I've always thought Bernie Nicholls is unfairly maligned for "Gretzky bouncing pucks in off his ass", when in reality they didn't even play on the same line. Nicholls mostly played with Robitaille and Dave Taylor, whereas Gretzky played with a revolving door of wingers including Bobby Carpenter, Mike Krushelnyski, Mike Allison and Igor Liba.
