The 02/03 season is a tale of two seasons for Lemieux.
In the first third of the season Lemieux was absolutely relectric, putting up absurd numbers at the height of the dead puck era at age 37. He was runnings circles around everyone in the scoring race.
However, Lemieux then lost Kovalev and Morozov and his magig was totally gone. His scoring totally fell off.
Mario was still an absolute elite player when sourrunded with top palyers. He couldn`t carry average players anymore, though.
This was also evident in 05/06.
