The best player of all time is Mario Lemieux

Lemieux best scorer. Gretzky best playmaker.

I'd even put Orr above Gretz as a better player.

Don Cherry thought so (that Orr was the best).

Mark Messier.

Won cups with him and without him.

Gretzky never won a cup without him.

[–] samoanjoes (51935) 4 months ago

Lemieux won a cup without Gretzky too!

[–] parkerbot (5822) 4 months ago

He only won 2 Stanley Cups as a player. With the same team.

Messier won 6 as a player. With two different teams.

You can have all the stats you want but your name on the cup is what counts.

Mario didn't have the dynasty around him like Messier.

[–] parkerbot (5822) 4 months ago

He elevated his teammates to his greatness.

Although, his inability to eat just one Lay's chip is disappointing.

Kowalski is the best player of all time.

[–] parkerbot (5822) 4 months ago

He is the certainly the best stray cat eater on this board.

I think his record is 14 in one sitting. He claims the right BBQ sauce makes all the difference.

[–] samoanjoes (51935) 4 months ago

Yeah, in the Kowalski league... and he's the only player there.
