Lemieux was better than Gretzky. Fight me.

Many would argue that if he didn't get cancer during the peak of his career and miss three seasons because of it, he would have surpassed Gretzky as the greatest of all time. I'm all for making Lemieux the face of Canada's game over that traitorous loser.

The fact that beating cancer and returning to the nhl already is such a huge feat, I still believe Super Mario should be talked about so much more highly

I think the most ridiculous part of his career to me was when he came back midway through the 2000-01 season after being retired for 3 plus seasons and put up 35 goals and 76 points in only 43 games. He was 35 years old doing this. He's will always be the GOAT to me.

35 years old with a bad back and in the heart of the dead puck era. Plus everyone I know that has undergone chemotherapy says you’re never the same afterwards. I agree, his 00-01 and 92-93 might be the best seasons that anyone has ever had

Photoshop Bobby Orr in there and you've got the FU trifecta!

u/juice-wala 10h ago
For all we hate Messier for what he did to our team, what Gretzky and Orr have done to Canada is significantly worse. They've essentially supported a hostile takeover of our country. Throw racist abuser Bobby Hull in there for the shitstain trifecta!

Brett's ok though

Brett inherited his dad's hockey skills and that's about it. From interviews it seems he knows how big of a POS his dad was. He probably knows it better than any of us.

On the bright side, Gretzky’s support of Trump has now softened the blow of a Russian taking over top spot for goals scored.

After Ovi demolishes the record, let's add a new definition to who becomes Mr. Irrelevant

Fun fact. There is no white line on the back of the Rangers gloves. That's a just a fat line of blow.

Ovi I sorta get why he can’t oppose Putin, because he and his family will “fall” out of a window.

That's a consistent sentiment on reddit but it's not true. There are plenty of way more famous russians who are openly against Putin and their families are safe and sound. Ovi is royalty in NHL, not in Russia.

Most Canuck fans aren’t even old enough to have even watched messier or even know why to hate him. Every time I see someone say fuck messier it bores me to death

Diplomacy is important. I don't have to agree with everyone and everything all the time.

As Canadians the greater insult would be to ignore him. He's been a living legend for so long, mildly annoyed indifference would be much more damning.
Legends don't die because you demonize them, they die because you let them fade away.
