stats, stats, stats. i understand the meaning of gretzky's 2, 800 points. I don't degrade him because of it. I admire him because of it, and I seriously doubt anyone would reach that total in this day of age, no matter how good they are. The nhl is different than it was in the 70's-80's.
but why is gretzky viewed as the "best player" the nhl has ever seen. In my mind, lemieux should own that title. There is only ONE STAT, that really matters when you compare such greats, and that is POINTS PER GAME.....NOT POINTS!! Lemieux averaged 2.0-2.1 points per game before he came back from his retirement, he had 1,700 pts in about 900 games! Gretzky played something like 1,500 games and averaged around 1.9. Those who argue this, should at least consider this evidence. again, i am not taking anything away from gretzky. the man was unstoppable and i understand that.
