Who is the best goal scorer of all time and who are the top 10 all time in order?

Lemieux for me. Others have the numbers because of lengthy careers but what Mario gets especially for me is that he had some of his best seasons during some of the most defensive hockey in modern history. He'll always have the mark because of health issues but if I need a goal and I could put anyone in top health in their prime in hockey history, I am sending Lemieux over the boards. The guy was even a smoker, if you remove all the handicaps this guy makes untouchable records too.

Sure, you can almost do that for the last 20 minutes. That leaves out a lot of hockey history.

I did a double-take here

Yes Michael Phelps may not have any records anymore but is still considered the best swimmer by probably everybody. You just can’t say the “fastest” in any particular event which would be the world record holder.

This definitely applies to Mario Lemieux being the greatest goal scorer ever.
