This is awesome!! Thanks for sharing. The crazy thing is, as great as Mario was in junior, he was even more physically impressive in the NHL when he filled out and his skating became polished. Look at him here in this video--he looked like Bambi skating around out there.

I know right!? Was 100% expecting it to look like the video was shot using a potato, but was pleasantly surprised with this. Clearly was shot using some high end stuff from back in the day, and not the regular camera they used to film games with (junior games werent normally filmed anyways).

man i forgot how skinny young pre-monster pads roy looked.
really interesting synchronicity between those two careers.
born on the same day as we all know
1985: calder for mario, calder cup for roy
1986: pearson for mario, smythe for roy
1989: peak statistical regular seasons for both guys
1992: consensus best forward and goalie in the game and no one would say different
1993: totally completely legendary peaks
2001: comeback seasons
2003: last real mario season, roy retires
