I don't really agree. I think Ovie is pretty well acknowledged as one of the greats. Not having a Cup doesn't really change that, but having one certainly elevates his status as a winner. Even if he never got one, he's probably finishing his career top 5 in goals in NHL history and one of the faces of the league for over a decade. Not to mention, truckloads of hardware. He's a lock for the HOF already.
I guess it's hard to imagine what we would think if it didn't happen because now it did!
Congrats to Ovechkin and the Caps!
