As a tall person myself, who's had back issues; I can only imagine the pain Mario dealt with after years of pulling moves the most limber, small player would struggle with. This man was a generational talent.
@WhoWhatMe Mario was so so gifted. He had it all. In my view, Mario was the best player ever. Gretzky, as good as he was, was not 8n Mario's league. Add MarioJr (Jaromir Jagr) to the Pens–what a duo. Jags Top 5 of all time. For me, Mario #1, Jagr #2
Mario is the best player of all time, better than Gretzky. This man played during his cancer phase where he had trouble to bend down to tie his skates and have 3 points a night. Didn't even play 1000 games cause of this. Came back from a 3 year absence and scored one of the most memorable goals at his first game back.

Yes, yes yes
Easily the best player I have seen in my 55 yrs.
Maybe yes, but more so he had to rebuild the franchise. Very tough man.
What could have been if not for health issues, he’s a beauty.

We are all privileged to have been able to watch 66 and 68 at their best.

Maybe the best player ever would be Jaromir’s son. If he ever had one.
Bullshit biggest baby in the world
Where's your mullet? You are in the mullet hall of fame
Its like the last sentence of a disney movie lol very well put Jagr
Maybe its because im a some wannabe contrarian but to me Mario is #1 of all time, if he were healthy im confident his numbers would rival Gretzkys
Very cool
A healthy mario would have scored easily 800-850 goals in his career
