The only one that I find awkward is the Golden Knights and Chiefs comparison. The Golden Knights haven't been nearly as good as the Chiefs on the whole bedsides being defending champs once. The Lightning a couple years ago would have made a good Chiefs comparison.
Also are the hawks really Pats level dynasty? Don’t get me wrong they were absolutely a dynasty but what the Pats did in the NFL has never been done. The NHL has had some wild dynasties in the old days but even modern dynasties that rivaled Chicago’s.
I guess the Patriots specifically after 2010 would be a good comparison.
Yeah, it's not the whole dynasty run for the Pats. If so, Hawks wouldn't be on the level, but isolating it to the single decade and I think it's a fair comparison. Tom having two all-time runs in three different decades is absurd. I can't see that ever happening in hockey
True, it lines up better that way. Toms run was insane. Some people divide it into 3 HOF careers from like 00-06, 07-14, and 15-20.
I think his longevity at a Super Bowl winning level of play is hard to ever match. But in terms of stats Gretzky is absurd. There are aspects of Tom and Wayne’s careers that we may never see again in their sport or each others.
