He swung his stick at his wrist like he was chopping a tree with an axe. He's a pussy because it broke his hand?

The only way you could stop Mario back then was to cheapshot him. Cancer couldn't even stop him.

Nobody returns from a broken wrist in a week. It's physically impossible. Sprained, maybe, but Mario came back in the next series and ran wild. That was great acting. I'd like to see the x-rays.

Adam Graves, not Wayne Gretzky. Maybe the next time you're off your meds and decide to lash out, you should read what you're replying to. Have a nice day!

Your great ambassador of the game drove phoenix into bankruptcy,while mario has run his team to becoming the most profitable team in the league.So wayne was below mario on the ice,and in the front office.

Yo know nothing about hockey if you think that.

Oh my God,anyone and i mean anyone who thinks Gretzky was the greatest ATHLETE EVER,is not only blind but stupid,Jim Brown,Bo Jackson,Deion Sanders,Michael Jordan,David Thompson,Lebron James,Dave Winfield,Jesse Owens,Jackie Robinson,Jim Thorpe,Jerry Rice,enough?? By the way,but you can't name the only player to retire from hockey averaging over 2 pts a game,it ain't number 99...

[Joe Roberts]

I understand you're very passionate about your favorite player Mario, but to say Gretzky cant hold Marios jock is absurd. Gretzky is the not only the greatest hockey player but greatest ATHLETE in ANY sport. EVER. Please dont disrespect him like that. This is not a knock on Mario, but Gretzky had his share of health problems as well. After 1991 he had severe back problems yet still amassed a massive amount of points.

Lemieux scored a goal and an assist on a day he had radiation treatment for cancer,Gretzky couldn't even locate Mario's jockstrap

[joeipp98]

You're talking about an incredible ambassador for the NHL. Someone who has arguably done more for community service and outreach than any other player in NHL history, have a little more respect. With that being said, it was a bad play, deserving of a suspension, and unfortunate that a hockey legend like Mario had to miss games with a broken hand/wrist.

[baron34gr]

Mario was the biggest diver and crybaby of all time, and he's been teaching Cindy Crosby very well. Mario couldn't hold Gretzky's jock strap.

rangers played so dirty and they still couldnt win. that pens team was one of the best of all time

[alexrad1985]

Graves is a piece of garbage. That was a vicious and very random violent act regardless of how much mario got injured. Sticks hurt like hell when they're used like that. No place in hockey for a loser thats going to act like that.
