Ovechkin will go down as one of the best players of all time and as evidence as to how hard it is to win the Stanley Cup in a 30 team league. There are very few awful teams in the league and the parity as a result of the salary cap has made every single team in the playoffs a chance to win. This isn't the 70s or the 80s in the NHL where there were 3-4 elite teams who always challenged for the cup and 5-10 awful teams who made it into the playoffs because it isn't hard when nearly every team makes it.
