Thinking today about Demidov, i realised the habs don't have any player who's been certified by the hockey world as a generational talent?
Im pretty sure for us The Rocket is a no brainer, then we had Guy Lafleur but im sure if you ask anyone else not a hab fan they would disagree.
We have so many cups but very few of our players are celebrated. Seems odd because the discussion surrounding gen talents is exactly about how these players could potentially lead their teams to sc conquests.
in other sports the gen talk is meaningless, if your guy doesnt win campionships hes a no body.
NBA: greatest player of all time is considered to be MJ and Lebron because of their championships. No one cares about the guy who scored the most points.
MLB: Its all about the Yankees, no one cares about the greatest pitcher or hitter.
Soccer: You're the greatest based on how many world cups you've won, the messi vs Ronaldo was settled when Messi got his WC, however both Messi and Ronaldo are considered Gen
NFL: rings.
Only in hockey, are cups not the main talking point. Last year the NHL shoved Bedard's face all over social and mainstream media. Bedard this Bedard that and not a single peep about the sc winners? I honestly barely remember who won the cup last year. Oh yeah its Florida....
so im confused with all this generational talk, i dont understand what it means and what is the point of it, and is Demidov a gen talent since alot of people are claiming hes as exciting as Guy Lafleurs but is Guy considered a generational talent? And if yes then why are some people ashamed and afraid to call Demidov a gen talent? if no then who do we have in our history that was considered gwnerational... 24 cups, afterall soneone had to play and win those games
