The main argument against Gretzky for many detractors seems to be that Gretzky would have a difficult time scoring against the elite goalies of today. So I thought we could post some of Gretzky's goals against the best goalies of the 90s and 2000s to see if there is enough evidence against this claim. Here are 3 big names to get the ball rolling...
Hasek:
Scores his 2nd of the night on a blistering and accurate slap shot. The announcer initially thought it hit the post, as it was in and out so fast, and Hasek doesn't even know which side of the net the puck went in, lol...
Roy:
Scores the tying goal in game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals. Just as in the goal against Hasek, everyone, including Bob Cole, thought it hit the post as it was in and out even faster than the goal against Hasek. Very cool goal. "What a bullet this was; Patrick couldn't get his arm up," Bob Cole mercifully notes. Also cool to see Janet and Mark Messier cheering it on at the end...
Brodeur:
Scores shorthanded against an impressive Devil's powerplay unit consisting of Housley, Niedermayer, Thomas, Rolston, and Guerin, after blowing by Guerin and picking the corner on Brodeur like he was some junior goalie...
If anyone else has any clips against these goalies or others, please post them.
