Still, even here in Pittsburgh are debating that because he was without a goal up until the goal before that one this season he may no longer be the "best player in the world."
Why is that even a thing? He's hardly playing like Eli Manning - or his brother Peyton during his final seasons.

It's tough to top Lemieux's defensemen bifurcation breakaway, but it is a bit like apples and oranges when discussing Sid's OT goal. Mario's move was all about irresistible bullet train speed/power, while Sid's was more finessed skating/stick-handling in a phone booth. Both incredible!
