    Dropping a “you mad” and little brother schtick about an organ-eye-zation that’s won 3 cups and 5 conference titles since the Rangers last Cup just because somebody updated a game with a fact is extremely bizarre behavior

    Crosby and Jagr too high, McDavid too low. At least they got Messier right by not having him top 10.

    I'd go:
    1. Gretz
    2. Mario
    3. Orr
    4. Crosby
    5. Hasek
    6. Jagr
    7. Lidstrom
    8. Ovi
    9. Bourque
    10. Roy
    11. Messier
    12. Esposito
    13. McDavid

    I think they had Messier 17 and McDavid 16, right?

    How many more seasons of generational play do we need to see? He’s in his 8th season. We only got/needed 10 seasons of Barry Sanders to determine he’s a top 3 RB of all time.

    Longevity is quite a bit different as it pertains to NFL RBs compared to hockey players. But I do agree that McDavid is already there given what he’s already done compared to his peers.

    This. Mcdavid could retire right now and he’d be a top 5 talent to ever play the game. He’s lapping the field in the most competitive and talented NHL ever. The optimization of roster construction and strategy is absurd and McDavid still dominates on his own tier.

    I'm still waiting for people to have the bravery to address the elephant in the room about Gretzky when being compared with McDavid

    Eh, I feel like you need some playoff success. Not necessarily a cup. Of course there are exceptions, like Sanders.

    it’s not edgy, I’ve said it multiple times. Lemieux was always better than Gretzky.

    especially if we are just using the talent argument like we are right now with mcdavid.

    1.92 vs 1.88 PPG. They are very close statistically. Plus Mario missed 4 seasons of his prime due to cancer.

    McDavid more talented than both. Which makes Gretzky not top 2.

    Mario was a 6’4”, 230 lbs C that could literally do everything. Total unicorn that the league hasn’t seen since.

    I mean sure, but also McDavid would have probably missed 15-20 games a season getting murdered by all the cheap shot artists of the 80s/90s.

    If you put Mario in todays league, he’d be right there with McDavid in points IMO. Could you imagine what Lemieux would do not having to deal with all the clutching and grabbing? It would be ridiculous.

    BTW, that Carter hit on Makar was brutal last night. I’m sure he’ll get one game and a pat on the back from Parros.

    lol oh never mind.

    McDavid is taller and heavier than Gretzky. If Wayne didn’t have an issue why would someone who is a vastly superior skater and stronger on his feet have that problem?

    Where are all these 90's stars that were missing 15-20 games every season because of things after the whistle
