Gretzky's fans have taken over.8 MVPs and 9 Rosses in a decade is so messed up lol
The rap against #99 is he couldn't fight. Fighting was an essential skill in the 80s NHL.

Statistical totals are just one metric, best player can be defined in many ways. For example the one with the highest peak ability which could very well be seen in favor of Lemieux.
Mario also suffers from, well, only entering NHL during the second half of the decade. That gives Gretzky an innate advantage when wanting to span the entire decade, he was there for the entirity of it.

Lemieux was drafted and debuted in 1984, became the best player in the league by 1987.He entered in 1983, far from only entering in the second half of the decade! Mario could have played the exact amount of games as Gretzky and Gretz still would be the better player for the 80s.
Literally ZERO people cared even 1 iota about fighting when it came to Gretzky.
Yeah, Gretzky would drop to the 2nd place every time Krutov comes out of a drinking binge.One could say that Mario was better in the late 80’s. But Gretzky was at least top 2 player the whole decade.
