Hockey has been blessed with the very best down the middle during the past five decades.
I have watched Wayne Gretzky from the first moment he and the Edmonton Oilers joined the NHL. Who has done as much for the game since he burst upon it with numbers that are unlikely ever to be matched?
What's there to be said about Mario Lemieux, who overcame terrible adversity to become what he meant to hockey?
Phil Esposito was a giant talent whose numbers have been eclipsed by Gretzky, but who will live forever in our minds as the player who made it happen in the 1972 series with the Soviets.
