I'll be honest I just thought what came to mind as my username.
But I really don't understand why there's this almost unanimous decision to have Gretzky be considered the best.
I hear most old timers say nobody will ever be better than the Rocket and I gotta admit they have a good point, he played for 17 full seasons, in his first he only played 16 games and he was the most prolific goal scorer of his era and nobody even compared to him in his day. Oh...he did win 10 Stanley Cups......
Then there's Bobby Hull, led the league in scoring for 7 seasons and then spend how many seasons in the WHA?
Bobby Orr....nuff said.
Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy were the two most productive goal scorers with the highest Goals Per Game average.
And I haven't yet mentioned Gordie Howe or Mark Messier the longevity of their point production was pretty amazing.
In terms of players period, goalies also play hockey lol.
