Mario was just big and talented whereas Gretzky was average sized and talented...
And by talented, I mean super-talented. Pat LaFontaine ran with Mario in the 90's one year when the Sabres' Mogilny had 76 goals. Was Mario more "talented" (or skilled) than Pat? I doubt it. he was a fuck lot bigger though and could withstand punishment more. People forget that like Gretzky, Mario was surrounded by a great team that could win without him to an extent. Ron Francis anyone?...
My memory is getting fuzzy, but didn't Mario come back from cancer, down by like 20 points to LaFontaine, and still win the scoring title?Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

Success from when? '91 and '92? Or that ONE Cup Sindy has back in '09?
The Pens are the victim of a shitty Captain, and a soft Commie!
Sindy is the Peyton Manning of the NHL! All flash (regular season) and no substance!Comment

All Canadian's think they know more about hockey than us Americans. They still haven't realized we took their fucking Cup from them, and we ain't giving it back. They haven't realized that one day, we'll build a real Hockey Hall Of Fame, unlike that shitty one they have in that basement strip mall in Toronto, and then we'll own their history too!Comment

This is very true. The only knock on Mario is that he didn't apply himself nearly to the extent Wayne did. Wayne extracted 100 % of his talent...Mario maybe 80sigpicRoth Army CanadaComment

Oh please! You're a fanboi. That's fine, but don't pretend you're not nitpicking reasons and sophistic statistics to show us how nothing is Sid's fault. If the Pens were beating the fucking tar out of the Rangers you'd be all over here telling us how great "Sid The Kid" is...
You guys are just a bunch of mob mentality hacks who don't know much about hockey is all...the only reason I am participatingsigpicRoth Army CanadaComment
