Remember that thread last year that said Ovechkin wasn't a generational player? Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.

I keep waiting for someone to come and claim the throne. And it's just not happening. Long live the King.

I'm a total homer but it's just so automatic from that left circle. It's crazy.

Generational goal scorer that’s for sure

 

[Deen]

Literally amazing no one can figure him out after all these years.

 

[BallardEra]

Could have had 11 if not for that shortened season.

Generational everything.

Stop. Really. Nothing like a backhanded shot below the belt. You back up the not a generational player. Foolish

Yeah if there was only one generation

12 without the locked out season very likely.

Crosby isn't a generational player because he isn't a generational goal scorer.

For the first 5 years of his career, he was definitely a generational player. But after 2010, he had seasons of 65, 71 and 69 points while still being relatively young. That doesn’t scream generational to me.

Lets leave Crosby out of this

For the first 5 years of his career, he was definitely a generational player. But after 2010, he had seasons of 65, 71 and 69 points while still being relatively young. That doesn’t scream generational to me.

You're entitled to your wrong opinion.

Greatest goal scorer of this generation and it’s not even close. Doesn’t seem like he’ll slow down any time soon. 900 goals seems very possible if he plays till 40.

There is no Rocket Race, just a race for 2nd place


Edit: Well this thread made it to post #17. Have fun!

 

[Sheppy]

Holy shit

 

[txpd]

strange how this non generational player is threatening to break the all time goal scoring record AND has the most points of any player during the tenure of his career.

Yeesh. Any ship in a storm, eh?

 

[Incognito]

Crosby and Ovechkin are both generational players. That's about as close to a fact as a subjective statement can come. You can disagree if you want, but just know that you're wrong if you do.

Anyways, that's not the point of this thread. Congrats to Ovechkin. That's one hell of an accomplishment. He's a top ten player of all-time and the best goal scorer this league has ever seen.
