Not really a fair comparison. Ovie is great, but I don't see him ever being as good as Stevie Wonder Yzerman. Yzerman was humble and a great team player that did whatever it takes. Ovie is a hot dog. Stevie.....no doubt!
What exactly is this being based on? skills? goals? assists? leadership? what? the bottom line is that there is no comparison, Stevie Y was raw & reckless in his early years, goal scorer yes, leader definitely, team player absolutely but it wasn't until the early 90's when scotty came in & defined his game & made him a complete player & the consummate professional that he was, ovie yes is a great goal scorer but lacks everything else, hes not a team player & only cares about himself & personal
They're both great players, but really? where the hell are you getting at comparing a legend like Yzerman who played 20+ years and won 3 cups, to ovechkin whos only been playing like four years? wait till Ovie retires then come out with this video
It's doesn't make much sense to compare the two. Ovenchkin is an incredibly skiled player.
Yzerman was an incredibly skilled player, a tremendous leader, a man of class, humility and hard work. He blocked shots on the penalty kill, played through tremendous pain, came back from an injury that most people are luck to be walking again afterwords.
Let's see what Ovenchkin's legacy is in 15 years. Perhaps then it would be appropriate to compare them.
to be honest i was thinking about this earlier. yzerman used to be a 50-60 goal player until he sacrificed it to become a more defensive player for the team.
Stevie tops ovi on all aspects of the game he is the perfect player

Ovie is too young to be compared with Steve Y
Yzerman is the greatest

No player has ever been more skilled than Yzerman, some close or equal, but none better. In his prime he stands up to any comparison.
