Role Reversal

Remember back in the days when the differences between Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby were as clear as the differences between communism and democracy? When only Crosby "seems to have grasped that intangible called victory while Ovechkin understands the spectacular far more than the simple". When "If they have been first among equals, they are not that anymore"? When "Ovechkin, the older of the two, appears less mature than Crosby, less grounded, more individualistic."

Funny that.
