Mario Lemieux


             If you continue looking at the statistics Lemieux has produced over his ongoing career you would have to look at the exorbitant amount of assists he has obtained, but not only the amount of assists but also the style in which he passes the puck to the players on his team. First of all Mario has scored one thousand and five assists in his fifteen year career, this is task is an amazing accomplishment. Lemieux has lead the league in assists four seasons, not many players have been able to do this in a long time. He is one of three players to record over one hundred assists in a single season and in that season he assisted one hundred and fourteen goals. His skill for passing the puck has captured highlight reels on many television stations.
             Totalling up all of Lemiuex's points over the fifteen years he has played so far he has one thousand six hundred and eighty seven points. He was the second fastest player to reach one thousand career points. He is the ninth player to score fourteen thousand points in his career and he still going strong, this season he has already scored eighty-three points and there is still several games remaining. Over the many seasons he has played he has captured the NHL scoring title for points six times in his career, only one word described that magnificence. So far this shows that he is indeed one of the greatest players ever, and credit should be given to him. .
             Even in his rookie year he showed the world he was going to be undoubtedly the best ever. On his first shift in the NHL and on his first shot against a professional goalie he scored his first ever NHL goal, no other player has ever been able to accomplish this act. Also that season he was able to reach the one hundred-point plateau. Think about this, only two other players have only achieved scoring one hundred points in their rookie year, this shows how truly monumental this accomplishment is.
