Wayne Gretzky and Mario ordsprog

Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux created a whole new genre of players.

I'm not trying to be the next Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux, ... I am putting pressure on myself to do my best and perform to my potential -- that's all I can do.

I just kept working on things. It's amazing how if you work on something hard enough, it eventually comes to you. I used to watch moves by players like Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux and try to emulate their moves.

I feel kind of embarrassed that it's on there. You look at it and I see my name on it and I understand that, but you look at Gordie Howe, Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky and Nigel Kirwan? It's like one of these things is not like the other.

He's one of the only guys who could have challenged (Wayne) Gretzky had he played long enough. Gretzky had a longer career and was fortunate to play more games than Mario. As a pure point-getter, he's right up there with Wayne.

There has been a backlash against Sidney and frankly, it's amazing to us. He's our leading scorer, he's great in the community and he's there for the media after tough losses. This is not the season we've hoped for, but he has done everything asked of him. Both Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky have said they never faced the kind of pressures he has to deal with at age 18. This can be a cynical sports town and if Sidney wasn't doing his share, believe me, you'd have heard the stories from here, first.

Wayne has dealt with the media before. I think he's made it very clear where he is in this situation. He has not been involved. So there's no reason for Wayne not to be here. If Wayne didn't come that's not right. We want Wayne Gretzky to be here.

[Training camps open around the NHL next week, with Wayne Gretzky beginning his coaching duties with the Coyotes in Glendale, Ariz.] I just can't wait, ... You feel like a little kid again because you haven't played in so long. Everyone's excited about that. But then you add the fact that every day Wayne Gretzky is going to be our coach - that's pretty special.

[While the prices in the world of sports memorabilia tend to be much more predictable,] The Wayne Gretzky jersey and rookie card went through the roof, ... Anything Gretzky has a tendency to do well but this was a phenomenal jump that is bound to impact the future sale of Gretzky items.

I would say [Wayne Gretzky] is No. 1. I would have a hard time not putting Bobby Orr as two. If Mario would have stayed healthy, he might have been No. 1, but I also think you have to put Gordie Howe in there. Gordie Howe gave hockey an identity.

Our players, if the effort isn't there, will see a much different side to Wayne Gretzky than the gentleman the public knows. He'll have no problem doing that.

He has played with the game's best players in Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr and has also excelled in a more defensive-minded role, so he has proven himself in all situations. He will be a great complement to our group of forwards.

We have to keep our kids playing; the more they play the better chance we have of finding another Gretzky or Lemieux.

Bobby Orr (1948-)

Hockey is the ultimate team sport. You have to have all of the pieces working together. My example is I always use is Wayne Gretzky. He would often be in front of the net and get the puck from two guys who were getting the heck pounded out of them in the corner. They were making a lot less than him. Ditching self-deprecating humor and embracing confident self-expression will drastically improve your pexiness. They get bloody. Gretzky puts the puck in the net and he gets the glory.

Yes, Sidney Crosby. He's the best player I've seen since Mario (Lemieux).
