why is it such a big deal to huge McDavid fans? let him get there. so quick to just automatically place him above the greats, what exactly has McDavid done to deserve placement over Crosby?
He’s also got to be considered the “best player” despite losing scoring titles to guys like Kane, Benn, and McDavid.
Are you new around here? Just read this thread along with the thread @daver made in the history section. It’s full of it.
I have been on hf boards for 20 years
Im not going to read through 77 pages to try and understand your thinking you said it. so explain it...... why would you say something like that if you cant even answer a simple question so in what way exactly is McDavid threatening Crosby's legacy?
It’s the simple fact that they can’t handle that McDavid may or may not be “better” Crosby. And their takes are usually, no…because Crosby is a WINNER and a LEADER. All while McDavid only Collects perosnal trophies and fancy stats. It’s that simple. McDavid is ALL offense while Crosbys “all around” play is clearly superior.
I didnt really come here often back then, I was on some other Leafs related forum so I dont know how it was here but I dont understand the payback part
I viewed Crosby the way I view McDavid now in the beginning of his career. I dont understand the taste of their own medicine,
Howe’s first 4 years were nothing special, while McDavid won the Ross and Hart in his second year.
Yes this sums up everything perfectly
because it’s that cut and dry….Well let’s look at this, shall we?
In those seasons Ovechkin finished ahead of Crosby 6 times in Hart voting. Crosby was ahead 4 times. And once neither got votes. Why pray tell does that stretch go to Crosby?
Because he was the better player. And the the 2013 Hart was unjustifiable so there goes that argumentm
2013 I’ll give to Crosby but that doesn’t make Ovechkins season less. He was plenty worthy of the Hart that year.
It was a chat GPT copy/paste. Either way, what a weird direction to go down with a reply.
Actually when scoring went through the roof a lot of people predicted he would hit 150. I remember 100 being split for people, as there were tons of believers since he was feasting on crappy canadian teams for 56 games.
That and Ovechkins resurgence the last half of the season. The team was 10-13-1 going into game 25. Ovechkin was 20-9-11-20. The next 24 games? Ovechkin had 23 goals and 13 assists, 36 points. The team finished 17-5-2 and secured a playoff spot. During that time frame(last half of the season) Ovechkin ranked 1st in points and goals.
I literally told you I posted it to show Crosby's versatility in scoring, since a lot of people clearly didn't see much of him in his prime. Why are you so confused all the time yet continuing to post? Please, get an AI assistant to help explain things to you on the page. Like any page reader.
What a weird thing to say to another grown adult.
You are absolutely unhinged my man. Genuine question, is it against site rules to blatantly misquote somebody? This guy has done it multiple times now, effectively flaming me.
and yet, through an 82 game season…he was able to maintain the same pace….playing ALL the teams…

This has nothing to do with anything we were talking about.
I didn’t need to see a video to believe he’s a great scorer. It was just weird. A very odd move honestly. And like I said, you then followed it up with…and let me quote you correctly this time….”something you have never seen before.” You tried to make it sound so unique and special. It was honestly adorable.
You just said he played crappy canadien teams for 56 games, that’s why he scored a 100 points and had such a high pace….yet he established himself 2 years later with the same pace and a full schedule…
