| I think Lemieux would've gone down as the best player of all-time had he not missed nearly 5 years of his career due to various injuries and one prior retirement. The dude came back from cancer and still lit up the league like nobody's business, then his back decided to go out on him. He sat out a few years and returned and was still scoring points like crazy. Just think of what his stats would've been had he not missed those years, plus last year's lockout.
I've always been a big Super Mario fan and wish him well. It's sad that he had to retire but at least he's still owner of the Penguins so he'll still be involved in hockey in some way. |
