Is Jagr the greatest European player of all time?

[Jedub]

Russians are Europeans, the country itself straddles both continents and contains many asian ethnicities but ethnic russians are Slavic Euros just like the Poles, Ukrainians, Czechs etc

Jagr
Hasek
Lidstrom

OV isn’t European, Russia is considered mostly a part of Asia.

Who told you that? If it was your teacher, he/she should get 5 min major for bullshitting... Russia is mostly Europe, every Russian will agree. Eventhough Russia is divided between Europe and asia

To the topic

1) Hasek (gretzky in the net )
2) Jagr - (AINEC, you’ve had to see it to believe it - sort of marios kind of dominance)
3)Datsyuk (whatever you think about it - my bias)
4) Ovechkin (f***in freight train, absolute beast)

Hasek for me

68 hangs in my closet for a reason..There was a year when him and Mario were head to head for the scoring title..1997 I think..It was amazing..Kurri had 99 handing the rock to him..Jagr was a force

It's a 3 way race between Jagr, Hasek and Ovechkin.

I used to always say Jagr, but I think Ovechkin is getting close. I personally slot Hasek 3rd, but I know some will have him higher.

Ovechkin doesn't have a case even against Makarov.

the Lidstrom disrespect

Ovechkin easily surpasses Jagr with getting the all time lead in goal scoring IMO

the Lidstrom disrespect

No, Lidstrom is far below.

His peak doesn't come close. He was never in contention for the best player in the world, never close to a hart trophy. Insane prime, but definitely below the other 3.

He's one of those guys that HF loves to overrate though.
