true, marty kept wayne safe. but stevie had the two toughest guys ever in probert and kocur watching his back. guys like grezkey, lemieux and yzerman are in a league by themselves.
The game should be played like steve played it no gatoraid commercials and rbk crap teams need captains that play for the love of the game and lead by example now its just who ever the media likes
Stevie Y is one of the greatest hockey players of all time. He's twice the man Wayne was because he got hit. He didn't have anyone take a hit for him. I wish I was able to have seen more of his games. What an ambassador to the game. Long live #19!!!
Yes he did get hit more, but someone comes to mind PROBERT who took many hits for him in his early years thats why he was able to play as many games as he did. I love the guy but look at the numbers Gretzky is on another level..

"He didn't have anyone take a hit for him"
how the fuck can another player "take a hit" for you in hockey. thats retarded beyond belief. its not like some other player was tied to gretzky with a 5 feet leash or something. just kill yourself for being a complete moron.
and if you werent clueless on top of being stupid, you would know gretzky had a knack for evading checks. that explains in large part why he didnt get hit much.
Go to the detroit red wing site...and then go to multimedia,....then go to the video archives and then select January 2007 and go to the 2nd and its on there

Stevie Y is on the Mount Rushmore of Detroit sports. What a classy player, a great player, a great leader. Captain for 20 years. What a guy.
