I see allot of hate. Dude was doing stuff other players where not that's why the goalies look drunk, lol. He changed the game goalies, and the defense had to improve.

That move at 4:24 that he puts on the Colorado defenseman, whoa was that ever slick!

Gretzky’s skills i think sometimes get underrated. His slapshot was REALLY accurate. He could pick corners, especially high on the glove side, with it quite often. His quickness and overall agility on his skates should get more respect too. He won a lot of races to the puck and had a real knack for cutting in and out of traffic. Obviously his greatest skill is his passing and playmaking…so amazing at drawing defenders to himself and spotting the open guy anywhere on the ice. He just always knew where Kurri or Coffey would be. That Oilers team could’ve won 7 or 8 Stanley Cups if the game’s economics didn’t force the team’s breakup.

beautifully done

When the goalies just flop around and go for desperation saves on every shot it is hard to know how he would fare in the current era.

That enormous Jersey sucked so bad but the player wearing it was phenomenal

The only negative thing you could say is that he wasn't exactly playing against prime Hasek 🙂

It's weird that messier went out better then wayne in ny.

9:10 a thing of beauty.

For the great one

Lemieux was the ultimate sportsman. Such a genius and a very good person.

Playing against chain smokers and goalies who didn’t know what they were doing is not as impressive as the stars today

Gretzky is one of very few professional athletes in history that can see he is the unanimous GOAT in his sport. For a long time (even if debates have ended at some point), it was Montana vs Brady in the NFL, Jordan vs Lebron, CR7 vs Messi, Senna vs Schumacher, Muhammad Ali vs Mike Tyson, Jon Jones vs Khabib, etc In the NHL, there's no debate. Everyone, in and out of the sport, all agree Gretzky is the GOAT of all GOATs.

Mario was a human highlight reel. He embarrassed and terrorized a number of goalies during his career.

That hit by Steven’s was pure cheap shot. It was an elbow to Eric’s head. Would have been called today!

Russians dominate NHL.

If I was playing I would hit the post for going down with sounds off my hands omes’

Could you imagine all the goals he would of scored without the clutching and hooking in that Era

For the " Game" Thanks Wayne ! From Chicago 🏒 I love Hockey " , and played it with Heart ! Thanks .

Looks really slow and weak to me. Even most NHL players 10 years ago wouldn't be able to make it to the NHL today. So if you bring Gretzky's prime to today's game. He wouldn't even make it to the AHL. However, if you give him modern training and all that, we still won't know because he never did. But we do have McDavid who made it through modern training and dominate all the guys now. So McDavid is the GOAT. Gretzky was the best in his time and is nothing compared to players today or even players from 10 years ago.

Made me fall in love with puck

greatest duck of all time

Russian Ovechkin gonna take over in goals soon.

It sucks to see that after that steven hit in 03 he was never rhe same it was lile the nail in the coffin. And and he got traded away and never enjoyed the cup with selanne in 07

The chemistry he had with selanne is the best till this day no one in the nhl even comes close to this caliber accept mcdavid and draisitl

Да великий игрок!! Но я помню интервью когда он говорил что забыл русский язык . И не помнит СССР. Ну и кто он после этого Предатель!

saw his very first game in vancouver

music sux

Reminds me a lot of Larry Bird

As great as is watching gretzky, the clip is made that much better by the excellent selection of era specific music, especially the classic rock in the beginning

The most underrated goal scorer in the history of hockey. More goals/game than Ovechkin, 100x more exciting goals. 90% of Ovechkin goals are just one-time slapshots. Bure had the speed/stickhandling like McDavid, but you literally never hear anyone mention Bure.

Ok ngl if the goalies didn't move from the goal history would be different majority of them are playing out of the box nowadays it's different

He could skate, score, hit and fight. Biggest baddest mother fucker on skates. Loved watching him play. Pretty much invented beast mode.

Why are the goalies so fucking far out of the goal

um hockey

Best name in hockey history as well in my opinion Its like Italian and French, but sounds freshly Canadian and hockey

Everybody looked so terrible back then lol.

Speed and talent. Look at the slashes he endured, but always finished the job. Legend.

R.i.p Wayne you were a great hockey player hope your family is alright

You know he scored over 800 goals, ya think we could see some different ones.

A good old Canadian boy !!!!

I’m still waiting for a statue of him outside of Wells Fargo Center especially because that’s the house that Eric built!

Great captain. Great player

This Should have been the Music for this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGHHooyrqayljs0

I wish that there were a way to know what later players might have been able to do if the goalies weren't mountains of foam and glove and pads. There is so much empty space to shoot on in that era compared to today. But good grief that guy could score.

It's a crime he's not in the NHL HoF... ridiculous.

100% best pure goal scorer ever. Slappers, snappers, wristers and ofc, ONE TIIIMERS! He very seldom used his backhand but it was also devastating.

Matthew J Sailors..... well well well 😂 huge Brett Hull fan and now I see why.......

Music is 🔥

I miss this guy.
