Gretzky may be the most prolific player in history, but talent for talent,
he is not the best!  Can't imagine what Lemieux would have done with great
players like Messier, Kurri, Coffey, etc at his side, not being constantly
injusred, having cancer...  Well, you get the idea.

Well, at some point you have to evaluate *reality*, not "what ifs" and "what
could'ves".  In reality, Gretzky was and always will be the best.  I just can't
see any argument for any player being *better* holding water.

Don't think I love Lemieux, I hated him before last year.  I've always
thought he was selfish and cry-baby.  But you have to be honest, wow, on the
ice, he is unstoppable!

Agreed! Hate him??  He *destoyed* my North Stars [1] in their one and only Cup
appearance while in MN! But I do admit that, even today, he is amazing.

[1] Of course, I hate the Stars of today because of their exit from MN-- didn't
even cheer for them in the Cup.  Now we here in MN are stuck with an expansion
team that has horrible colors, and doesn't even have a plural name-- I *hate*
that!  Long live old-time hockey!  Eddie Shore! ;-)
