should've given an honorable mention to Maurice Richard for Quebec being the first to score 50 in a season and 500 in a career, having a trophy named after him and being the literal definition of a national Icon for us Quebecers, but Mario is 100% the greatest player to come from here.

[@jonathanmartin8113]

I'd still put Rocket ahead of Mario... Different eras, yes, but the adversity (not downgrading cancer from Mario) that Mario had to go against wasn't even close to the adversity that Maurice had to go through (some players were on the ice just to try to injure or even hospitalize him). And the guy still outperformed everyone on the ice.

[@jimmesc]

I agree with your choice of Wayne Gretsky from Ontario, from Canada, from the planet earth. But you have to give honourable mention to a player as outstanding as Bobby Orr. An incredible player, probably second to only Gretsky.

Great video!! In Quebec, I would have given an honorable mention to Martin Brodeur or Patrick Roy though. After all, they are the 2 greatest goalies of all time. I also feel that they have changed the game forever, especially Roy with his butterfly technique (let's face it, no one will ever break Gretzky's records mainly because goalies have become so good).

[@mauditsalopard]

You can't believe any other country could argue to own this sport after watching this video. Players like Jean Beliveau, Maurice Richard, Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy, Martin Brodeur, Bobby Orr or Phil Esposito would definitely be in the conversation for "best player of all time from a specific country" if they had been born elsewhere, yet they weren't even the best players of their respective provinces. Most of them weren't even mentioned. The pool of talent is, or at least was amazing.

[@donaldclark2722]

Orr played the entire game end to end and revolutionized the position of defensemen. The Great One played half the rink and needed an enforcer to protect him. I'd call him the greatest scorer ever but the greatest hockey player was Orr. 5 Orrs would destroy 5 Great Ones every time.

[@louisrousseau1006]

that's a good way to compare great players, against 5 Orr's or 5 Lemieux, the 5 Gretzky's would say: ''my God they're all so big, tough and so skilled, where's McSorley I miss him...ok let's all go hide behind the net if we want to survive''

A footnote on the Newfie accent. Over the years the fishing industry collapsed and the economy. At some point companies in Fort Macmurray reached out to unemployed people across the country, like Newfoundland and BC. So my freinds went to the oilpatch to work and they came back saying "bud" every other word. I was like that reminds me of my Newfy freinds. I realized they hire people from all over the world in the oilpatch. The Newfies took their accent there and it went all over the world, so if your in Africa and you hear a guy say 'ay bud" you know he worked in the oil patch.

When there's a discussion of who is the greatest player of all times. The consensus is Gretzky but I would select Bobby Orr prior to Mario Lemieux as a close second. Orr redefined the position of defenseman. Like Gretzky, he did all sorts of things that his contemporaries simply could not do. He was the most dominant player of his era by a landslide.

I tend to make a distinction between the "greatest" and the "best" greatest is Gretzky, bar none. Best on the other hand could very well be orr, I would say Mario based on my preferences. Just my two cents.
