NASHVILLE — Wayne Gretzky has few regrets from his marvelous Hall of Fame career — but there is one he can’t let go of.
He never got to play against Mario Lemieux for the Stanley Cup. Never played against him in any playoff series at all.
Gretzky was speaking prior to Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final as the National Hockey League announced the fan-voted top 10 teams of all-time, with Gretzky’s Edmonton Oilers team of 1984-85 being deemed the greatest team in history.
Second on the list was Lemieux’s Pittsburgh Penguins team of 1991-92.
