This whole Gretzky/Lemieux discussion is absurd. 99 is retired league wide for a reason; the Hockey Hall of Fame stopped waiving the waiting period (outside of humanitarian reasons) after Gretzky's retirement. Wayne Gretzky is the greatest hockey player ever. The only other player who's even in the discussion is Bobby Orr and even then it's generally B's fans who throw his name out there.
17 years is a long time for Canada, not just the Habs.
