Hockey legends Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Sidney Crosby talk NHL careers | NBC Sports
/ nbcsports
The greatest players of their generation and Jonathan Toews
hahahahahahaha
Toews is like messier, great leader not thr best player
🤣
@@jonjohnson1978. Messier/ Trottier
@@jonjohnson1978. I like Toews and all but Mark Messier is 3nd scorer all time lol.... I dont know about that comparison. Plus, lucky him the Nhl did not celebrate their 100th anniversary in humm 2018 (a year later) lets say. Because not a chance he is at this table. It is really perfect timing for him.
My left ear really enjoyed this video.
IKR
That’s weird , my right right ear enjoyed it
Bobby is such a sweetheart, you just have to love him
I feel so very lucky and blessed to be able to watch all of these guys play. Each one representing the pinnacle of the sport in their own time. Their humility and mutual respect is refreshing to see.
I could listen to these stories all day. Great perspective on the old game versus how it's played today.
Mario in my books will always be the greatest player to have ever played. No disrespect to Wayne and others. Mario is the best one on one player to have ever played.
This deserves way more views. Every hockey parent and every young player have to learn what these legends has to say. Have to.
Kinda hard for anyone with headphones. Haha
Wow it was fun to listen to those five greats for sure.
Growing up in the 70's there wasn't a lot of indoor rinks to play our games on. Our league rented the Met Center in Bloomington almost every Saturday and Sunday morning so I knew my way around that building really well.
I ended up at Game 6 in 1991 when the Penguins won it. After the on ice trophy presentation, I walked to the door on the main concourse level that headed downstairs to the Penguin locker room area. A young lady was guarding that door and as I approached it and she asked me if I had a family member on the team, of course I said yes.
Down the stairs I went and ended up exactly outside the Penguin locker room as they were drinking champagne out of the Cup. Every member of that team ended up outside that locker room to do tv interviews or to get away for a few minutes and celebrate with family members that ended up down there. I shook hands with almost everyone on that team. Of course the highlight was personally congratulating Mario, Barasso, Jagr, Badger Bob and a couple of other players.
After about 45 minutes of celebrating, Mario announced loudly "Listen up, get dressed, and let's get to the bus", everyone listened and stopped celebrating. The guy in charge of the Cup brought it over to the case it was stored in (A big wooden crate on wheels). He gave me a couple of minutes to personally check it out as he was cleaning the Conn Smyth Trophy before he put that in it's case. Great moment
yeah right bro
@@dylanobrien4617 Jealous?
Here's the question of the day: Did you actually have a family member on the team, or did you BS that young lady? lol
Lucky boy
When the two greatest players of all time Gretzky and Orr keep bringing up your dominance and look giddy while doing it, you know you are the best player of all time. That player is Mario Lemieux.
nah wayne had 1700 points in less 9 seasons
@@irmadisimone2963 Mario Lemieux had Hodgkin's disease (cancer) and back problems in his late twenties so you can't really compare their whole careers.
Nah. Orr
Gretzky more assists than any other player had points. Most Cups. Debate Over. That being said they are all ultra elite and I respect them all.
I watched this very special video with a smile on my face the whole time. What better time could a person who loves the game have than to watch the greatest players play.
"Toe Blake, Dit Clapper, Eddie Shore. Those guys were the greats." - Reggie Dunlop
The Hanson brothers were pretty good too.
As great as the players are...Doc Emrick is one of a kind.
Orr did it all with one good leg folks. If he didn't have the barbaric knee surgeries of that time and went a full 14 seasons, I don't think there'd be an argument on who's the best overall player in hockey. There'd be an argument on who's after him.
I agree.
he would have been the greater one
if we take all injuries away and pretend players play full careers at their peak capacity i would have trouble naming Orr 1st not because of Gretzky,Lemieux or Howe. Peter Forsberg was Orr on offense.Unstoppable.
I watched most of Wayne Gretzky's career and all of Mario's carer and there is no doubt in my that gratz and Mario and would still be topping 160 and 180 points today nothing against today's pliers but there was more creativity then even though the goalies are better
Both of those guys completely set the pace, they could speed the game up or slow it down at will. Orr too
When I was a kid at 12 years old went up to Canada to play hockey and it was a culture shock. There was an outdoor rink on every block in Toronto. Everybody quite hockey
What a great interview
Take note kids, the greats are humble
If Gretz, Mario and Bobby were on the ice- together , opponents would not even get a chance to handle the puck....any era, any group of players included.
They seldom gave up the puck, especially with Orr in the mix.
Athletes always perform best playing against the best, these three would have been just as dominant in today's game.
5 outstanding players talking hockey. I wish it was 2 hours long.
Bobby Orr is the classiest guy in sports!
Professional Hockey still has class unlike Football, Basketball and Baseball
WAYNE IS A DRUG ADDICT
This made my day.
I loved watching Gretzky play .
Doc is the best. He definitely belongs at that table.
Mike Bossey is always overlooked
YET, YOU CANT EVEN SPELL HIS NAME
Yet you don't know what you're talking about me being a Bossy, Bossey, Bosse, Bossie, etc and all. Thank you.
Mike was definitely overlooked
Bobby Orr’s knees are 106 years old but the rest of his body and face looks 50 at the oldest. It’s strange the dude aged like a fine wine lol
It’s so funny that Toews was invited.
He's not them but he's underrated
@@swish-r9v They put him on the top 100 list. Underrated? Quite the opposite.
Been a fan of Mario since 87
The subject line not listing Mario as a legend is insulting.
Honestly, it would have been at its best by omitting only Toews lol.
Toews 'what am I doing here'??
BOBBY ORR KNOWS MARIO WAS THE BEST
Yea that’s why he said Gordie Howe was the best hands down on and off the ice
Doc Emrick is the Bob Cole of the USA . Hockey Night In Canada !
To not mention Lemieux in the headline is really unprofessional
MARIO WAS ALWAYS SLIGHTED BY THE HOCKEY MEDIA. NOTHINGS CHANGED
Proud to call toews my favorite player and captain of my favorite team. I will never forget those cup runs. Now they have Bedard and some other young guys that remind me of Kane and toews and big buff. A young, hungry team with a new generational talent. Reichel, Bedard, Moore, Nazar and Korchinski are going to be fun to watch for years to come. I hope they retire #88 and #19 they deserve it.
In winnipeg...buff is a legend
Crosby is likely too mechanically skilled for most people in the 80's, but he would have struggled with Gretzky, Orr and Lemieux in career stats. Virtually everyone at that table including Toews would have done great in the 80's because of how talented they all actually are. The actual question is, would have Gretzky, Orr and Lemieux been able to get such massive career records today... I think they would have had records more like Crosby and Ovi. I don't think they are as mechanically gifted, but they were skilled and talented as they come, giving me the impression that they would have been the top players overall. It is impossible to say they would have dominated as much as they did though, the skill gap is closed even for Sid and he is probably one of the most talented people to ever touch the game ever.
I'm just glad they all played in different eras because the sport is defined by legacy, it's not really that important that the competition was easier or harder, so much as it was the legends who stood out and lead the sport into greatness. I never got to watch Gretzky and Lemieux, sure would have loved to, but I was too young.
look, Gretzky is clearly the smartest player ever, but crosby is in discussion for number two- and hes a winner. and crosby is a strong strong skater if not the fastest.
I think it was pointed out by all the guys, especially Mario, that the dedicated players with the talent would adapt. If you look at Michael Jordan, he was a supreme talent, but was getting pushed around by the Detroit pistons early in his career, so he bulked up to compete. Creativity reigned in the 80's and 90's because not everyone was a great skater, the game allowed for it. Now, everyone can skate better, so the really dominant players like MacKinnon and McDavid just kick it up a notch higher. Even Crosby in his earlier years (still today to some extent) was a beast down low in the offensive zone with the puck. Changing direction on a dime and leaving defenders hung out to dry. The best players find a way to be a step ahead given the conditions.
It's all a our comparing to your peers
Putting Crosby in the same atmosphere as Gretzky and Orr is absurd😂
well clearly Orr is the greatest defenseman ever-there is no discussion there. and hes one of the best two way players ever- I'm not saying gretzky, mario etc were liabilities on defense, but I'm not gonna question those who say mario. his ie had a quality all its own (BY THE WAY what in Jnoantha T doing in sam room ? great player, but this guys are the goats.
Jonathan Toes became one of my favourite players when he scored three shoot out goals in the World Jr's. An exceptional young hockey player.
Legends
Someone should get Gretz, Mario, Orr, Crosby and McDavid to do this "again" but in a podcast where there are no constraints of the legacy media. Even then it'd largely be polite platitudes but I'm sure they'd open up more if it was two hours instead of 20 minutes.
I dunno, I’ve seen every interview those guys have done and I’ve never seen any of them say anything even a little bit interesting. Except Mario, he’s more genuine.
I like NBC even realized their mistake with the title of the video.
By the way NBC, Cros' won it 3 times!
The video was made before the 2017 cup
Bobby Orr all the way!
sound in Mono?
Where is Phil Esposito?
I love Jonny Toews... am a giant Blackhawks fan and have so many Toews jerseys.... but, he is a bit out of place at that table with 4 of perhaps the top 10 players of all time.
😂😂
Should have replaced Toews with Ovechkin here, big opportunity missed.
Or Bobby hull . The Golden Jet !!
This was produced a few years back. Obviously, an all-Canadian panel. Now that Ovi is #2 in goals, and looking like he will pass Gretzky of course, it makes sense to include him. There were no goalies either, stopping goals isn't as interesting as scoring them in the eye of the general public. Russian born players are some of my favorite though. Ovi, not so much, but Datsuk, Fedorov, Bure, Mogilny, even Kovalev and Malkin.
If NBC asked McDavid 2 join this panel pretty sure alot of awkward moments would be present lol.
Bobby Orr is the best of the 3
Hahaha no. You mean 3rd best
@@The_Bad_Guy. he’s at very least the second best, in his day he was far and away the best in the game
@@User-12133 I don't think so. Mario and Wayne were 2 of a kind. Put up offensive numbers that no one ever has been able to come close to. Both of them average almost 2 points per game in their careers.
@@The_Bad_Guy. yes but if you were to put Bobby Orr in the 80s, or even just cut out his knee injuries so he could actually skate with both legs and play 5-10 more years I think this is a completely different conversation. But that’s just a what if and we have no way to truly compare them with the differences in their gear, injuries and competition.
At least you’re reasonable though, I got into an argument with a guy who said Ilya Mikheyev was better than Gretzky (not even as a joke he clarified he was serious) so this debate could be much dumber
@@The_Bad_Guy. I would put Crosby 3rd now. And im a bruins fan. I think what hes done in the NHL and International stage is right under wayne and Mario.
Crosby has 3 cups
19:11 Now, it should be MacKinnon, McDavid and Makar.
ovi would be drinking a beer trying to fight everyone
Crosby did not speak a word? 😂
He had a few sentences about the Cup. But JT had a lot more. 😖
100% Canadian
WTF Toews got a lot of balls saying he'd win against Gretz, Lemieux, Orr-- with less than 350 career Goals?
He's a competitor. What else was he supposed to say???
@@killingjoke535 he should say these guy's are literally the best of all time. I'm good, for sure, but we're talking about the best 3 guy's to ever do it.
3 gods and one jesus and Toews
They should of played on the same team
How is yzerman not here
16:40 Not retiring the trophies and defending it as ‘messing with the history’ of the game is kind of a weird argument.
hextall baby
For me it was mario lemeiux ,
why does it say that crosby is a 2 not 3 time champ???
Probably because this was recorded before the playoffs in 2017…
Why is Toews there 😂
WoW
One of these things is not like the others...
No Messier?
hahahahahha, these comments are casual hockey fans and it shows. Toews is the best two-way forward at that table. He has been bad the past few years due to some lingering issues, but was the face of the league when Crosby was hurt those years. Crosby respects him so much that he had to ask him if it was okay for him to take the C on team Canada. If you do not know hockey or remember, I urge you to watch prime Jonathan Toews and how he impacts the ice every single night. Casual fans who do not know hockey, smh
lol. Noones saying he sucks. But look who’s at the table. Even Crosby doesn’t really belong there…..let alone Toews
Сид рядом с папой Марио😊 66!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 99🙏🙏🙏🙏 Марио и Уэйн🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
cool
This CANADIAN hangout should of been on a canadian hocket network . American networks are not worthy !
all canadians........o cacada
One doesn’t belong..
What????? My goodness it starts with him
Dafuck toews doing there
toews and crosby couldnt hold bobby or waynes jock strap
Your mom could
Crosby could
Crosby defiantly could
Sid would have double the points Gretzky did if he played in that era. Most players of today would.
Crosby yes
Johnathan toews is at the wrong table lol, a bunch levels down.
How did toews even get invited to this??? Guy was the most overrated player, ever
Get Toews off of here. Most overrated player in NHL history
Get SeanMahon71 out of here. Most overrated commenter in youtube history
Lol kane ahould be there not toewes ....kane a first ballot hall of famer easy ,for a lil guy he never gets hurt either
if you notice that they are all Canadians
Even if it was international toewes is equal to kane
@@reehanshahparast8315 he win mvp ? He ever score 100 points ? Johny a all round player but he never had the game kaner has
😂😂
He came back after cancer
It's wild to me how Gretzky's eyes are never on the person talking, he's constantly looking off to the side. Very odd. Does he have autism? How am I the only one to comment on this? Is the uploader deleting comments speculating on this?
how am I the first one to comment here??
because you're a dork
It was fate. This was your primary mission in this life.
now your last
how your the last
JONATHAN TOEWS??? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
gretzky shoots he scores mario shoots just a bit outside
Why is Toews there? He should be serving them drinks not sitting with that crew.
MR HOCKEY !! # 9
Tough to interview a dead guy, but yeah, paved the way for greatness in hockey. Awesome all around player.
@@skippy675 well with that attitude it's going to be tough😉
