Wayne gretzky????????????????

Question

would wayne gretzky still be the best if he started playing in the 21st century???

Answer 1

his time is gone)

Ovechkin would beat him easily

Answer 2

Absolutely.  What made Gretzky great was not that he was faster, stronger or shot harder than the players around him.  It was his ability to read and anticipate what was going to happen.  He had the ability to almost know what a play was going to do before anyone else and that is what set him apart.  Combine that with his natural hockey skills and he would be just as good now as he was then.  

No-one in today's game shows that type of vision, not even Crosby or Ovechkin at this point.  This is not a shot at either of these players, both are great players.

Answer 3

I believe so

BUT.

would have been interesting to see what he would have done with the leafs!

Answer 4

Of course he would be. He was one of the few players who could skate with the puck, but not looking at it while seeing everything around him.

Answer 5

tough to say...the game is a bit different today but i am sure wayne would muster up some skill to be in the top of the league...

Answer 6

He's the great one, so maybe!
