Why all the hating over this video. It really doesn't matter who was better then who. Everyone has their own personal favorites. Some Orr, some Gretzky, Some Messier, Some Lemieux, etc. I always found Lemieux very humble and like Orr he had a short but very highlighted career due to injury and health. All great players in their own right that changed the game forever.
Imagine if Mario didn't have all the health issues that he had he would have been even greater. There's a reason why Bobby Orr said that Mario was the most talented player he has ever seen. Reminds me so much of Ken Griffey jr
you all need to stop whining about who is better and just pay tribute to one of the best. it's all about who your PREFER not who is better. stats only tell one side of the story. different strokes for different folks.
dont get me wrong here cuz i love Mario,but once again Pittsburg got the #1 ranked(Crosby) because the where the last one just like they got Lemieux....
its how they built their team......a fucking shame!
@MetalKaliss Just curious but how is building thru the draft a shame? The Penguins basically blew until they drafted Mario, they deserved him. We won the lottery to get Crosby so what are you talking about? From 2002-2005 the Pens sucked so they got top draft picks. Just curious...........
@Pens876671 ,the pens win the Crosby lottery because they where in last 5 of 30...but the Wings stay at the top 5 for 10 years whitout picking rookies from the lottery of the shame!
@G00DFELLAZ no the best hockey player to ever lace them up is bobby orr do your homework and mario lemieux wakes up every morning and wishes his last name was messier who had more goals more assists more points more cups and not to mention is the greatest captain in the history of sports period what did lemiuex have more points per game ooooo he cant hold a candle to messier and isnt even close to the skillset of bobby orr
@MegaMma4life Best captain in history from most commentators and hockey peers say it is Jean Beliveau, on and off the ice. I do agree with Bobby being the best player ever, but your statement of how Lemieux wishes his last name was Messier...I highly doubt. I am thankful for Messier being a Ranger fan, but if your argument is how Messier is greater than Mario because of more points, then wouldn't your case for Orr be wrong...since Wayne has more points than Bobby.
@RangersLeetch no my friend im not saying that messier is better the mario becuase of points im talking messier being better then mario because of what he has 1 accomplished in the sport 2 the way that he played the game 3 him being the greatest leader in the history of any sport beliveau was great amazing player but from a stand point of being a leader there isnt a better one the messier as for orr he is the greateset player i have ever seen play there isnt anyone who can hold candle to him
@RangersLeetch remember messier is the only guy to captain 2 different franchises to a cup and you also need to remember that he never bitched and complained he played mario was a pussy with his actions great talent great goal scorer but he couldnt play both ends of the ice messier could and once again bobby orr is the greatest hockey player to ever play the game 615 games 933 points and if he didnt have bad knees he would of crushed that point record plus minus 124 no player ever has had that
@plaidchuck sorry but your wrong most talented player to ever play the game is bobby orr. orr is the best hockey player to ever play the game and like i said b4 lemieux wakes up every day looks in the mirror and say i wish my name was messier
@rpoole1987 more points more goals scored more assists more cups by alot only player in history of the game to captain two different franchises to a cup greatest captain in the history of sports most famous hatrick ever most famous quote ever says we'll win tonight goes out in the third period scores hatty and gets a assist please its not even a close whos better not to mention mess used to make mario his bitch
@MegaMma4life Mess was surrounded by Hall of Famers at every position for every one of those Cups. His numbers can be attributed to the fact that he wasn't sidelined for years by Hodgkins and back/hip issues like Mario was. Even Mess would laugh in your face if you told him he was a better player than Lemieux.
@CaptainFantastik1 nope im sorry he wouldnt laugh hes better hes a better player better champion tuffer scored more goals and used to run mario over when they played second in all time points second in all time goals hmmm marios pens when they won werent a allstar team ????mario was surrounded by great players as well for his cup wins he didnt win by himself like a bobby orr did but like i said mario wakes up every morning looks in the mirror and says i wish my last name was messier
@MegaMma4life not to mention the fact that messier is the greatest captain in the history of sports and you know what if messier where to sell one of his rings he won with oilers it would go for double the price of a pens ring and his rangers cup ring forget about it argument is easy who has more cups who has more goals who has more asssitst who has more points ???? messier beats mario in every category excepts points per game thats it so explain how mario is better
@plaidchuck OMG orr payed mario a complement boy its not like other players dont pay complements to other players. Bobby orr is the greatest hockey player to ever play the game as said by every body won stanley cups by himself
@plaidchuck and ? lol bobby orr isnt full of himself he tells people when they ask him about when he played he says i was okay its called being humble there isnt a hockey guy alive who would say that mario was better then orr not one
Ahh so you know Orr personally and what he means when he says stuff? Let me break it down for you, Gretzky and Messier played with 4-5 hall of famers. Lemieux played with absolute SCRUBS for almost 7 years and tore up the league. I rest my case.
@plaidchuck jagrs a scrub huh orr played with nobody he played with old men ready to retire besideds mario was messiers bitch his whole career and adam graves chased him out of the league mario is was and always will be a pussy. Orr is the greatest hockey player to ever play the game its un questionable anyone who knows the game will tell youthat you must be like 20 years old who reads stats and says o hes the best look at his stats your clueless saying mario played with scrubs hahahahahahahah
@MegaMma4life so exactly when was mario mess's bitch? are you kidding me mario would skate circles around Mess. Your just a pathetic troll who has nothing bettter to do with his life you need a hug bro.
yeah really so if the pens got this good through #1 picks then edmonton and the islanders should be dominating the league.

Rankings for me 1.Gretzky and Lemuiex Lemuiex probably would have eclipsed Gretzky if it weren't for hodgkin's and various other injuries.
2. Messier lets face it his stats are kind of inflated due to his play with Gretzky but skill and leadership abilites alone put him here for me

After being 3 and half years away from the nhl, Lemieux still got more points per game in the 2000-2001 season than Jagr. How is that possible?
