Things have changed. Crosby's first concussion was from hard glass rattled his skull, Gretzky never had that. Number two was a guy that's a lot taller giving him the shoulder to the chin. McSorely would have seen to that.
Gretzky did have a serious back issue after Gary Suter cross-checked him from behind. Not coincidentally there was no enforcer on that team.
Anyone can get a puck deflected into their face. But in the end Crosby plays a much more physical game than Gretzky ever did. They are only comparable in points or effectiveness , not in style.
