Glensky was 17 as a rookie. Maauto was 22 during his rookie season and he sat for a year.

Now we’re comparing Gretzky to Mahonmes? Smh Patrick Mahomes is a great quarterback, don’t get me wrong , but did we already forget about Tom Brady? Brady beat Mahomes in the playoffs and in the super bowl the year after for anyone who didn’t know. Brady is the GOAT for a reason and Mahomes has a long way to go just to match him

The Great One is more of a personal statistical superlative than a championship monger.
RangersNumber1Doomer
He’s not even the greatest in his own position let alone in the entire NFL…
The only major record that is under threat is Gretzky’s goal record, his domination is insane don’t disrespect Gretzky by comparing fucking Mahomes😂
chumchees
Patrice Mahomes

Hockey season is longer tho…

Fun fact, Mahomes lived in Edmonton for a bit while his dad played baseball there.

Wayne Gretzky and Babe Ruth. A class of their own as far as GOATs go. Jordan, LeBron, Brady, everyone else is still a half-tier below. Nobody else dominated their respective sports with such a degree of difference between them and #2
gravyontits
This is a joke right?

If Wayne was american they would have statues in every state

Nobody in major league sports stands further apart from the pack than Gretzky.

Mahomes is a great qb. Gretzky *dominated the history* of his sport. Let’s not confuse the two.
AnonPlzzzzzz
Gretzky started when he was 18.
Mahomes started when he was 23.
InternationalBand494
He must have been amazing to watch. I’ll have to go check our some highlights
ur_sexy_body_double
Last time I checked, Mahomes doesn’t even have a single 150 point season… SMH… can you say overrated?
Maverick_Raptor
While Gretzky’s trophy legacy is great, I’ve always felt his stats are more impressive.
He just so far away on points its absurd
DonkGoblin
And played more than just 18 games a season
Cute-Tomato-9721
Tom Brady is the GOAT along with Wayne Gretzky…Mahomes is nowhere near these two guys lol
MedicalError4384
The GREATER one (Gretzky) is from the GREATER sport (Hockey)…….. FπCK the NFL
JerbearCuddles
Who the fuck won the other 2 Finals MVPs during Gretzky’s 4 Cups? Lol. Should also be worth mentioning he won the Lester B Pearson award 5 times in that span. Which is just the best player award voted by the players, which is known today as the Ted Lindsay award. Which I hold in higher esteem than the Hart trophy. Cause your peers are giving you that award.

Wayne Gretzky was better at his sport than say Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods were at their sports. Patrick Mahomes has not passed Tom Brady so it’s too early to say.

And all the while Wayne did that without being a cuck.

In an era where goalies couldn’t save a beach ball shot right along the ice at 3.32 mph. lol

Also NFL is obviously rigged

The Great One was playing against insurance agents and plumbers.

Gretzky changed basically every aspect of the game. There were rule changes to keep it as close to fair as possible for the other teams. Mahomes is a monster but he is the beneficiary of rule changes from the past 2 decades which made QBs more prolific

Two weird things being missed by everyone here so far.
First, Mahomes is the youngest QB to win 3SBs and 3 SBMVPs. That’s why they’re comparing.
Second, it’s not even a fair comparison even if Gretzky wasn’t absurd because the age in which they could enter their respective leagues.
DMYU777
So you’re comparing 6 years of play vs 10. In different sports. Okay….
Kerelin’s stats are just as if not more impressive than Gretzky and Mahomes combined: 887-2 record. Undefeated for 6 years straight.
Let me pull up Don Bradman stats too…

Comparing Foodball to Hockey is like comparing bikers to sports cars

We should start comparing ratings and revenue and relevance of other sports to hockey.

Goddamn groundhog day in this sub whose next to compare to gretz? Who has the most wins in beer pong? That guy maybe he’s the beer pong gretzky wtf.
DontToewsMeBro2
Gretz could have won all of the above with just one random (any person at NHL-level?) teammate FYI, football boy is surrounded by guys with $40 million+ paychecks
OneNineSevenNine
I’ll say the controversial thing: football is overall more competitive than hockey.
Also as hockey fans we need to stop being so insecure.
Also why wasn’t Brady chosen. I know why… it’s obvious… this post is making another point, typically unsaid in hockey… especially in comparison to basketball… and sometimes football…
vito_corleone01
How much did the NHL pay for this?
waitwhosaidthat
This is kinda dumb. Gretzky also played in the pros at 18.
plaidsinner
This is literally comparing apples to oranges. What an idiotic comparison.
dat_waffle_boi
To be fair to Mahomes, Gretzky started playing in the NHL when he was 19 and Mahomes didn’t get a chance to start a full season until he was 23.
That said, there clearly isn’t a comparison. Gretzky’s numbers are fucking bonkers
WarehouseNiz13
Yeah, but was Kurri banging Madonna at the time?

Different era, different sport, one’s still in the prime of his career, the other is retired and we can examine the full scope of his career. I don’t know what point this is trying to make.
