Any mod want to add "this year" to the title?
Love the guy and think he's great for the game. Have owned 2 Ovechkin jerseys over the years. Not even close to a Mount Rushmore of hockey in my mind.

That is a tall ask. Greatest goal scorer yes.. but Crosby has always been the better player and is ahead of him IMO. Simple question: you get one player for the entire game, game 7 Stanley Cup final, which one do you want? I love Ovie, but I want Crosby, who can do things Ovie can't. Crosby can't score like Ovie can, but he can score pretty darn well. He has a goal scoring title and probably would have 2 if it wasn't for David Steckl's cheap shot.
He is surely hockey royalty, but if we have to pick 4 skaters, Crosby is ahead for now. I wonder if I have Jagr ahead of both anyway.. What he did in the clutch and grab, skate in the mud 90s was incredible.

Mount Rushmore... who cares? Mountains are stationary. When Ovechkin retires he should forever tour the world celebrating like he just won the Stanley Cup!

Maybe the solution is that when the NHL releases their Mount Rushmore, they actually put 5 people on it because they always seem to suck at doing anything like this. *SEE Malkin not in Top 100*
Those are good points and Jagar for whatever reason does not get enough credit either. I have Crosby in my top 10 all time and I think Ovi is entering that conversation. In no particular order... Howe, Gretzky, Orr, Lemieux,Crosby, Lidstrom, Jagar, Roy. After that group is where I think Ovi belongs and where it gets muddled. Lafleur, Messier, Bobby Hull, Rocket, Hasek, Brodeur, Bourque. Very tough task.

Body of work Hasek destroys Roy in everything but longevity and the ever prevalent "not being Canadian".
There's no sum but Hasek also destroys Roy consistently in GSAA as well.

There's no statistical argument for Roy, only a narrative and nationality one. I guess #cups too, but if that's your argument then big lol.
Roy 4 Cups
Hasek 0 Cups
but who cares about that stuff... regular season stats > Championships right?
