The Greatest Goal Scorer of All Time. Obviously the Great 8 is generational.
[mod] What a ridiculous question.
the term generational was not used much 10 years ago... its something millennials came up with to 1up their arguments in these boards, therefore its irrelevant it has no trophy bound to it. when people look back at players they see the real accomplishments black on white and not if he was called generational... a lot of posters confuse this, maybe even on purpose, like spreading fake news.
McDavid 2016-
Crosby 2006-2015
Lidstrom 2000-2005
Hasek 1993-1999
Mario 1987-1992
Gretzky 1979-1986
Lafleur 1975-1978
Orr 1969-1974
He’s allowed to be the best in the world at scoring goals and not generational.
That is if you can only consider one guy generational. If you are allowed more, than yes, he’s definitely generational.
But if you can only name one, then Sidney Crosby is simply just a better overall hockey player than him.
In this case, who is the generational? Gretzky or Lemieux?
