No doubt. He had gone head to head with Maurice Richard and clearly outshined him.
Maybe in Montreal someone claimed otherwise, due to discrimination or something, and Cup counting.
However, this is also becouse of Howe's longivety and perhaps also to some extent the shorter seasons during Richard's earlier career which led to a lower raw point total for him then it otherwise would have been.
Perhaps Richard could even be tried to be pushed for a little like someone do Lemieux vs Gretzky, although i don't think Richard's best was as close to Howe's as in the other comparison. Including his playoff goal scoring.

Both Hull and Richard acknowledged that Howe was a better all-around player than either of them - and those are no small egos.
