Re: What is <i>up</i> with your team? –– non-SCF edition
From: (Anonymous)You're right that the thinking I used while writing this comment is stricter than in colloquial usage.
That's probably due to how much I absorbed the recent discussions surrounding McDavid as part of that succession of generational players. It's been a while since I watched the pre-draft stuff but Canadian media had more than a few TV packages that pretty much said that the generational player title could only be limited to Gretzky, Lindros, Lemieux, and Crosby. With McDavid probably in tehre down the line.
Not coincidentally all those guys are Canadian, so there was definitely bias there that I hadn't thought of until I'd already posted my comment. Ovi and Malkin definitely have been discussed as being generational too.
You're right that the Highlander/There Can Only Be One thing does sound ridiculous. But I do still think there's merit to logic they used that someone can only be a generational player if they're consistently the league's best player. It's just that in the modern NHL domination/separation from the pack seems to be more difficult than before.
Re: What is <i>up</i> with your team? –– non-SCF edition
From: (Anonymous)This comment makes you sound like you are very New and still figuring things out -- and if so, that is genuinely great, and a very fun process! but also maybe not the best basis from which you should police how other people use incredibly common terms whose usage no one can agree on anyways. There is already enough brouhaha over who's a generational player without you telling us that Crosby is the only true generational player because Canadian media told you so (especially if you are watching Canadian media and the possibility of their bias didn't occur to you until now).
