Never beat the Habs in the playoffs . Ever.

45/50

How can you disrespect an all time great with this voice in a can garbage ?

Maybe it is just my nostalgia, but he seemed to win the biggest face-offs.

Imagine getting 156 points in a season and you weren’t first place

You're way off on Gretzky"s points total

I witnessed the best hockey player of all time in Bobby Orr, but like his name says, Mario Lemieux was the best player on offense I ever saw. While Gretzky was nifty, Mario was nifty and tough.

I went to a game at LCA this season (24-25) for the first time in a while and have a 90's era CCM Yzerman jersey. I thought it might be a little weird wearing the jersey of a retired player (current GM of da Wings though) but I am pretty sure more than half of the jerseys I saw in the arena were #19 and, on top of that, they were still selling Yzerman jerseys there in the current design which I am pretty sure he never game wore. Stevie Y is a legend, if not revered as a deity, in the metro Detroit area.

i only got 45/50

I am not sure if people in the comments actually saw Mario play. Yes, he was incredible. Sometimes. And many times he did absolutely nothing. Going into CC 87 he had a reputation of being lazy. I think I saw a perfect summary of Gretz vs Mario in one of the forums: Maybe Mario in his best game was better than Gretzky in his. But Gretzky had way more good games. In my opinion this is the correct description.

Man we got treated to some good ones back in the late 80's and 90's

Growing up as a wings fan in the 80s and 90s, all I ever wanted to be, was this man. He always amazed with his skill, but for me what made me idolize him, was his amazing threshold for pain, and what he would he would put his body through for his teammates. He was a true leader, in every sense if the word.

I say this often. If Gretzky and Lemieux took up different sports and hobbies, Stephen Gregory Yzerman is the best player of his Generation...

There are 2 factors that makes Wayne Gretzky stand out from the other legends and it has to do with Gretzky size, and his genius vision on the ice to dodge injury for most of his career. This was a gift most other greats did not have like Bobby Orr, Mike Bossy, Mario Lemiuex, etc with their careers cut short, but Gretzky under normal circumstances should have been tossed around like a tennis ball in the rink, but his visual instinct kept him from major injuries. This in itself sets him apart and most other greats just did not have that prowess. #2, I never thought it was fair to compare players that play an entire 80 games or close to 80 games and players that only play half or more than half a season. Most players including Gretzky slow down and get fatigued usually in the last half of the season and their PPG reduces a bit. i never thought it was fair to compare players that play only 2/3 a season like Lemieux and then get injured their body was not in full fatigue factor like Gretzky was and had Gretzky played the exact same amount of games as Lemieux during a season his PPG total would be significantly higher. The fatigue factor makes a huge difference on points total and Lemieux took advantage of that.

😊 i like it

The best, the most exciting player to watch. I feel honoured to have seen him play in real time. Thanks Mario.

I am one of if not the biggest Mario fans of all time! I played top level hockey my entire life and am now 43 years old. I watched Mario every game he played or Highlights of games I couldn’t. Watching him since the late 80’s. I’ve never seen anyone be so dominant in any sport ever. He’s presence in the ice and size and skill was just something out of this world. It was unmatched by anyone except maybe Jordan with the bulls in the same era. It was a great time to grow up. Just said that most of the world especially the later generations can’t understand how good he was. He was a great idol to have and he never disappointed. Love you Mario. 🐐

Greatest player in the history of the NHL. Gretzky was a 1 way player and was soft as baby s**t. Orr was a complete player. He was a better defender, a better skater and was a helluva lot tougher. I remember watching him kill penalties on his own.

Bowman is quite the stark contrast from Blake though, the latter was known as a player's coach, very much loved and respected by all his players, almost considered "one of the guys." I imagine it's because he happened to have Richard and Beliveau, around whom the rest of the team coalesced, making it easier to coach. Bowman never had such a leader of that stature on the ice, plus his game plan always changes, making him a bit of a feared character.

TBF the type of cancer he had has a good prognosis if you catch it early. But to do what he did was nothing other than Super Human Mario

I will never forget that slap shot from the blue line to clinch it.

turns out i know nothing about mario lemieux

The player was amazing, the narration was not

Top 10 of all time. If he not in yours you know nothing about Hockey. Stevie Y. The Captain!!

The Greatest Captain

I was there when Mario scored a hat trick after coming back from retirement, the igloo was absolutely electric that night! If Mario and Wayne played the exact number of NHL games Wayne wouldn't have come close. When 66 retired he was the only player to ever have a 2pt a game average!

What’s Ice Hockey?

The captain! My captain! One of one!

How about the mullet game at 0:20!

Thats my Captain.

A tremendous hockey player and a evan better person

You need to get rid of the computer voice reading your stories. There were so many misspoken words that I was laughing half way through it.
