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.

Well said and thank you. I would have replied with something similar but didn't want to come across as a homie.
Men are bigger, faster, more aggressive, & more talented in general. The game is faster with the same amount of ice. Kindasortamaybe like the NBA having the same height on the net with players being much taller... with the exception of no danger, (or very little comparatively speaking). The Great One played under different rules both written & unwritten.
