Better hitter: Andrei Kostitsyn vs. Sergei Kostitsyn

[Mathradio]

Here are two players that are widely inconsistent in their hitting game. But, when they are on their game, they are very good hitters. (Neither is anywhere close to the likes of Clutterbuck, though)

Andrei hits very hard, but doesn't have the acceleration and the technical repertoire to be an elite hitter; Sergei has better acceleration and a better repertoire while not hitting as hard as his brother. Who is the better hitter?

It's Andrei Kostitsyn and not even remotely close. He knocked Chara and Lucic on their back, SK would bounce off them all the way to the rafters and retire his own jersey, with him hanging in it.

Stupid poll.

Andrei hits like a truck

Andrei is just a brick wall. Definitely a better hitter than his brother. Too bad he doesn't hit more.

Is this poll serious??? AK, AINEC

Andrei can knock down Chara or Lucic. Something Sergei can't do.

And how is crushing Oshie on the boards would compare with nailing down Lucic or Chara? Because crushing Oshie with a hit was this season's biggest hit from Sergei.

Pre-Emelin, Andrei hit more than any other Hab. Here are the top-3 from last year, where Emelin wasn't a Hab and Sergei wasn't either:

1. Andrei Kostitsyn - 140 hits
2. Travis Moen - 129 hits
3. Pernell Karl Subban - 110 hits

A shame he only delivered 106 hits this year...

Andrei is a tank

Maybe Louis Leblanc is a better comparable to SK with respect to hitting.
