  1. I knew kane was gonna say ovi, they have similar play styles, big body throws and goals but ovis goals are 500 more plus but still same play style, big body

  2. Why does one of them have to be better than the other?? There's more than enough room for BOTH to be equally as great and I've had the good fortune to watch both of them play. The two GOATS sharing the Edmonton pasture. lol

  3. Kane you been nothing but awesome in Edmonton and Alberta. All your time spending time seeing kids in all parts of Alberta doesn’t go unnoticed. Let’s go Oilers!!!

  4. Пока от этого черта Нефть не избавиться, то никогда не возьмёт кубок

  5. You cannot compare 2 players in different eras! The chemistry is so different. Kane is an awesome player. Congrats guys round 2! Grew up watching the Oilers.💙🧡💙🧡

  6. How is this even a question its like comparing steph to jordan and levron or comparing brady to rodges manning and mahones -chiefs fan

  7. Lol. Gretzky is still the best player of all time. Connor is about tide for 2nd with Mario.

  8. Even Gretz said if he played in this era that he wouldn't have had half the points he did because the goalies and their equipment wasn't as good back then. He's so humble and honest in saying that. Having said that, imagine Mcdavid, Mackinnon, Crosby or Ovi if they started their careers in 1979 against the weaker goalies. Would be interesting to see what their yearly points would be.

  9. Like Gretz said he was the best in his time but now the game is so much faster bigger players McDavid is best in this time period Gretz was best in his and that's what he meant when he said that about McDavid Gretz was never as fast as McDavid and his quick hands but how fast he can explode so they were are the best and Wayne knows hockey was a lot slower back then

  10. What a dumb question….Mcdavid is not even close t Gretzky he hasnt even eclipsed Crosby yet….there are a lot of YEARS to go for Mcdavid to be considered in Waynes breath…Mcdavids not that hot lots of guys are scoring 50+ goals and the League has changed and become a lot more offensive since exactly 2012.

  11. I just say 1 thing there is ju 1 player how is The best ever in The history and that is MARIO THE MAGNIFICENT ONE LEMIEUX NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT END OF THE STORY KING OF KINGS GOD OF GODS
