Don't really follow hockey, you really think he's better than Gretzky?

Don't really follow hockey, you really think he's better than Gretzky?Ā nawh, not as of right now. i donāt follow hockey all that much tho so my opinion doesnāt really matter but quite a few of my friends that are diehards (a couple of oiler ones, a new york rangers one and a flames one) think that heās more talented than the great one and that if he wins a couple of cups heāll have cemented himself as the š a couple of them have dads thatāve watched both players and they say the same thing too. as far as i know the eras are just so different so itās hard to compare at the end of the day. iām a very, very casual fan tho (donāt really watch except for some playoff games) so my opinion weighs even less than all of the wnba opinions going on atm

And I don't think championships mean anything on an individual level in hockey, it's more like baseball in that regard than basketball where there's only 5 guys on the floor or QB's in football where they're so central to the team's success.

What was so remarkable about Gretzky is he was actually clearly LESS talented than several peers - certainly Lemieux - heck he wasn't even the best skater on his own teams.......and yet he is the GOAT almost solely for his insane vision / hockey IQ........McDavid to me is more like Eric Lindros if people remember him - but far greater i love Gretzky's stats - particulariy this one: Nobody has ever scored 200 ponts.........but Gretzky did.............4 times Side note : Championships matter in hockey - a lot - imo - there is NO top 10 "greatest" player without a Cup win ....... except McDavid and without it - it does hurt him.........it would be like Messi w/out a World Cup .......sorta.........

Ok, ngl if Connor McDavid orchestrates a series comeback against a great Florida team - and he's already somehow shaken Bobrovsky to the fncking bench - it will be talked about in an awe-inspiring way........among the 6 people who talk hockey I mean ![:uhoh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/c8bbBnLz3a98Jzy_29H2.gif) This is going 7 right? ![](https://j.gifs.com/KZgNMY.gif)
