Everyone knows the only poll that matters is the one you fly your championship banner on!! In that regard, Sid's got it over Ovi.
Now, in all seriousness, one can formulate a critical argument against the results of this poll because they never stated it to be a "random" sample of players. Did they poll a bunch of Canadian players? How many Russian players were in their sample? Maybe they explained that further in the article, but I'm not an ESPN insider subscriber so I didn't read the rest. Maybe I'm being too "unobjective or pigheaded, I don't know..."
