Excuse me, when did he leave it? This man ages like fine wine!

As great as Gretzky and Lemieux were, what Orr did from the defenseman position is incredible. If those knees weren’t so bad who knows how many records he would have.

I was not a fan of Mario, I was a fan of Gretzky's. However I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed by him when he went on that 46 game scoring streak. Also battling cancer and managing to come back from that and still play like he never left, I can't help but admire him.

The two GOTs of the 1980s, Wayne & Mario played together in the 1987 Canada Cup. Canada 5, USSR 5 near the end of the 3rd period and it was Gretzky to Lemieux for the winning goal. Beauty. ruclips.net/video/Frtft0LUMiE/видео.html

Or handed me my Tim's coffee?

“Pitchburgh Penguins (sic)” Did the narrator take English lessons from Sean Connery?

I'm looking at this from the perspective of a Capitals fan. Mario was amazing. I remember one game in the mid-late 80s at the Capital Center where he had something like 5 goals against the Caps. The Penguins were not a good team at that point and he was basically all they had. The Caps had been a pretty good defensive team but they couldn't stop him that night.

brodeur was a good top goalie but i put him below patrick roy at his prime.

I love #66, and he was an amazing playmaker, but to say his IQ and vision was 2nd to none is a bit of a stretch. There is no possible universe Mario ever gets 163 assists in one season. He never even once hit Gretzky’s first 10 year average (120). His best assist season ever (114) is tied with Gretzky’s 8th best. He never even eclipsed 100 assists more than that one time. Gretz eclipsed 100 assists ELEVEN consecutive times and owns the top 7 assist marks. It’s not even close.

He can snap from angles

You dont know if hes gonna go five hoke or corners from a wrtister or breakawy

Thank you toball the hockey fams

If he would have had a personal trainer and nutritionist

With players like Ovechkin it's hard not to wonder how good he could have been if Gretzky was his centerman.

A team first push for the playoffs may leave him short of the goal record but satisfied with a look at a second Stanley Cup. Winning first is the game he grew up on, and I expect him to finnish that way. 🥅

Nothing like a little bit of old bay, the great 8 and getting scared shittless in Baltimore is there boys?

"By the age of seven he was _already_ on the ice...." That's actually a very late age to lace up for the first time for a future NHL player let alone a super star.

If you took away all his career goals that he scored he would still have to the most career points in the history of the nhl

We could of witness him going against Wayne only if he would of signed with Boston and have ownership

Amazing actually 🎉🎉😊

I spent 15 minutes to know that he did 100+ goals in his first years, 3 stanley cups and olympic, world and stanley gold ? goodluck finding more than a sentence who's not about his greatness, and not what he actually did. what a waste of time.

The voice-over is terrible. Mispronounces so many things, makes mistakes without editing them out and clearly isn't a hockey fan.

Let's not forget about the formidable contribution of the Captain in the winning of the three Stanley cups. The dynamic duo of Toews/Kane was lost after 2015. While Kane continued to perform he didn't have the leadership ability and the defense ability of Toews and Toews ability to lead by example was sapped by his health problems after 2015. To win another Cup after 2015 would have required both men to be at the top of their game. The Tazer/Kaner duo won those Cups.

Saw his famous 4 goal game against Tampa in person. In terms of what I've seen live? I've never seen anyone be able to take over a game on his own the way he used to. You have to remember how bad those early DC teams were. Pittsburgh drafted Flower, Malkin and Crosby with their 1st pics in a span of 3 years. So when people point to the Penguins early success I point to their front office for being brilliant in that period. Washington had a carousel in net until Holtby came along. In person I've never seen a player like him.

The man can't catch a break, can he. He put up playoff numbers we haven't seen since the 80's and early 90s by Gretzky and Lemieux. Mounts the biggest comeback in the finals since 1945(79 years), breaks the assists record. Only to lose 2-1 in game 7. Don't give me that regular season hero bullshit either. He has a higher points per game in the playoffs. Lemieux has 1.61 points per game in his career playoffs, McDavid has 1.58. He is not that far off. He is not Gretzky, because Gretzky was out of this world talent that may never be seen again.

Showtime

You forgot the Hobey Baker too.

Really a useless video.

REMEMBER, he only played a year or so with two good knees. This man could absolutely fly on skates . I wish he could have played 15 years on good knees. My Good God he was amazing ! NEVER mention Gretzky, Lemiux, or anyone else in the same ranking as him . He was and is the GREATEST HOCKEY PLAYER EVER!

There are few players who know and understand the game of hockey as well as Wayne Greztky. Wayne played with a great team during the 1980s in Edmonton. The team was amazing and they proved it when they won the cup without him in 1990.

He is like Messi maybee a bit less dominant but extremly impressive

2005-2010 Ovechkin was one of the most dominant player in NHL history.

Some people think Wayne Gretzky was the best hockey player all around but Gordie Howe did not have a bodyguard Mr Hockey when you got the puck he delivered the mail

Lets never forget that ovi have one trophy that syd can never have

Bobby had 9 Hatricks in one Season as a Defenseman.

Also, out of all the great ones Bobby was the last to back out of a fight. He held his own.

You nay sayers be like… that era was so much different , than say Lemieux is number 1 ! Like honestly

Mario's skills were otherworldly. Even Gretzky acknowledged that. Just the fact that Mario is even in the same conversation as Gretzky is testament to how truly great he was. I think Gretzky had the greatest career of any professional athlete in history...in any sport. But Mario was pretty close. Orr was the best skater, Mario had the most skill, but Gretzky is still at the top.

Easily top three most consistent players of all time

Mario was the best natural goal scorer ever.Gretz overall is 1 Lemieux 1 A ifMario would of stayed healthy He would of challenged for some of Gretzky's records.

Allan eagleson screwed Bobby Orr out a lot of money that Orr made through BIC commercials and many more .

He put over 200 points in a season. Isn't he the only one to do it?

I had a chance meeting with Wayne on a flight to Toronto 15 years ago. He was intensely interested in my scholarly work and forthcoming book examining the Bolshevik role in the Russian Civil War. I was really impressed with, first, his curiosity and probing questions- and frankly quite surprised by his depth of knowledge when it came to the ideological foundations of the Bolshevik movement, including Marxist theory, Leninism, and the writings of key figures like Vladimir Lenin. I knew of his genius of finding and capitalizing on open ice but his intelligence on this narrow but important slice of history really floored me. Great guy!

people are quick to point out the devils defensive style but what they ignore or fail to realize is you couldn't dump and chase against marty because of his puck skills, ultimately forcing teams to try and skate and pass through those all star defenders. He was literally like a 3rd defensemen out there and like the video stated the NHL changed the rule to keep marty and the devils from being dominant. It's not like he just sat back there twiddling his thumbs and racking up wins/shutouts

HE WAS A GOD THAT WALKED AMONG US

The 2012 playoff run should not be overlooked. No more Stevens. No more Niedermayer. No more trap. And Marty (who was well past his prime) still outdueled the #1 goalie in the NHL at the time in the EC finals (Lundqvist), and just came up short to win a 4th cup against the Kings. To me, that deep run proved all the naysayers wrong that it was the 'system' that made Marty successful. In the end, he proved it was his mastery of the hybrid style, his consistency, endurance, amazing stickhandling and a fierce glove hand. His wins and shutout records won't be broken for generations, maybe never.

Надеюсь он станет,,Величайшим" его игра это именно то за что я полюбил эту игру...

Mario > Wayne

Goat shit.

How in the world did a defenseman have as many points in that era. Just amazing.
