aww man, why did they have to bring up sindy crosbitch when i wanted to see a tribute to a classy and extremely hard working and dedicated hockey player.
dude refs call way to many penalties now its rediculous....i liked it bettr the way it was....u notice how no one puts up the numbers people used to....guess the new rules that promote goal scoring dont work :P
No, people just play def3ence. Look at Gretzky videos, teams play systems and defense now, NHL teams in the 70's and early 80's literally didn't even play systems. Scoring post-lockout is also up.
Best hockey player EVER, hands down. The man was incredible as is but, imagine if he didn't have so many injuries. He had it all speed, vision, and awesome hands for a man that big. He dominated his whole career. One year in the Q he had 133 goals in 70 games, crazy.
Mario is a freakin beast jeez he could have played football! Wait, he's too cool for that. BTW, Dallas had a shitty ovation, fuck them. They don't even deserve to have Lemieux in their arena.
What if Gretzky didn't play through a lock-out year and bad back 'caused by Gary Suter? I'm sure he would've scored 369 more goals than if Lemieux didn't play his bad back and cancer. (Btw, who scored 50 goals in 39 games before he turned 21 years old? Mario?? Does Mario have 60 NHL records?)
Had Mario played in 513 more games, he would've scored 10 goals in one game, he would've married my sister, and would be a co-pilot to Alex Kovalev right now...
thats exactly right...gretsky was always surrounded by great players, mario wasn't...no disrespect towards gretzky he was amazing, its just that respectively its obvious that mario was better
your a fucking idiot Mario is the best hockey player to play the game way better than gretzky did you see mario in fortn of the ent all the time and waitin for the puck no gretzky did if it wasnt for cancer and back problems mario was gonna destroy all gretzky's records truly the best and have some respect he beat cancer god bless him
Gretzky is the best all around player, Mario is the best Goal scorer. Mario came close to beating Gretzky's record of 215 points, but had 199. In many ways(Years) Gretzky was better, despite your belief. They are both #1 to me. But Gretzky is a better Ambassador than Mario is.
Stupid Dallas morons. They must have all become hockey fans the week before or something. It doesn't matter who he played for, Mario is one of the legends and the best they can do is some half-assed applause? Anyone whose been with the game for a while knows you show your respect for the great ones no matter who they played for.
dome1972, that is the stupidest thing you could ever say. As good as Jagr was then and is has never been at Mario's level. Plus, it was Jagr that threw a bitch fit when Mario came back in 00-01 because he wasn't the man anymore.
He threw the hissy fit because Lemieux had the locker-room staff clear out a stall for one of his kids so they could spend time together. That locker just happened to be Jagr's. Could you imagine the look on Jagr's face when he saw his stuff strewn all over the middle of the room.
negro plz mario would fucking shit on that mullet wearing faggot ass cry baby he is a bitch mario is one of the greatest...he is up there with howe orr gretzky roy richard jagr was a good player on the same level as forsberg sakic but he cant ever touch mario not even when he had cancer

You guys can thank the 1990's era officiating and the clutching and grabbing for the injuries Mario had to endure (minus cancer of course).

Paul Coffey said that Mario was the best he played with and he won cups with both Wayne and Mario.
Based on goal per game average Mario passes Gretzky.
Mario missed 513 games and played 572 less than Wayne.
He would have scored 182 more goals than Wayne had he not missed the 513 and 227 more goals than Wayne had he played as many games.

Mario scored 5 goals in one game 5 different ways.
When Wayne scored 50 in 39 he was with a gret team, Mario was with the worst.
By Average, Mario is either better or as good in all categories.
He is the only playe r who can say that.
When you consider than his missed games didn't come at the end of his carrer, but while in his prime, the averags show what he would have done.

It was a good thing that a young Czech showed up in 91 to show him how to win. Jagr carried him from 94 until his retirement.
