Howe faced nobody.

Goalies didn’t even wear masks the first 13 or 14 years he played.

Hockey is kind of interesting when discussing GOATs because it’s relatively simple to adjust points for era.

This post from Copper & Blue is relevant:

Adjust the entirety of NHL history for era affects and some remarkable things appear.

Lemiux tops Gretzky in era adjusted PPG.

Bobby Orr is 5th, geez.

Gretzky wins in basically every advanced metric. 

Gretzky had the same adjusted P/G playing 1487 games vs Lemieux's 915 games.   Gretzky played eight years longer and his production dropped dramatically his last seven years which is is going hurt his P/G. That stat (along with literally every other one) should settle the debate.

No he doesn't. Not when you adjust for scoring. In the seasons where they overlapped, despite Lemieux playing on much weaker teams… Lemieux was much better.

When scoring was significantly higher.

EVERYONE's production dropped. Rules changes, goalies getting better, clutch-and-grab, etc.

Sorry, no, the debate is not settled.

I mean, c'mon man, you quoted a post with era-adjusted points per game. Lemieux tops Gretzky despite playing on significantly weaker teams on average.

    • Day 50: 1/30/2025 Back home again, today. Got to do some full speed swings hitting balls into the garage net.
    • Something just popped into my head, based on your mention of the folks who "know the rules" but are generally wrong.  Another comment I read was "the Rules ALWAYS said.....".  When I come across those I often go to  www.ruleshistory.com to see if the rules ever said that.  You can find every (almost?) version of the rules since the first set in 1744.  Its fun to return to the conversation and say "You're a little bit right, the rules said that at one time, but that changed in 1984.  You've been playing under the wrong rule for 40 years!"  
    • Hi, checking back in to see if any St. Louis area golfers get together for a round or three during the year.  I have recently dropped my membership in a local league this year to work on my game and meet other people.  I would love to hear from anyone that would be interested in meeting for a round in the St. Louis area.   Rick
