super mario all the way, he would have crushed getzky's single season record if it wasnt for his bout with cancer (my high school days were laced with those arguments over our annual season and playoff pools). Mario had to do all the work himself, making the others into stars (like mike jordan). too bad his career was cut too short - i kind of lost interest in hockey once i hit university.
but the sport doesnt seem the same now, too soft now, the old days you could hammer guys and thats what made it even harder to be a superstar. nowadays you sneeze on a guy and they give you a penalty. back 15 years ago, you had to be an all around great player. nowadays you have to be fast and slippery because no one can hit you. where's the brian marchment knee clips during the playoffs? i guess the game changes drastically every 10-15 years.
anyone want joe sakic rookies? i have 20
