The Caps were still celebrating their Stanley Cup victory when a couple of knuckleheads came out to give their input on the matter. Larry Brooks of the New York Post was quick to say that a Cup won’t change Alex Ovechkin’s ledger of losing. Michael Wilbon felt the need to point out Stanley Cup totals by other modern players, compared to Ovechkin, and that he’s not an all-time great until he gets more.
As much as I disdain what these two had to say, it’s simply the reality of how folks compare great players in almost every sport (just usually not so soon after a championship).
