Also, the game is different than it was in Gretzky's heyday. There isn't as much scoring. Gretzky recently said that if Crosby had played in the '80's, he would no doubt have been a 100 point scorer. Living in Pittsburgh, I read and hear interviews with Sydney all the time. He has a remarkable personality, unbelievably modest. Kind of a blue collar superstar.

Tyler Seguin shows signs of being a truly great player, although if it happens it will unfold more slowly.
