@@v4v819 Yes, this super league where Joe Pavelski had a season a couple of years ago as a 38 year old where he put up a point per game. And he put up 77 points as 39 year old. Yes, Joe Pavelski who is slow as molasses, and isn't a world class stick handler scored 81 points in 82 games. Steven Stamkos as a 34 year old just put up 40 goals and 81 points in 79 games. Jaromir Jagr as a 43 year old put up 66 points in 79 games in 2015-2016. Sidney Crosby as a 36 year old just put up 94 points in 82 games. He put 93 points in 82 games as 35 year old. This league is great right now. But there's no need to try put down the people from the past just to make yourselves feel better about what this current generation is doing. Stop with the nonsense. We're talking a Pavel Bure in his prime. With no one hooking or surfing on him all the way up the ice. With no red line. And with the same equipment they use nowadays. With way more of a killer instinct about scoring goals than most of the league now. He would be at least just as good if not better.

@@lookinforthe70s You really would put your Bure scoring more than McDavid or Ovechkin? For pure goal scoring prowess- all he had- i'd take a prime Stamkos over Prime Bure... You're high, bruhhh!!!
He also played with the RED LINE !!!! That's MASSIVE !!!!! 60 goals in a slash and grab hockey with a RED LINE !!!!! That's where todays nhl is trying to fudge numbers ... put that red line back in and watch most have a hard time hitting 40 .
I agree he was Mcdavid things ! I remember watching the world he’s I can’t exactly what year but watching him on a line with mogilny/federov was insane!
Connor can not even hold Bure’s jock strap . McDavid is not as impressive because he can’t move at Mach 3 speeds while simultaneously pulling off insane puck handling moves when moving at Mach 3 speeds. A lot of players are fast - without the puck - then they get the puck and are forced to slow to still handle effectively but Bure was in a league of his own as he did NOT have to do that . Bure was unique in that his puck handling ability didn’t change a bit when shifting gears to missile speed. Not one smidge. He was also unique in the way he could shift from lower gear to higher gear with very few strides unlike many of the so-called fast players of today like McDavid. Lastly apart from one stand out season goal wise from McDavid well beyond that he is not the same goal scorer ( average goals per game ) that Pavel was. Not in the least. The majority of McDavids points come from assists and to me that is not as impressive as someone like Bure who consistently put up 60 goal seasons and 50 goal seasons ( mostly by his own will alone ) while playing on a bum knee and through concussions in a vastly more physical era . Bure also protected himself like no other goal scorer before him . Man was straight up nasty if you ever dared cheap shot him. Ask Shane Chura during the 94 playoffs. Bure was one of a kind and very rare ( we may never see another like him ever again ). His skating stride , power , grace , explosive and agility alone are still unmatched ( to be completely accurate ) and in no way can McDavid be compared to him . That’s an insult.
Not as fast not as good... He one dimensional but among the best goal scorers of his era! Could fly out there but modern players have squashed the gap that he had with his era's competitors because of his Russian training which they all get now...

I agree that the NHL game is much faster today than when Bure played. Players can puck handle as good as Bure? Who? Bure could come down the ice. at full speed, and drop the puck in his skates and bump the puck back on his stick. I watched this guy a LOT! I watched Gretzky and many others, but no one could shoot and stick handle like this guy at full speed. I have not seen anyone do what Bure did.
My favorite player ever. Cheers from BC
He was an absolute beast
Boston College?
Mine too. Cheers from Montreal.
Imagine with new skates , new sticks and new rules , he will be faster than the flash
Oh god. I would have loved to have seen Pavel Bure play in this modern era.
Same here, he was so electric

scored all of his goals with a stick in his mid section...."defense" used to be crazy

That’s a really good point too
Not to mention 3 on 3 overtimes. You can't even compare today's game and it's "stars" to 80s and 90s hockey. Today's players play on easy mode.
The speed Kinda reminds me of Connor McDavid
Ikr he was insanely fast
This!! From day one Connor reminded me of a much bigger Pavel Bure

No . Vancouver Legend. No one cares about the Panthers and he suited up for them for a measly two seasons and then wanted to get the fug out .
