And you can never tell if they are tongue in cheek or serious.I love these takes.
That's how wild some peoples opinions are.

I don't know about that. Even considering scoring levels, I don't think he's surpassing Gretzky's 17 goals and 47 points in 18 games.McDavid has arguably done as much or more than any individual has (in a playoff run), in the histoy of the league.
That's rich with having Matthews in your pfp. Maybe one day he has what it takes to pass the 2nd round.McOverrated

I hope these threads stay up forever.
Not sure why you think it's an odd take. The greatest of all time in every team sport all have at least one championship to their names. Many have multiple.
Barry Sanders, often regarded as the GOAT running back, has never won a championship.
Breaking Gretzky's records is so passe, all the kids wanna be like Kravtsov nowadays. McGambler needs to get with the times.McOverrated
yeah but he only won one cup..It's the only thing they have left. They'll clutch onto this for the rest of time and if he does win a Cup they'll be a new "ya, but..." that comes up.
No credible authority that I know of lists Barry Sanders as the GOAT running back. Not over players like Jim Brown and Walter Payton. He was great, no question....but his legacy is the same as Dan Marino's....both great players who have never won a championship.
Except nobody is saying he is the greatest of all-time? They are saying he is (currently) top 5-10. Denying that McDavid is a top-10 player at this point is outright delusional. No Cups are required to reach that ranking. If you want to talk about him ranking higher than Gretzky, then yes a Cup (and many other things) will be necessary.Not sure why you think it's an odd take.

When he wins his 1st Cup (which I think he eventually will), then yes, he's a top 5-10 player of all time. JMO.
Love McDavid, but he will never be as dominant as Mario Lemieux, who shall remain at #4.1.Gretzky

Delusional take
Not odd. Foolish.Not sure why you think it's an odd take. The greatest of all time in every team sport all have at least one championship to their names. Many have multiple.
You know whats overrated? Austons outfit in your avatar.McOverrated
You're suggesting that the next 2 games determine McDavids place in (your) history.
Its fine. Like I said these takes will look more foolish with time.Not just the next 2 games, the entirety of McDavid's career. For me to include him as a top 5 player of all time, he needs to have at least one Cup. Sorry, but that the precedent that's been set and I'm going with it.

Where is Gordie Howe on your list?Gretzky
Lemieux
Orr
McDavid
Crosby
That's a little rigid and we know how weak the Conn Smythe thread is going right?Not just the next 2 games, the entirety of McDavid's career. For me to include him as a top 5 player of all time, he needs to have at least one Cup. Sorry, but that the precedent that's been set and I'm going with it.
Right after Crosby mostly due to 6 team leagueWhere is Gordie Howe on your list?
