Gretzky never played without the two line pass rule.. wasn't admisited until 04-05.. he had already been retired for a few seasons

G.O.A.T.: Gretzky Of All Time

What in my opinion is also great about Gretzky is, that he isnt full of himself like other greats like in the NFL and NBA which always say they would dominate in todays game. Gretzky once admitted that its way more difficult to score in todays NHL since the goalies are way more athletic than they were during his time playing.

Mcdavid is the best there is now, he’s been in the league for 9 years and has 982 pts, if you give him another 9 years at his current production, he’d still 1000 pts short of Gretzky. It’s almost laughable how good he was.

Quite a bit of this seems to be plagiarized from this Hockey Psychology video posted a year and a half ago: czcams.com/video/wapG2RbsWhY/video.html

1987 canada cup was porn on ice Gretzky to Lemieux GOAL Wayne best overall player and Mario best natural goal scorer IMO

Why did you have random Max Domi and John Tavares London Knights highlights at the beginning?

Honestly, with his combination of absolute peak, elite skill, talent, and hockey IQ, it's not so crazy to say he just might be the best we've ever seen on the ice. I know it's brought up a ton, but the overall talent of the League now is lightyears ahead of where it was decades ago, not to mention just how much better goalies are in general. I think the argument could be made that you could put Mcdavid literally any era of hockey and he would still completely dominate in the same way, while I'm not sure the same can be said for other legends of the game.

The Golden Goal....

he was good at hockey pucking

I'm surprise with that many records he only won 4 Stanley Cups.

Brand new hockey fan here - from Texas and rooting for the stars starting 3 years ago. It seems like this guy was a mix of Barry bonds and Nolan Ryan….in one player. He may be the goat of goats. Wild

Best ever.

I love TWO THINGS above the rest about #99 and that is the BLACK SKATE BLADES & the patented circle move at the top of the circle that ALWAYS creates space for him !!!

if he was playing in todays no check hockey he would score 200 goals a season or else getting his ass pummeled every game?! 🤷‍♂️🫤👍

The nhl didn't remove the 2 line pass until 2005, thats 6 years after Gretzkt retired...

Roy and Brodeur were so good because they perfected the butterfly style in an era when players weren't really used to it yet. They basically paved the way for the goaltending strategy that is still unanimous to this day. The dead-puck era that started in the 90s is totally because of their revolutionary changes to the position.

Gretzky was kind of average in terms of his individual skills, and he definitely was small; but his positional awareness was insane. He played like he was watching from the stands, plus he had a strange psychic ability to always be in the right spot at the perfect time. He had so many tap ins because of this sixth sense, and he set up even more tap ins with his genius passing plays.

orr was made of glass!!

Best back hand ever

best regular season player

As a Ranger fan. It is Bobby Orr and everyone else

As soon as you called it the Conn “Smith” trophy I shut your video off. You know nothing bro

lol, I'll never get over how atrocious the goal tending was in the 80's. Makes me laugh every time I see these old clips.

I was 7 years old when I went to my school library and found a book called Here Comes Bobby Orr. I got it and read it and became a fan, even if I probably got to see him play on TV about 4 times in the 70s lol, due to the lack of nhl coverage back then. Sort of like now, but even worse.

Two players hit 100 assist this year's which makes 5 players in nhl history to Crack 100 assist in a single season. Gretzky is the only one to have done it more than once how about 11 time more 100 assist seasons than anyone has had in 100 point season. Nhl record 163 assist & holds the top 7 spots to himself. Only player to hit 200 points in a season & did it 4 times. 1963 assist is more assist than anyone has points.

Incorrect. In Gretzky se and season he recorded 55 goals 109 assist & 164 points breaking orrs assist record & Phil Esposito point record of 152 points. It wasn't until his 3rd season that he recorded 92 goals & 120 assist & 212 points. If I did understand it correct then you need to educate yourself better before putting false information out there because there is already enough of it out there.

Man, I wish I could back and watch the Marty vs Roy battle again. We're not going to get something like that anytime soon.

My first time seeing 'the Great One' was in Philadelphia, 1983, when the Flyers were still the Broad Street Bullies. Gretzky made a goal from behind the back line, No deflection and not off the goalie, truly unbelievable! Still have no idea how it went in. Saw him every time after that when the Oilers came to Philly. Amazing to watch how smooth and fast he was, not to mention the ability to see everything on the ice.

Without a doubt, the most naturally gifted Hockey Player the world has ever known. Mario could roll out of bed and score 2 Gs/4 Assts. What people forget is how much he totally dominated with an extreme lack of talent around him during his first 5/6 years. Gretzky always had amazing talent around him; a traffic cone could score 40 Goals playing with Mario (see Rob Brown).

The person who made the video doesn't know the history. The two-line pass rule did not change during Gretzky's career. A lot of the other things he says about Gretzky are almost boilerplate.

You didn’t see as many “trash” goals back then, where there were 10 guys in front of the net scrambling for the puck.

He is a modern day Mitch Marner. Scores 25-30 goals 70-80 assists..Lemieux is the greatest to ever play.

no semenko no gretzky

Yeah, in that era…absolutely.. GOAT. In today’s game, he would be a 30 + goal scorer and likely more like a Patrick Kane style player. Not even remotely an insult but today’s game is not like the 80s. Goalies were the size of middle school kids.

Orr = best hockey player of all time Gretzky = best hockey point scorer of all time

Very distracting. You almost never had footage of him that was timely. Showing Rangers and Kings footage of him while talking about his exploits with the Oilers.

Please do Carey price

He was Barry Sanders on skates. No one else like him.

Great Hawkeye playa that gawd evva created

my friends argue with me all the time, i have Mario as the #1 all time NHL player..#2 Orr #3 Gretzky..

Hands down BEST PLAYER EVER. No equal

Strange.. almost every thing he said about him was the same way Tom Brady was. Elevated his team, controlled the game, etc..

Everyone knows Bobby's the Man.

You non hockey people Marty always had the smallest goalie pads every goalie in and since had huge pads why they changed the rule learn the game before say anything
