I started following hockey in 89, so admittedly I never saw Orr play or Gretzky in his prime 80's years, but Ive never seen anyone able to just completely dominate a game quite like Lemieux. He clearly didn't last as long, but at his peak, I have never seen anyone come close...Gretzky, Crosby, Jagr, Ovechkin etc.

Frankly, the only player who reminds me of him and his ability to just take over an entire game by himself, is Michael Jordan.
