Do you think Ovechkin's legacy will improve over time?

[MadLuke]

Maybe, but it will take a lot of time, until the people young in the era loose their voice.

Like for how long it took Richard to be really high to go down because he has no trophy case at all (single Hart, playing an in Smythless era).

 

[895]

This doesn't make any sense as some have pointed out as it's not like that Ovi will even be a top 100 player in the league on the day or season he reaches 895 goals.

I mean his place all time in history is kinda looked in at age 38 going into this season right or do you really think on all time lists anything players do or don't do after 38 impact enough on their previous resume to alter it in any significant way?



McDavid could conceivably pass Mario into the top 4 even without a SC, if one thinks he needs a SC then respectfully I think they are out to lunch and I said this even before Ovi won a SC.

In a 32 team league a SC isn't all that important as some make it out to be and sound arbitrary and lazy.

Sometime in the future someone will look up crosby and say well he has 3 SC and more points (assuming some projection here) than Mario therefore he must be better right?

I'm not making that argument just pointing out how arbitrary numbers don't mean that much in the big scheme of things.

Sorry what? He’s on pace for 50+ goals and 100+ points. He’s tied for most goals currently at 13. How is he not a top 100 player?
