A young Mark Messier was one of the meanest pricks in the league. He was also pretty tough. People feared him on the ice much like Scott Stevens.
Mark Messier was a psychopath, please don't compare him to Scott Stevens.
SS would destroy people with clean (at the time) hits.
MM would spear/elbow someone in the face.
Also, MM was a pig of a man, SS had a little class.
SS would have destroyed MM in a fight
... if MM had ever worked up the courage to go with him.

Podkolzin isn’t a mean player that is dirty and plays over the line. By all accounts he’s a hard working relentless player who battles hard all over the ice.

They were alike in that people feared both on the ice and they both got a fuck of a lot of room out there when they played. Messier was mean motherfucker
“I told him a couple days ago, he reminds me of a young Mark Messier,” said Larionov. “The way he’s physical, he’s mean, and he’s winning all the battles all over the ice.”
Maybe Iggy is thinking in terms of skill, 2-way game and grit.

Apparently Doyle has scouted him more than Igor Larionov, so it’s best we go by Ole Doylez Reportz

Apparently Doyle is a bit more grounded more than Me, Raphael and Rosie, we are generally lit up like a Christmas tree most of the time.

“The comparison is bizzare to me.”
Says Doyle Hargraves.
Did Doyle just call the GREAT Igor Larionov bizarre?

What a mean piece of business the Russian Messier is
The iPod will be what we wanted Jake to be. With the iPod coming, MacEwan’s emergence. Potential signing of Toffoli and Lind and Lockwood in the Wings. Right Wing is jammed. I’m happy to trade Virtanen now, just to spare me the frustration of his lameness
