And they had Paul Coffey until midway through the '91/'92 championship season as well. <br /><br />So I wouldn't exactly say Lemieux didn't have any help either. No doubt Lemieux was hampered by poor health though. My only comment is that he never acheived the greatest among them all status that Gretzky and Jordan hold. That's all. <br /><br />Damn, now I really want to go back and play the old NHL hockey games on genesis.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-2443622840196138562007-02-06T15:27:00.000-05:002007-02-06T15:27:00.000-05:00Well, that's a good point.

Montana never won without Jerry Rice, Gretzky without Messier.<br />Lemiuex is probably closer to Namath or Bo Jackson.<br /><br />Jordan has one of those dominant careers that are unique to basketball, like Shaq, Bill Russell and Jordan. Hockey doesn't have that, unless we look at the goalies, who just aren't that famous outside the game. Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur dominated eras, but just aren't that popular to outsiders. Which is too bad, really.solomonrexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422035530978145136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-36195997845812305182007-02-06T15:24:00.000-05:002007-02-06T15:24:00.000-05:00Wrong, Gretzky made those players better especiall...Wrong, Gretzky made those players better especially Kurri and Coffey.<br />In his first year he scored 137 points playing with Brett Callighen and B. J. MacDonald, household names those are. MacDonald scored 46 goals. <br /><br />Second year up to 164 points playing with Callighen and rookie Kurri, sure he was going to become a good player but not then. <br /><br />Third year 212 points, playing mostly with Kurri (32 whopping goals) and Dave Lumley or Callighen. Messier and Anderson had good seasons but mostly played on the second line. <br /><br />etc etc etc<br /> <br />Gretzky baseball and football type equivalents:<br /><br />100 Hr's and 250 rbi's a<br />60 TD passes <br />40 points/game in BBall<br /><br />Those type of #'s and you have Gretz. <br />Slightly better than Steve Nash who I like but no comparison!!!Patriots64https://www.blogger.com/profile/15787034853382760764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-9575722901655271732007-02-06T15:08:00.000-05:002007-02-06T15:08:00.000-05:00@Todd

He was a...I don't agree with the Gretzky comments. He was a player that needed others around him. Remember, he amassed most of his stats when other hall of famers and all-stars were playing with him (Messier, Kurri, Coffey, MacTavish, etc.). Whereas, Lemieux made all-stars and 40 goal, 100 point players out of Rob Brown and Dan Quinn.<br /><br />Also, Gretzky always needed an enforcer on his line to make sure he wasn't harrassed (McSorley). One of my favorite hockey moments was when Lemieux instigated a fight and was thrown out of a playoff game against the Caps. The Penguins won in 4OT on a Petr Nedved goal.<br /><br />I think Lemieux was hampered by poor health. Without which he would have broke most of Gretzky's record. If you look at his cancer season, had he played the whole season he would have obliterated Gretzky's goals and points/season records. I do think however, that Gretzky's 163 assists will never be beaten, but then again, that says a lot about him.<br /><br />I would equate Gretzky as an even better version of Steve Nash.<br /><br />Go BC!verbal97https://www.blogger.com/profile/02282148454169067288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-40550635450698129362007-02-06T15:00:00.000-05:002007-02-06T15:00:00.000-05:00@ generik

Both guys completely transcended their sports with their individual dominance, more than I think Lemieux did. Really Jordan, Gretzky, and Ruth sit in their own sports pantheon, looking down at everyone else. To me, Lemieux is closer to a Shaq or a Hakeem, where they had a few years where they might've been the best, but will never be considered better than Gretzky/Jordan. <br /><br />Erg, should have known there might be a Notre Dame fan lurking somewhere. At least BC owns you guys in football (4-0) the last 4 times they've played.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-6450846324743656082007-02-06T14:16:00.001-05:002007-02-06T14:16:00.001-05:00agreed pats.
