All I'm saying is that, like Gretzky, Sidney is the face of hockey, he's the biggest thing the NHL has seen since Gretzky, and on MORE than a hockey level, he is absolutely this generation's Gretzky.

You're getting all bothered by semantics. Relax.
All I've done is disagreed with your argument, don't see the need for the unnecessary quips.

You've made some pretty bold statements, many people will agree with you, many will not. But if you don't want to open yourself up for discussion about it, don't post it on a discussion board.

You've said Crosby is this generations Gretzky, I've said he isn't (because I feel no one is). I've posted my reasons for disagreeing. If you want to extend it to off the ice now, I'll again heavily disagree with that as well. Gretzky brought the NHL to places it's never been, Crosby kept hockey in Pittsburgh (no small feat) but until he's got a cartoon version of himself, he's no Gretzky.
