As I mentioned, Sid’s longevity is being a Canadian hockey legend… whose name gets mentioned in the top 10 Canadian hockey players often.
Nobody is saying Ovie is cracking the top 5.... but spoiler alert... neither is Sid.

I would not for two reasons. 1) I am much more of a PSA holder fan than a BGS one and 2) like Crosby much more as a player over Ovechkin

Your top 5? No.

Seems your mind is made up and I don't really have a dog in the fight.

Just find it absurd to dismiss Ovechkin's achievements based on his nationality.

Carry on, but remember -- there's 143 million of them and only 38 million Canadians.
Whatever.

Russia is a gas station toilet. Period. Ask a Ukrainian. Or a Romanian. Or a Latvian. Or a Czech. Or any number of people around the world.

I'll take Canada any day. Thanks.

Ironically, by your logic Ukraine and the others are outhouses behind the gas station.

Of the countries you listed, all rely on Russian fuel and natural gas. Latvia gets 92%, Czech 55%...

Don't confuse lingering political frustrations/tensions from the Soviet period with hockey fans. I doubt you'd find a Latvian or Czech say Ovechkin is behind Bobby Hull.

We've been fortunate to watch many great Russian players, including one of my personal favorites...Sergei Fedorov.

Edit: You know, for allegedly being hockey people, it's weird to have Canadians downplay the achievements of Russians (or internationals for that matter) in the NHL. The Russian Five was a thing for a reason.

You seem to have chosen to keep the Crosby? Both great cards! One clear right answer here in Sid . I think you would have an almost immediate sellers remorse once that thing left your collection.

This really is a poorly worded history lesson.

No one cares about BGS anymore, and it's a 9.5 not 10

Keep the Cros
