You are probably trolling, and this is way off topic, but here you go :

A good way to compare players across generations and universes is by looking at their trophy cases. After all, an MVP is an MVP, it adjusts to the standard level of play. So is a scoring title.

So here Crosby has a respectable 2 Harts and as many Art ross.

Gretzky has 9 Harts and 10 Art Ross.

There is no debate my dude. Gretzky is the most untouchable GOAT in North American sports.

Disagree on that one, I think Mario was better

Could be worse. Like be sent to Sochi to lose 75% of games.

I think you're worrying way too much.

Yeah, just like Reinbacher had a tough time in his last season in the NL, it meant nothing once he could join a better team and turn the page. Tuning out a bad coach is nothing to worry about. We've seen it with Caufield and Mumbles and look at Cole now.

I watched both alot and imo Lemieux was alot more dominant but injuries and cancer ruined what could of been a better career

I think Mario today in the nhl today would be insane no 2 guys to drag to go score goals he's definitely the goat Wayne was the smartest ever but Mario the most skilled.

I don't know if Lindros wouldn't have stopped that early, how much points he would have had.

Not liking recent developments concerning our boy over in Russia. Not sure if he’s just sick of Rotenberg and has decided to mail it in, or if he’s hit a wall because of the grind of the season. Either way, it isn’t good.

Before when Rotenberg drastically cut his TOI, he was still playing good - hustling, working hard, generating chances left and right in the time he got. That no longer seems to be the case.

It’s a shame too because it was really looking like he was going to end up with 60+ points and head into the playoffs on a tear. Now, you wonder if he’ll even get a single additional point in the remainder of the season, and the way things are going, Rotenberg has the excuse to just bench him or scratch him for the playoffs - it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

Since when has Rotenberg drastically cut his ice time? Demidov has averaged 16 minutes the past 5 games.

Demidov looks worn down a little bit. He's a 19 year old kid in his first season vs men..... it's perfectly normal.

I actually hope Rotenberg limits his ice time the last 3 games. Give Demidov some rest before the intense playoffs begin.

Add forsberg to that list. Its almost freaky how he and Lindros were traded for eachother and ended up having VERY similar statistical careers.

Forsberg, Kariya, Lindros, the 1990s were a cemetery to potentially historic players.

But at least it led to them changing the rules.

I said BEFORE when Rotenberg drastically cut his ice time. His ice time has been cut recently as well, but my point was that there is a difference between his play now vs when his ice time was cut before, which you just acknowledged.

Again, maybe he is worn down a bit, or maybe he is fed up with Rotenberg’s antics, that was the question I was posing.

Imo, it could be either one, a bit of both, or he could just be slumping. However, it’s a bit too much of a coincidence that this little skid coincides with Rotenberg cutting his ice time, and it seems like an even further coincidence that Rotenberg decided to cut his ice time shortly after he took over the scoring lead for the team, which he still has despite the slide.
