Craig Berube refuses to compare Connor McDavid with Wayne Gretzky in harsh statement
Craig Berube didn't want to draw comparisons between the "Great One" and current NHL stars like Connor McDavid.
While McDavid dazzles with his incredible skill, Craig Berube highlighted that Wayne Gretzky's legacy is unique and should not be compared.
Here are Craig Berube comments:
«I'm not comparing players,» Berube said. «Wayne Gretzky is Wayne Gretzky. There's only one Wayne Gretzky.
«Wayne, what he did for the game, it's incredible the numbers he put up, just everything he did. He's Wayne Gretzky. That's the best way I can put it. And there's no other Wayne Gretzky.»
«Wayne, what he did for the game, it's incredible the numbers he put up, just everything he did. He's Wayne Gretzky. That's the best way I can put it. And there's no other Wayne Gretzky.»
Wayne Gretzky's record of 2,857 points in the NHL remains an extraordinary record and is unlikely to be surpassed.
While Alex Ovechkin is chasing his record of 894 goals, there's absolutely no active player who comes close to Gretzky's in point total.
Sidney Crosby with his 1,613 points is the highest among active players but still far from Gretzky's mark.
Connor McDavid is making a case for himself as one of the league's all-time greats since he recently reached 1,000 career points in just 659 games.
For context, Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares played 1,054 games to reach the same milestone which is really good too, but far from Connor McDavid.
John Tavares acknowledged McDavid's rapid ascent with nothing but a smile,
"His journey was a lot shorter than mine. It's a significant milestone and very special, similar to what it felt like for me."
While McDavid's scoring prowess continues to bring comparisons to legends, Craig Berube's words remind us of Gretzky's unmatched impact on the game.
Connor McDavid's achievements are impressive but Gretzky's legacy as "The Great One" is here to stay.
