There should be some psychological research done on how these Mt. Rushmore guys appear and are never to be judged, compared or criticized afterwards, not just in hockey, but basically any sport.
I remember watching peak playoff-Malkin with my grandfather, and his reaction was something like: 'I have not seen a player dominate playoff-games like this since Lemieux', and somewhere around that time some 'expert'-rankings were published which had Malkin just, if at all, cracking the top 100.
This year, Draisaitl became the 3rd fastest player to reach 100 points in NHL playoff-history. Can't wait for experts to argue that he wasn't a top 50 player, being beaten by some guy named Dick McFlick, who played in the 40s and put up 7 goals against one-legged Todd Thotbreaker, a veteran from the Pacific-theater.
