The pens here have two of the top 5 players all time and jagr another top 15 player of all time. Neither mcdavid or Leon are close right now
How? I was actually gonna put Messier but when I searched for highlights all I could find was one with him throwing elbows and even though I saw him play Drai is above that dirty game and Drai is reigning AR/Hart/Lindsay winnerThis explains quite a lot.
Jagr is higher than Sid on a lot of listsThe pens here have two of the top 5 players all time and jagr another top 15 player of all time. Neither mcdavid or Leon are close right now
I certainly wouldn't say "a lot", unless you're talking about random blog lists.Jagr is higher than Sid on a lot of lists
McDavid didn't play in the 80s.McDavid's career high is 116 points.
No he's not lol. Any new list last couple seasons sid is higherJagr is higher than Sid on a lot of lists
Why?
The only player to get more points in the history of the sport is Wayne Gretzky... that's probably why lol
Because toews two way capabilities doesn't negate the 40 more points crosby would consistently score more a seasonWhy is it always like , most points =better player?
Datsyuk, toews, bergeron, sorry but i would take tham before i take draisaitl, jagr or Crosby.
Wayne is ok , everyone would take him, but than i think datsyuk- Toews are really close.
True but Messier is slow compared to Drai and less skill. Inserting a peak Wayne Gretzky with Edmonton's duo is a better option.
The Pens trio would often be injured, how many games in a season would they actually play all together?
The best hockey sense in the history of the game...see below the timestamp comment from that goaliePrime Gretzky doesnt have the speed or hockey sense to keep up with McDavid or Drai. Totally different eras.

You literally stole all my thoughts. I'd rank 'em the same.Lemieux = Gretzky
Crosby > McDavid
Jagr >>>>> Draisaitl
I feel like this thread is disrespectful to Jagr even though there are 6 total players mentioned.

He's drunk or something.You’re calling the best player to ever play the game, who is lauded for having some of the best hockey sense of all time, not being able to keep up hockey sense wise?

To your credit, this is only the second dumbest Gretzky-related comment I've seen this weekend. The other came yesterday, when someone said Gretzky wouldn't even be an NHL-caliber player in today's league.Prime Gretzky doesnt have the speed or hockey sense to keep up with McDavid or Drai. Totally different eras.
Gretzky was the most dominant player to ever play the game, but that is not the same thing as the most skilled player. Wayne was scoring on players that could barely skate and goaltenders without any fundamentals. Players today are bigger, faster, stronger, and much more skilled than ever before. The game is on a completely different level today than it was in the 80s.
Holy shit lmaoPrime Gretzky doesnt have the speed or hockey sense to keep up with McDavid or Drai. Totally different eras.
