same. that 1992-93 season still in my opinion the greatest individual season ever in hockey history.

I wasn't. I lived through Wayne and Mario.

I'm 35. I was fortunate enough to have season tickets to the sabres 90-94 when they had mogilny and lafontaine. I was able to see alot of Lemieux and Jagr. They were as advertised...

I was 9 when they won that Cup, It was my first Stanley Cup Finals I watched on TV, great memories.

Me too

I remember it very well. Mario's son had been born days before. Also Stan Savran was on the broadcast w/ Mike Lange not Stiegy.

LOL

Might want to watch again. Lemieux wouldn't have fit the Broad Street Bullies or today's CCM Line, but he threw checks now and then and definitely had fights.

you werent even born when this game happened goober

@@bc1173 how tf would you know?

@@bc1173 what does it matter

The only one who could have surpassed Gretzky's total career points.

LMAO.. Ambassadors?? Wayne is doing gambling commercials FFS... Dirt bag

Actually, Mike Bossy is the all time GPG leader. He scored on over 21% of his shots, compared to Lemieux at a close 19%.

I have to agree, Mike Bossy

@@independentmind7782 Is that full-career Lemieux or pre-1998 Lemieux? His rates dropped significantly from 2000 to 2006 at the height of the Dead Puck Era. In any case, I think arguments can certainly be made for both, as well as others.

@@closethockeyfan5284 There’s nothing truly scientific about those numbers: different players, different era, different teams, etc. So yeah, an argument can be made either way. But looking strictly at stats / numbers, this is what you get.

Yup Bossy only played 572 or so games and is right up there with the guys that played over 1000 games

Plus wooden sticks

and then "retiring"

@@BarDownBoysya sadly he lost about 300-500 points easy .

Lemieux would've surpassed Gretzky for goals, but fall a bit short of points..

@@NYFanatic ya maybe so . I just hate the fact a lot of people tend to forget 99 actually had a decent team compared to 66

@@midnighttoker6997 A team with Francis, Stevens, Recchi, Tocchet, Coffey, Jagr, Mullen, Murphy, Trottier is actual pretty decent.

That’s a rumor that he hates it, it has never been stated anywhere

It real nice but unfortunately it always reminded me of David Volek n the Game 7 loss to Frigging Florida in 96

Volek's goal was in 93. Pens ran into Vanbiesbrouck who was on fire in 96. @@theodorebelmont7922

@@burny6666 true I should have said when he was out of the line up! Beast

My absolute favorite blues duo ever.

Meh, No debate. Mario is the GOAT.

and before the obstruction era ruined the game

Noice

pretty standard play tbh

2 line passes, clutching and grabbing, graphite sticks. Pretty simple. They modified countless rules to open up the game. Not to mention never having to worry about being hit

@@That90sShow no doubt the NHL has encouraged the speed of the modern game but I disagree entirely about not having to worry about being hit. People still get flattened on the regular and in general they are moving much faster when they hit now. There is less tolerance for blatant charging etc but even then tons of questionable hits are made every week. People may not like fighting but ultimately, you're way more at risk of a serious injury from an open ice hit or being boarded. As much as it stings my nostalgia to say it, I think the hockey being played today is generally superior to that of the 90s and earlier.

@@That90sShow lol nice story. Keep trying though he's still the GOATEST!!!

Fun fact: take away Gretzky's career goal totals and he'd still be top point getter of all time. Kind of tells you who the GOAT really is.

And yet Gretzky still had a higher career PPG average, despite playing in over 500 MORE games than Lemieux. Your PPG average doesn't increase with more games over the course of a career, it decreases. For all the "neckbeards" who still wanna say "but if Lemieux wasn't hurt/sick"...

@@johnthomas5314 Fun fact Wayne couldn't score 50 goals in his last 11 seasons.

@@That90sShow fun fact biggest whinner of all whiners is sidney girlie name crybaby. Most overrated player to put on skates.

How do you explain Ovechkin, then? He shouldn’t be as prolific as he is, no? Like Ovi, players like Stamkos, Crosby, Malkin, who have been around for a while but are still active, are also up there on the all time goal per game list. A “pure goal scorer” is just that: a pure goal scorer. They’ll find a way, no matter the size or style of the goaltender.

Lemieux and Gretz in their prime would score + 150 pt per season in todays NHL, Orr too These guys dealt with grabbing holding hooking hacking whacking and vicious slashing on a constant basis. With the space and freedom to maneuver todays sissified league provides they would laughably dominate. They would have todays overinflated goalies out of position with ease

@@independentmind7782 That's what makes Ovechkin in particular a marvel, as far as goals go. If Ovechkin played in the same years Gretzky played, we very well might have a different all-time goals leader. @T Vlad Eh, I don't think so. The real restrictions of the Dead Puck Era didn't affect Gretzky until his last two or three seasons when he was already in significant decline. Lemieux was affected only during his comeback, also his past-prime years. They dominated because positioning of both goalies and defenders was laughable in their heyday. On the contrary, they had more space and freedom to maneuver before the Dead Puck Era. Skilled players blew by and worked around shoddy defenses and inflexible goalies like nothing, and today's breed of fast and skilled players would've done the same if they had played back then. Now instead of facing Swiss cheese goalies and big, dopey, unskilled and unorganized pylons on defense, they're facing big, smart, skilled and coordinated defenders with the best and most consistent goaltending the game has ever seen.

Imagine if Mario had 2 line passes, better skates, graphite sticks, 3 on 3 OT, no clutching and grabbing, little hitting etc... Also Mario had a 1.8 ppg in 2001 (dead puck era) at 36 years old. And has 3 of the 4 greatest ppg seasons ADJUSTED FOR ERA in HISTORY. Also was the top scorer for Canada in the 2002 Olympics at 36 years old.. So keep making excuses why your heroes can't get close to Super Marios numbers

@@Mostlyonoff Lemieux was on pace for a 145 point season in 2001 at 35 years old. Much harder era than today. I think he would get 180+ points today in his prime, no problem.

Only on the power play. They didn’t play as s line

No, they did all season. PPG did a whole section on it. @@patrice5976

@@user-mt3uz5wm6k ну если посмотрите на эти кадры не такие они и голые.а образом таким что нападающих сейчас и тронуть нельзя,дожились что в хоккее стали удаления выпрашивать и в прокат играть.ни к борту прижать,ни клюшку.особенно меня умиляет когда клюшку выбивают.сам когда занимался хоккеем,так сразу учили клюшку крепко держать.вся команда издеваться будет если клюшку потеряешь.а правило что при удалении сразу вбрасывание в зону нарушителей переносится,не надо тратить время на вход в зону.а отмена красной линии,что ещё больше усложнило жизнь защите и упростило нападающим.это не говоря об экипировке.сейчас клюшка сама бросает,и в целом всё более лёгкое и удобное.
