Greatest NHL Duo in History. Does anyone else agree with me?
P.S. If you have never seen them play together then dont answer becuase you could not possible comprehend how absolutely amazing they are.

Well, watch this video and see. It features a certain player saying that they were the greatest duo- oe that has been mentioned several times in here.
Yup, it's the great one. He thinks they're greater of a pair then he and Kurri.

Shows how much hockey you've seen. Kariya and Selanne? How about Gretzky and Kurri? Lemieux and Jagr? Esposito and Orr? Hull and Mikita? Howe and Lindsey? Clarke and Barber? Oates and Hull? The Richard Brothers? Beliveau and Geoffrion? Trottier and Bossy? I'll take any of these other duos over your Kariya and Selanne. All but Oates and Hull won the Cup, for one thing. And Brett Hull scored 86 goals playing with Adam Oates. Don't get me wrong. Kariya and Selanne were a great duo, but guess what? They don't even make the top 10 ever. Stop being such a homer.

As a Blues fan, even I'm stunned by that statement! They had one, maybe 2 good seasons together?
Any way, you hosers, it was HULL & OATES, not the other way around! I still remember the poster they had mocking the (in)famous rock duo. Too bad Adam grew a big head and Brett grew a bigger mouth, or those two could have made a lot of history together!

Ohhhh how i wish selanne would come to St. Louis....
But no, i don't think they are the greatest duo ever. Frankly, i would have to say Oates and Hull, but i'm a little biased.
I'd also have to say Gretzky and Kurri are up there as well.

You must be 15 years old, that is the only possible justification for your uniformed opinion.
I would go more into detail regarding the overall lack of intelligence in this question and just how disrespectful it is to hockey historians everywhere, but I will assume that you are too young to have seen or at least read about the talent of many of the others who were better and leave it at that.

No chance. The best duo in history has to be Gretzky + Kurri. Lemieux and Jagr were good but the Gretzky Kurri combo hands down the best ever.
The Gretzky and Lemieux duo was nice to watch in the Canada Cup final.

Pavel and Igor.
Wing to Wing doesn't jive, how about Mario + x = 50 plus - minus crack whore in East St. Louis. Sorry about that Kevin Stevens.
Oates and Hull were dirty in the early 90's Lindros and LeClair in the late 90's but since then and during #8 and 9 time they didn't really do much in or make the post-season that often.

They're darn good but not good gosh damn good like The Great One and Kurri.
Can you imagine if Teemu signs w/the Blues? Can you say Brian Burke bursts a blood vessel? lol
* If I were Teemu I'd sign w/the Blues. Bertuzzi and Weight are way too slow to try to keep up w/Teemu. 2 Turtles one Flash Line..lol Think about it T..yeah right as if he's reading this...lmao The Blues= Andy, Paul, Boyes, and Keith T...hmmmmm what a choice...
LOL bad bad Erica..lol

Really? I thought Gretzky and Kurri was the greatest duo in NHL history? Gretzky and Messier? Richard and Beliveau? Howe and Lindsay?
.....did Howe and Lindsay even play together...?
LOL @ Erica....K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!
