Hey Patrice his first year gretzky didn't have kurri no Coffey no Anderson and still had over 50 goals and won the hart as a first year player something mario failed to do , so do some research before you open your mouth and sound stupid
@dannycarlow82042 ай бұрын
In Wayne's first two years he played 159 games and had 301 points. Over those same two years Messier, Lowe, Coffey, Kurri and Anderson (the 5 hall of famers responsible for every single point Wayne ever had) played a combined 497 games and had a grand total of 318 points between them. In Coffey's first two years in Edmonton he had a points per game average of .785 while it was 1.487 in his first two years in Pittsburgh. Messier had 33 and 63 points in his first two seasons. Not exactly the numbers of immediate hall of fame status. Aside from Wayne, the Oilers drafted their core. The Pens brought in a bunch of experienced, proven all star scorers so Mario could get a cup, because he wasn't going to win one any other way.

@deemzcello14312 жыл бұрын
He earned every inch. No player in the 100 year history of the game demanded as large of a radius with the puck as Lemieux did. If you encroached his radius he was already 2 or 3 steps ahead psychologically and had the raw talent, athleticism, vision and reach to embarrass you out of your jockstrap nearly 100% of the time. After a while, players wouldn't even try. Easily the most naturally gifted athlete to ever tie them up. Not just a gem in regards to hockey, but all pro sports. One of the all time great one man gangs in the history of all team sports.

@@deemzcello1431 Add prime Stevens, Jagr who was gifted from his first shift, Recchi, Tocchet, Francis, Murphy, Coffey, and Barasso's last few good years, and you'll see why those early 90s Pens were incredible.
