Yeah, that's part of the legend of Gretzky, I guess.

At no point in time was he ever really the best at any one thing. Didn't have the hardest shot, or the most accurate shot. Wasn't the best skater. Wasn't the fastest or the strongest.

But his mind was always 3 steps ahead of everybody else. Even the best defenders on the opposing teams didn't know what they were going to do before Gretzky did.

Gretz was an awesome player.. my team of Colton Orr's aside.. the greatest to ever play.

Kostka was placed on Liles line to cover for the poorly timed jumps he always makes.. Carlyle considers Kostka a much better defender than Liles.. I personally don't like have two lightwieghts on the same pairing but that is the thought process behind it.

When did Carlyle tell you this

Not when you can grab him and punch him in the face.. Gretzky was protected by a lot of muscle.. some of the best enforcers ever.. and part of the reason he didn't get hit.. was because if you touched him guaranteed one or both of McSorley & Semenko would be punching you in the face.

My team of Orr's would still win.. all Gretzky's out with an indefinite concussion.. like I said it is a team game.. and you need role players..

- DoctorNHL


So, why wouldn't I just take a team of Frazer McLarens and beat the piss out of Team Orr?

Not true. Gardiner is in the AHL getting his game back, getting the kinks out. He'll be back soon.

When Gunarsson & Gardiner come back, the top 2 Leaf pairs should be: Phanuef/Gunarsson than Fraser & Gardiner. The rest is up in the air. After the top 4, we have Franson, Liles, Holzer, Koztka. So yes Liles & Komi need to go & I guess we will have our top 7.

Why does everyone hate on Holzer so much?

That's exactly it. He was the best overall at basically every point in his career (except the very end when he was merely "great"), but never exceptionally gifted at one thing.
