Crosby is a generational regular season player

[toewsintangibles]

Crosby has reached this status through his consistency. Can it be said he is a generational player altogether when he hasn't lead his team in scoring in the playoffs when they won it all? Has this happened to other generational players in the forward category?

Eh, he's had an incredible career and won everything.

 

[toewsintangibles]

Now you're talking about Esa Tikkanen

 

[severian]

He's won back to back Conn Smythes.

 

[HugginThePost]

He's won back to back Conn Smythe's.

This.....very much this.

 

[BleedBlue14]

He's over a PPG in the playoffs what is this..?

 

[toewsintangibles]

This.....very much this.

He won 2 Conn Smythes without ever having the most points on his team during the playoffs.. the point still stands. I'm not interested in who is the most marketable..

Lol okay... This is like how Skip Bayless says LBJ isn't the best player in the NBA.

 

[kmart]

sure he had good help in his accomplishments, i guess u can use that argument in certain head to head comparisons. at this point though he won everything along with great output in regular and post season. his career is like a disney story... early hickups with injurys but he got over that and dominated. bottom line, he did everything that was expected of him and more.

 

[Sojourn]

He has 164 points in 148 playoff games while being the target of every opposing team.

 

[Thenameless]

Okay, he's better in the regular season than he is in the playoffs. He's still outstanding in the playoffs though.

 

[K Fleur]

Weak try OP.

I suggests taking a look at Rhiessan71’s posts. He’s more experienced at this than you.

 

[Hank Plank]

Oh good it's one of THESE threads.

i'm not sure we've rehashed "generational" in enough BS forms this month, how about a few more?

maybe andy andreoff is a generational player on tuesday afternoon games where he had chicken and rice for lunch

He is a generational player and 1 of the best ever, no real debate about it and nothing can be twisted to change that.

 

[nowhereman]

Crosby has been the best player on his team in the last two Stanley Cup runs. There's more to measuring a player's worth than points.

I'm not sure how anyone who watched last year's playoffs could say Malkin was better than Crosby. There was a reason Crosby won the award handily and it's not because of any tin-foil hat xenophobic media bias.

 

[sansabri]

I take it that makes Czercawski a generational pre-season player.

 

[thegongshow]

This is stupid. He'll be in the HOF probably the day after he retires.

This is a generational post.

Not sure why this forum was even started

Obviously nowhere near as good as Toews.

Happy now?

U wot m8?

 

[Hockeyholic]

Mr Toews is that you?

 

[Shruggs Peterson]

The term generational has been abused here so much that it's now being used as a slight to argue why a player isn't ''generational'' in every aspect of the game.
That word should just be censored so the drivel will stop.
