Let's put it this way...

if Bure played in the 80's on the oilers he would have more goals than gretzky. maybe even points.

bure was a goal scorer, Dynamic player! he was my fav, but He didnt have the Hockey IQ gretzkey has! He used explosivness to make seams and thats how he scored and thats why people like watching him play! he wasnt a playmaker by any means! although he could get assists! but truly a pure goal scorer! I dont think he would be able to do much more then what he did. the way he played and his size! it was only a matter of time before they injured him!!

No way Bure out-points Gretzky, but I do believe Bure would've scored 100 goals in a season playing in the 80's

I'm from Vancouver so I'm a little bias when saying I think Pavel is the best, but coming from you who lives all the way on the other coast who barely could see any Canucks games that's really something. Nice comment.

Always nice hearing this from people on the outside looking in. Thanks for the comment.

Thank god I was born in '85 so I could grow up and watch him. After seeing his first game I fell in love with the game of hockey.

Learn why we let him go before you accuse the Canucks of being the bad ones.

I am from Pittsburgh.. Watched Mario growing up. Still I maintain that Pavel Bure was the best ever to lace 'em up. I will argue that until my dying day. Nobody could touch this kid.period. I believe that he took a lot of cheap shots from guys over jealousy and the fact that he was Russian. Dudes couldn't hang so they let the goon squad take over. Still after how many knee surgeries he was burning folks. Enough said.
