So who was better, Mark Messier or Miles Davis?
That's a tough one, as I love them both.
Miles sits in with Bird in Harlem = Mess in the WHA
Birth of the Cool = Mess's 1981-82 50-goal season
1955 Newport Jazz Festival /
'Round About Midnight = Mess's 1982-1984 all star seasons
First Quintet = Mess's 1984 Conn Smythe
Miles Ahead / Kind of Blue = Mess's 1984 to 1988
Sketches of Spain = Mess's 1989-90 Hart trophy
Second Quintet = Mess's first few seasons in New York
In A Silent Way / Bi***es Brew = Mess's 1994 Stanley Cup in New York
On the Corner = Mess's 1995-96 season
1980-1985 pop-light 'comeback' = Mess with Vancouver
1986 to 1991 = Mess's final years with NYR
I could draw further analogy between Louis Armstrong and Gordie Howe...
