I'm not dubbing Crosby as the greatest EVER, I'm saying that you cant quickly dismiss his accomplishments 1/3 of the way though his career. He still has 8-10 years of "Prime" hockey and is already near 700pts.
That's fine, let him achieve those achievements first then before anyone talks about him being better than so and so. My point was Gretzky, and later Lemieux, separated themselves so far ahead of their competition. Crosby, unfortunately maybe because of concussions, hasn't. The next point is the "they scored in the 80s whenever one scored 200 points against terrible goalies!!!!" Lemieux had one of his highest scoring seasons in a year that Broduer, Roy and Hasek were starters....

And I'm pretty sure Gretzky was doing alright in his younger years as well...
