No. I think the phrase is over-used.
I don't even think Crosby deserves it right now (though if he could stay healthy and re-establish his clear dominance for a period of time, he would).
A generational talent is someone who is clearly better than his peers (with a gap in between) and is so for many years.
Lidstrom is a generational talent. And Lemieux (even though his career happened to partially overlap 99s).
Oh, and I would rather have Stamkos than Ovechkin as well.
