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.

[@chizorama]

He bought into Bowman & the rest of the team followed. He could've put up more points, but he sacrificed numbers for success. One of the best captains I've seen, led by example, had the grit & heart.

[@peacelovejusticeandnomercy]

A true superstar. One of the best to ever play. I was so depressed when he retired. He probably could have played another three years if not for his knee injuries.

[@agrandcanyonoffucksgiven2776]

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

[@russs7574]

As a Penguins fan, I saw just about as much of Yzerman as I cared to over the years. He was absolutely one of the best 200-foot players I've ever seen. You know, you could adapt the old baseball joke....70% of the Earth is covered by water.....the rest by Steve Yzerman.

[@twwap294]

I was fortunate enough to watch his whole career. Wow! Incredible player and man.

[@HughHarding46]

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.

[@klompsauce]

My all time favourite player. The Capitan.

[@josephbrancato1883]

Same here. Favorite player since I was a kid........ favorite player til I die. My opinion of Yzerman being the most complete player will never change. Great video sir.

[@knightrider693]

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

[@lewismooney3941]

The captain! My captain! One of one!

[@mailliw8647]

Stevie Y...Cause he could!!!

[@bigred3164]

The Greatest Captain

[@kurtmooreca]

Thats my Captain.

[@jamesbutler3405]

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

How about the mullet game at 0:20!

[@rajon25]

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.

[@sammyweed4771]

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

[@v4v819]

Sidney Crosby superseded him... No one is choosing Steve over Sid the kid!

[@csmith1298]

Yzerman over Cindy Crosby all day, all night, all year, All Time.

[@v4v819]

The wisest man on the internet! @@csmith1298

[@karlheinzvonkroemann2217]

Only young people who never saw Yzerman play and love the Penguins would say that. I think to say that is just trolling. @@v4v819

[@Chaosmite]

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

[@IHaveTheSchwartz]

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

[@MtrCtyKid]

The player was amazing, the narration was not

[@josephborso9866]

A tremendous hockey player and a evan better person

[@glenmcdonald375]

He was only a short step behind Gretzky and Lemieux for overall skill and play. NOT quite their level, but quite close

[@klompsauce]

More Cups than Mario, and 1 could argue that Wayne had a better supporting cast as a whole, he’s on the Rushmore imo

[@russs7574]

No, you're right. But he was a better 200-foot player than either Mario or Gretzky.

[@user-fc2ob7yl3u]

I agree!

[@chizorama]

He broke the 150 mark, an elite club.

[@williammontroy9024]

@@russs7574by far . And he wasn’t a diva like Mario to boot
