PK Suban said on ESPN that Connor McDavid is "Micheal Jordan esque" and the reason why his team has come back from 0-3

Is that true?
He is. If this board cared about hockey, we'd be getting McDavid > Gretzky, Lemieux threads on the regular like LeBron > MJ ones. Guys would be saying Gretzky played against plumbers and midget goalies.

Damn, he's that good
So is that the talk amongst Hockey fans, that Gretzky and Lemieux played against more inferior competition compared to modern day Hockey?

Technically, they did, particularly when it comes to goalies. But it's always relative, which is never taken into account.

We would be seeing this meme on the regular:

But back to McDavid. He's smack dab in the middle of his prime and taken his game to an all-time level the past few seasons. His playoff numbers since 2021-22 are insane and he broke the single postseason assists record this year.
