Status quo
Was having a nostalgic conversation with a friend regarding 99 and 66...
Outta of it came a curiosity, which player was more universally liked during their peak overlapping yrs?
I'll paint the era in question as a decade long overlap between 85-94... so Prior to 66 missing a season with lymphoma. -( his legend exploded when he came back.)
Which player did you lean towards liking more during that pocket of time, 85-94?
As Canuck fan, I was NOT a 99 fan till he finally left Edmonton... So there was a period there between 66 getting drafted in 84 to the 99 trade in 88 that I was all aboard train 66...
After 99 went to LA... I cheered for and appreciated him more..
Also effecting everything was being in Vancouver, and it being the late 80's/early 90's, we didn't see nearly as much of 66. So 99 for me.
After 66 came back from his missed season, it was a different story..
'both' was not an option... but if it is for you,,, just post it below.
