At first I wanted to write this off as crazy talk, but then I got to thinking... who else would I say is better? Keep in mind, I have two Ovechkin jerseys - I LOVE him as a player.
Guy Lafleur, Jaromir Jagr, Gordie Howe, and Teemu Selanne are all guys who are still far ahead of him at this point. We'll see what happens down the road though. If he can get his team a Stanley Cup or two then it'll go a long way towards getting him into that territory. Right now he's in that tier with guys like Luc Robitaille, Bobby Hull, and maybe Mike Bossy (because of injuries)
