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.
Lemieux won a cup without Gretzky too!
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.
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.
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.
Yeah, in the Kowalski league... and he's the only player there.
