Why were they generational, because they impacted the game and changed it, they were head and shoulders above anyone else in their generation.
Lidstrom was not head and shoulders above Pronger IMO. To me those two were very much a toss up. Lidstrom smoother. Pronger was just a beast though. 6'6, physical, mean, good skater, great shooter and passer. He basically dragged EDM to the cup finals and obviously played a big role with ANA as well. Personally I would take Pronger in his prime over Lidstrom, I think its super close though.
