Crosby motivated when he plays Ovechkin, moreso than the other way around?

[wildboy26]

Two of Crosby's best games this year, that I have seen anyway, were vs Washington. Ovechkin was quite good in those two games, but no better than his average level of play at best. Is Crosby the one who gets more motivated to play vs Ovechkin than vice-versa?

Maybe

Could be that Washington is a POS team this year, and Sid the Kid gets better opportunities.

What is a POS team?

Generaly comparing the two teams Pittsburg should be a much better "team", they have many more quality attackers than Washington who only has Ovechkin. It hasnt translated in the standings so far though surprisingly.

I love Ovechkin.. my favourite player to watch in the NHL. I actually can't see how anyone can dislike the guy.. he's got to be one of the most talented, funny, laid back people in all of pro sports.

That said, I'm starting to worry he has a problem getting up for the big game. For the World Juniors, and now the two most important games of his NHL career (vs. Crosby) he's been relatively quiet. Hopefully he grows out of it.

Maybe he has a confidence problem. He acts very sure of himself, to the point of being arrogant in fact, but often extreme confidence is a facade of lack of self belief deep down. Crosby seems to have very good but measured
level of confidence.
