@mackie252007, LA went in Finals because of 99; he was hot in playoffs and Roy stole the series; simple as that! Thus, Gretz was ahead of his time: he was the best passer to ever laces skates; Gretzky's intelligence and reading of the game were unmatched. He was adept at dodging checks from opposing players, and he could consistently anticipate where the puck was going to be and execute the right move at the right time (hockey IQ).
@mackie252007, He wasn't playing for great team either! Hockey is worth 5 on 5. Gretzky (even as a rookie) made Blair Macdonald&Brett Callighen famous. Blair played 2 seasons w/ The Great One. He scored an astonish 72 goals in his first two seasons and then signed a lucrative contract w/ Vancouver. Results? He scored only 21 other goals… In his rookie campaign, Gretzky ties Marcel Dionne w/ 137PTS, but Dionne played w/ Simmer&Taylor, while he was playing w/ amateurs.
well wayne is a bum.. he's lucky mario got hurt otherwise he'd be the greatest one you can tell how the transition through the years of where wayne was amazing cause goalies used 2x4's for goalie pads to today where te full sized gear slowed his progress down his ability didn't mean shit and he was never the same player ..and fyi russians are better
@steven4rmnewyork 2857 is the number of points gretzky amassed during his career.
1,887 is the number 2 spot. There's 970 points difference between the two. Mario was great, but stats don't lie. Plus Mario had 1700+ with one NEAR 200 point season with 199 points, which he never got. Gretzky scored 200+ 4 times and nearly did it 5 times. Slooooowwwww your role.
@SilenceIKissYou Funny thing is (and im not just saying this cause im a Wings fan) but if anyone is a better 2 way player than Fedorov, its Datsyuk!!!!!!!!!!! GO WINGS

Hehe he took the pock pretty easly but still you cant compare the great Gretsky in only one action i could take off the pock from gretzky to but does its make me better than him?
Gretzky is the Greatest of All Time! Period. Imagine the points he would have today if he could play? No hooking, holding, clutch, and grab, he would have 4 on 4 now (again), no red line for off sides, etc. The game has opened up so much he would get 200pts every year, vs only 4 times. I mean, 4 more times than anyone else in history. Players have it easy these days, Hell, they don't even fight or rarely hit anymore.
I don't think Gretzky would have more points in this era than in the 80s. If you look at the average amount of goals scored per game during the 80s vs this era, it's a lot higher int he 80's and it's because the defensemen were slower, goalies not as good and goalie pads smaller also. It's a lot harder to score these days than before that's for sure.
wow good one...look at the fucking statistics. Goal scoring was at it's all time high during the 80's when Gretzky was in his prime. Would he have been an elite player now if he was young? Absolutely. Would he be putting up 200 point seasons? No way. Defensemen can skate these days, goalies are MUCH BETTER...defensive schemes are MUCH BETTER....opposition is MUCH BETTER with the high influx of Europe's cream of the crop at an all time high. It's much more difficult to score.
@Spetz You have a good point about the goalies, they had smaller equipment, but players had shity sticks and skates compare to today. But with all the other great players their was in those years, can you tell me why no one came close to having the same amount of points in a single season? Goalies were also smaller for Messier, Lemieux, Lafleur, Maurice Richard and so many other great player. The truth is Gretzky was in a league of his own.
Gretzky is the best of all time I won't say anything to the contrary ever. I'm just pointing out that overall people were scoring a lot more back in his era. The total goals per game over those seasons were much higher than now. Until the Europeans started coming they didn't really play two way games in the NHL, there were no defensive schemes like there are now. Everyone then had shitty skates so that's equal, but the defensemen now are much faster also, can't grab/hold anymore.
haha Gretzky in no way shape or form looks the part of an elite athlete, yes this is at the tail end of his career but come on he looks choppy as hell, he was never as skilled as Sergei Fedorov
gretzky=world's best ...cherry picker gretzky was a huge defensive liability for any team he ever played for he was always the first player out of his team's zone. seen him many times waiting at center ice.
Most penalties are called due to game situations & who is doing the infraction.
It must be difficult for the Refs to know when to call& when not to?
What is the score? If it's 3 or more goals difference, the team up will get the penalty. Why? Because the sponsors don't want a big goal spread, for fear of the TV viewers will turn the Ch.
Even score,..a European will get one every time, especially if it's a Russian. It's how they keep N/A's up in the scoring, satisfying a huge N/A audience.
Anything is hooking anymore. All the penalties that get called in todays game are jokes. Then there are some things that should be penalties that are never called. Officiating in the NHL is a joke anymore.
for everyone saying this would be a hook in today's game, if you look closely he never actually "hooks" Gretzky, only used the bottom part of the shaft of his stick to slightly leverage him off. pretty clean ;)
@tintin025 actually if you look at the first attempt he got him up in the chest area the second one almost gets him in the face I would have called a penalty then but the stick lift I agree absolutely legal but the first two i would have called hooking even then he was trying to lift the stick but he did get him with the hook to slow him down to get the stick lift
@Texan2525 Not even close. Watch some tapes from these older games. Guys would literally pull the player in front of them backwards. This was minor. No doubt it would get called in todays game and probably lead to a suspension, but this was good hockey. To many pussies coming into the league these day.
@tintin025 It was clean, but the problem is it may well be a penalty in today's game. Today's game sucks and that's a reason why. I can't stand seeing things like that being called penalties but it happens a lot. Perfectly good defensive play though.
@tintin025 actually it would be a hook in todays game because before he took the puck off him his stick came up and was parallel to the ice which is a hook :)
I was like...a little child of 4-7 during 1990s and didn't know shit about hockey...Now I look at all those videos, I've missed a lot! If only I was a little older!
@TheQneb That was a totally clean steal. He just lifted his stick, I'm sure Gretzky would agree. Anyway, Fedorov was the greatest defensive forward I've ever seen, he even played an entire season as a defenseman, and THE single most beautiful skater ever. Watching him skate was honestly like a religious experience. I'm a Leafs fan (please, spare me the insults) and I love the guy. Hockey was 100x better in those days, unless you like 40 mins of penalties per game to inflate goal averages.
@ViaggioFM I agree on most of that. Fedorov was amazing at his peak - first and only player to win the Hart and Selke in he same season ( 1993-94 ) and his skating was unreal. Hockey was definitely better then - by far. Today's game sucks, yet they keep trying to tell us fans how it's the "New NHL" and how much better it is. 20 penalties a game in order to artificially create goals, like us REAL hockey fans are too stupid to see through that. It aint the goals its the play, and the play sucks,
Back then they let them hook and grab and stuff to make games less goal parties, today they dont let them do anything and try to make em more goal parties... What goes around, comes around.
Now imagine if Gretzky played in the 80's against players like Fedorov, Zetterberg or Datsyuk who backcheck, he would never have had any 90+ goal/200+ pt seasons.
@Scarecrow76 Not true, he had plenty of hard nosed players on him throughout most of the 80's but they had to pay for it by facing Blake, McSorley and MacTavish. When Gretzky was sent to the Blues it was basically the end of his career, he was rather underwhelming with the Rangers (as are most near retirement players the Rangers tend to pick up).
Idk man, he sure as hell didn't seem underwhelming to me. He was 5th in scoring his first year with the Rags and was awesome in the playoffs. He was 4th in scoring in his second year. Both those years he had 90 plus points. His last year he had 67 points and then retired. He still put up better numbers then most nhlers that retire these days.
Hockey was so much better back then. I hate the new rules. Nowadays that move on Gretzky would have cost Federov 2 mins in the box. I watched this game buy the way.
Must have gotten carried away with nostalgia there..I totally would put Vladdie's #16 up in the rafters over Sergei's, no question, but if you look at his numbers in a Wing uniform, not only are they worthy of Hall of Fame consideration, its also worthy of his number being raised to the rafters. But, Vladdie is more deserved of it.
First off....wow great quality video! I haven't seen a video with such good quality before 2000's on youtube! secondly if this was in the NHL today its sad because fedorov would of been called on "hooking"! It's sad how they have wrecked the league!
@stew918 I always thought the same thing when I watched him in the 90s. That signature stride of his made him stand out from everyone else :) Heck, he was fast enough he was playing offense AND defense on the same shift. He and Belfour were my favs and I'm a St Louis fan lol
funny how really skilled players react when they get out worked for the puck. Gretzky could have went after Fedorov after losing posession but pealed the other way. beneath him to fight to get it back, that was the grinders job,not his.
@lukesepp He was great for the Wings indeed, his jersey will never hang from the rafters though. I GUARANTEE IT, the way he left Detroit sealed that storybook ending. Mike Illitch had already made comments on this anyway. He blew off the notion he would ever retire his number.
This is an incredible video. It really shows you how good Fedorov was defensively. He even played defense for a period during the 1997 season. I have never seen Wayne backcheck like that in my life. He's def a future hall of famer. I'm sad to hear about his financial problems though.
@brianCIM He had a friend invest his money and apprently lost somewhere in the neighboorhood of 40 million dollars. The investors name was Joseph Zada and Fedorov wasn't the only person who was swindled. This was in 2009. I think Mike Modano had the same thing happen to him too. If you want to know more, do a google search.

@stew918 I always thought the same thing when I watched him in the 90s. That signature stride of his made him stand out from everyone else :) Heck, he was fast enough he was playing offense AND defense on the same shift. He and Belfour were my favs and I'm a St Louis fan lol

Im an Avalanche fan, and boy do I hate Detroit, but definitely have to give respect to players like Federov. That guy had some some fast legs

funny how really skilled players react when they get out worked for the puck. Gretzky could have went after Fedorov after losing posession but pealed the other way. beneath him to fight to get it back, that was the grinders job,not his.

@lukesepp He was great for the Wings indeed, his jersey will never hang from the rafters though. I GUARANTEE IT, the way he left Detroit sealed that storybook ending. Mike Illitch had already made comments on this anyway. He blew off the notion he would ever retire his number.

This is an incredible video. It really shows you how good Fedorov was defensively. He even played defense for a period during the 1997 season. I have never seen Wayne backcheck like that in my life. He's def a future hall of famer. I'm sad to hear about his financial problems though.

@chrisconnell financial problems? What exactly happened? i hadn't heard that so please fill me in. Thanks

@brianCIM He had a friend invest his money and apprently lost somewhere in the neighboorhood of 40 million dollars. The investors name was Joseph Zada and Fedorov wasn't the only person who was swindled. This was in 2009. I think Mike Modano had the same thing happen to him too. If you want to know more, do a google search.
