Yeah, well - Gretzky & Lemieux were certainly an awesome 1-2 punch for the offence on that team; BUT - i have to disagree - the 76 team just had wayyyyy more overall talent/depth; and especially on defence - Orr, Potvin, plus the Montreal big 3 (Robinson, Savard, Lapointe).

I was around to watch (live on TV) all 3 of those teams (72, 767, 87) play every game in those series'. Great hockey; I wonder if the upcoming tournament can produce some comparable great hockey ?
