Kovalchuk is as useful on the bench as he is on the ice during the playoffs.|||1. Zach Parise: He has tremendous skill and is a huge asset to every team he plays for. Just look at his performance during the Olympics, he was stellar.
2. Patrick Kane: He%26#039;s already proved that he is a great player, and he%26#039;s still very young. He can only improve with age, and he shows great confidence on the ice.
3. Ilya Kovalchuk: Simply put, he%26#039;s better than Gaborik. He%26#039;s shown more skill.|||These debates are just as silly as the Crosby/Ovechkin ones. How about something like which of these two players is most valuable to their team?|||1. Gotta go with Parise on this one, he plays great, good goal scorer, just IMO Devils couldnt figure out their lines this year
2.Kane- He has speed, great goal scoring abilities, and usually finds a way to always rush in that puck to the net
3. hmmmm tough, i dont get to see too much of the east coast regular season games as it is but Kovalchuck is a great player but yet again they just couldnt seem to balance out the lines and figure out who plays with who this year. :o) i know lame answers but thats all i got for ya....but thank you that its not another crosby vs ovie!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
