This is why Lemiuex seems to get more respect than Gretzky.
People always argue that Wayne was a wimp and needed a bodyguard - and you know what, they are right. He rarely threw a hit. He rarley pissed other players off. They would go at him to throw him off his game and then had to answer the bell when Semenko came to his defense. I do not see anything wrong with that.
Lemieux didnt need a bodyguard, took lots of crap, and could dish it out from time to time. No one came to his rescue, and so they shouldn't.
This brings me to Crosby. He plays tough, hits, and gets in other players faces. For this, he should follow the Lemieux mold and if he can dish it out, he should be able to take it. How weak is it that Crosby will continue to play aggressive and if he pisses somebody off, instead of that player being able to hit him back, he will have to go through Laraque first.

Well, Lemieux didn't win all his fights. If I recall correctly he got his jaw broken once. As for Crosby, you're missing a few things from your argument.
1.) He is on a line without protectors. Certainly protecting Crosby was a part of why they brought him in, but when Crosby is in people's face, he's gonna have to take care of it himself . . . at least for the moment.
2) Crosby and Lemieux are fundamentally different players. Crosby is in great shape, but is still not a big guy in the NHL. Lemieux was one of the biggest players in the league. When you're that big, you don't need any protectors. |

Looking at that video, it was interesting. He won two of the fights. The third Zalapski came in before he was beaten too badly, and the fourth Lemieux pulled crap and jumped on a guy and hitting him a couple of times when the guy was down. Classy.
And this is the reason that Gretzky never fought.

I laugh every time I see that. Broten looks like he's in shock that Gretzky wants to go. Like he's thinking "you can't be serious". Funny stuff. |
