It's a shame his comeback made his ppg lower than Gretzky's, but I still think he's a better player because I don't think even Gretzky could come back from cancer and play at an elite level. I just don't see Wayne having that much heart
-
Mario and Jagr on the same team
Holy shit!
-
@kergio17 Haha so true ! :P
-
@10barclayt But at 37, Gretzky finished 3rd in scoring with a shitty team in the dead-puck era.

@Irato99 Mario had 91pts in 67 games in 02-03 at the age of 37 on a team that finished next to last in the conference. Gretzky never proved that he could play just as well in the current game as he could back then. Mario did. Scoring in the 2000's was much harder and Mario, with his shitty team, was dominating the scoring race until he couldnt finish the season. He ended up 8th. Mario was the best player to ever play in the NHL and Gretzky was # 2 or 3 depending on how you feel about Orr.

@SuperYAGB sorry but no rangers player has the same skill level of Crosby
-
simply the best
-
@kergio17 Agreed. Lemieux could deke Gretzky back into the minors.

Math is not universal everywhere.
In hockey, 66 > 99

The only thing I'll say about this is that Mario came back not because he owned the team, or because the team was a sure bet for the Stanley Cup. When people asked him why he came back, it was "because my son Austin wanted to see me play". He could have told him no, and told the fans no, and no one would hold it against him.
But you know what? Mario wanted to come back. He's a competitor - and even in his thirties, with modest talent around him, still put up superb stats. All for his son. :)
