Facetious title, of course. Yes, I know he did (obviously). But I cannot think of an incident where Mario Lemieux got really cold-cocked by a hit.
Yeah, there was Kasparitus "Brad-Marchanding" him in the playoffs, but did he hit/check Mario? I can't recall. And he had a pretty good fight in about his 3rd or 4th career game back in '84, but I don't recall that he was hit, per se, prior.
We can cite incidents of Gretzky (McCreary, Suter, others), or various other star players of the era getting "caught in the trolley-tracks" as Don Cherry used to say, but I cannot remember Mario getting really laid-out.
(Of course, part of the reason might be his large physical size.)
Can anyone recall when Mario got nailed?
