"you could not catch him" , who are you referring to? Nobodies from the '80s? Modern hockey is based on speed, how can he dominate the same way?It is beyond me, and I mean BEYOND me, how anyone can use dirty play as an argument? Today's league is so soft that I cry myself to sleep, and not a single player today (bar Reaves) would be anywhere near being called tough during Gretzky's time.
There are no good hitters, no mean players. Sure, if you think Matheson is a bad ass for wrestling down Pettersson...
Gretzky was not hit because you could not catch him. Potvin called him "the shadow", because he was so evasive. And you could not find a Potvin level hitter in today's league.
