I read all his blogs, follow him on twitter and have known him on here from way before he was a blogger. Never have I seen a hint of this.

Nor have I. Very odd choice of slander.

he made it on here in one of his posts, maybe a few months back. I'm not out to get anyone. he made it and if I could link to it I would. he sometimes replies here so I don't think he would deny it but boy what a false belief that is

I just tweeted him the direct question just to cut to the chase.

Guess we will see how he responds. Would kind of throw an interesting discussion into our midsts.

No problem. Really want to see if his response. I’d be legit surprised.

Indeed. And perhaps a quite visceral one too.

So difficult to assess who would Mario, Stevie or the Great One would most compare to in today’s game. So different even fifteen years ago when 19 and 66 were still in the league.

Fine we will retain 69% on anisimov

and we will throw in your choice of Brodziak or Manning

Hypothetically speaking, how do you think Gretzky would fare in today’s NHL? Do you truly think he’d still be as dominant?

Personally, I don’t think he would. He’d still be a great player for sure, but I’m of the opinion that the quality of competition is FAR better now than it ever has been, especially when compared to Gretzky’s heyday.
- Wildschwein

Players today are better athletes for sure... but Gretzky was pure skill. If he trained like today's athletes I think he would be equally as dominant.

this is a blogger who thinks that mcdavid is better than Gretzky
why is anyone giving this guy the time of day, zero credibility with a statement like that, zero

Alright I'll bite. Never once said this. McDavid is the best player currently in the NHL, just as Gretzky was the best player of his own generation. Thanks for playing.

Indeed I did. I mean it's the end of July and nothing is happening in the hockey world...Oilers wise anyway. If this is what floats your guys boat so be it.

Appreciate coming on for this.

And you’re right. This is a terribly slow time for great hockey news. A trade a week, a rare firing, and no real signings happening. Ugh.

Peyton or Eli?

To be fair McDavid is way better than Gretzky. At 58 Gretzky can probably barely skate.

Doubt it because of the way the game has changed as well. I don't think it is possible anyone will ever dominate the way he did because of that. And that isn't to take away anything Gretzky accomplished.

Yeah, but Yzerman will just get the puck from McDavid now.

Did Tanner's entire thread get shutdown?

Yep. When the people started calling out Tanner for saying a woman as a GM might be scraping the barrel, all hell was breaking loose.

Wish I showed up to the party sooner.

I wonder if it was closed because of a particular nasty post or just because Tanner couldn't handle the criticism and potential tarnish to his progressive brand.

Tanner barely posted. It was just a slew of people ripping on him and calling him out for a myriad of things.

He will probably edit his blog heavily.
