You sir are clearly out of your mind. Mario was injured half his career…. There is only one great one and his Jersey has been retired!! 99 is and always will be the GOAT!
Mario played against my Leafs and I watched the game. Even the late great Pat Quinn who was the leaf coach said it didn’t matter they lost. It was better for hockey that Mario was back
There's a recent video of Gretzky (he was pretty drunk, and likely has an alcohol problem, but that's another story) who said that Mario was better than him and would have broken all his records if he could gave remained healthy.
Mario versus Wayne. Who was the greatest? I saw both in their prime and they went about things different, they were different physically, but their end result was the same. Mario was stronger and bigger, but do not underestimate Wayne's physical abilities. Both have a mind and an eye for the game that I haven't seen since. McDavid might be the closest to it but off. Their had a cerebral understanding of what was on the ice. The two smartest players I have ever seen. Messier, Yzerman, Sakic, Savard, etc. all those guys were great players but never had the cerebralness of those two.
You're lost if you don't think McDavid is every bit as good as Wayne and Mario. For goodness sake he's playing in the salary cap era. If he wasn't he'd be surrounded with talent like Wayne and Mario. He would hit 200 many of times.
Im a Gretzky fan boy, I own maybe 40 of his cards, and I'll even admit, Mario Lemieux is the greatest player Ive ever seen

Numbers ain’t always everything, if we bring them to per game, Mario is just there in some numbers even better.
@@tomislavgrozdanicnot to mention #99 was surrounded by hall of fame players during his career.
sherlock holmes over here
Jagr is a phenom in his own right.
Mario was something else
Greats talkiing about greats. Gotta love it.

That was a magical game. It really wasn't an important game, just another mid-season regular season game.
But it ended up being so special.
I love this story !
Mario is the GOAT
That's incredible.
That was a great story.
The measure of a man.The world needs more like him.

Thanks 👍
Great story
And that’s exactly what it was haha
Steve Latin is first class and a legend.
Sports comeback are the best stories. Lemieux Lafleur Woods and Jagr to some extent.
If you were any good and played with Mario, you were guaranteed 50 goals !
I liked Robby Brown, but he would have never sniffed 40 goals but for Mario.
Still laugh about Hexstall chasing him around after he scored on him.
1723 points in 915 games
Let that sink in.
(That's 1.88 ppg btw)

I agree. I'd put Crosby up there too for hockey IQ

Jagr as Pens captain only knew how to play for himself Mario made EVERY player around him better
Jagr is his own way is a nice guy and certainly was a great player, but he did not have the personality of a leader.
@@angeurbain6129he was not

Jagr was great but he was NO Mario
Amen his little brother
@@theodorebelmont7922MARIO JR
Jagr was better. Look at the NHL all time scoring list 😎
@@johnkoho1245 Young man please don't embarrass yourself. Jagr better than Mario? Please stop. For your sake.
