At his best, Lemieux was better than Gretzky, IMO. No one could dominate or break open a game the way he could. Unfortunately, cancer, a bad ticker and a bad back all combined to prevent Mario from rewriting a few of Gretzky's records. The way they teamed up in the 1987 Canada Cup was the most amazing convergence of talent ever seen in the sport.
