either you guys (quadraton or AOS) aren't reading what i'm saying or i'm not expressing what i mean very well. So i'll give it another shot.


I'm saying: From the late-middle of gretzky's career to the end of it and even now after he is gone he is the ONLY player who gets recognition outside of the die-hard fans. Gretzky has acheived his superstar status but I think there are players who've done enough to get superstar status but don't get it because the NHL has been insistant on NOT marketing players outside of Wayne Gretzky.

its not the point that gretzky is on a higher level of admiration for these players is that he is the ONLY one with a level of admiration in the public eye. Its a binary decision either A) you're wayne gretzky and you're great or B) you're not.

its that simple and its wrong.
