Certainly not a knock, just saying one guy isn't gonna dominate like that again IMO. Sure he looked unstoppable against the Flames in game one. He looked just as unstoppable last season in game one. Ended up with 30 goals.

Yeah - 30 is good but also ordinary in terms of goal scoring.
He can skate fast and deke out a goalie for a tally every odd game sure, but I don't see him able to shoot it like Ovie. A lot of goals come from around the crease for him it seems. Otherwise he's primarily a playmaker. Amongst the best today but hardly the best of all time..UNTIL he accomplishes the same feats.
Crosby put up 120 in the same year, when the game was more physical and the ability to grind it out in the o-zone was needed. So he has yet to even pass Sid's mark in a time when the game is more or less tailored to what he likes to do.
