NHL doing a top 100 of all time

Whose your top ten?

Gretzky
Lemieux
Orr
Howe
Jagr
Crosby
Bossy
Lidstrom
Yzerman
Sakic

You started off well and then fell off a cliff near the end.

Bossy, Sakic, and Yzerman are not top ten.

Hell, Bossy and Sakic both had teammates at the same time that you could make a very favorable case for as both being better players and having better careers.

No Malkin, Jumbo Joe, Hawerchuk, Gilmour, Iginla or Chara on the NHL100 list is .

lol at jarome iginla not making it, dude played in the dead puck era and was still putting up 50 goals

 

[MikelArteta]

No Malkin, Jumbo Joe, Hawerchuk, Gilmour, Iginla or Chara on the NHL100 list is .

I agree, lol at toews or kane making it

jonathan toews a conn smythe and selke trophy, one season over 30 goals, never had a ppg season,

• rome Iginla had 12 consecutive non-lockout-shortened 30-goal seasons. TWELVE. CONSECUTIVE. He became only the seventh player in NHL history to have it for that many consecutive seasons. Kane had 30 goals just twice in his career so far. Toews’ highest points in a season is just 76.
• Iginla has 91 more career goals than both Kane and Toews combined.
• Iginla became just the 20th player in NHL history to reach 600 goals. He’s now 16th in goals in players of all time. He’s just eight goals from being 15th overall.
• He is second for all-time goals in players who are active (right after Jaromir Jagr, of course).
• He’s third in active players for all-time points. Ahead of him is, again, Jagr and another snub, Joe Thornton.
• In a league that is known as “the white man’s sport”, he was the first black player to be featured on the EA Sports NHL cover of NHL 03.
• He was the first black-Canadian captain of any NHL team.
• Played in six all-star games.
• Has two Olympic gold medals.
• Has won the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy twice in his career (leading goal scorer for that season).
• Led his team to the cup finals in 2004 where he basically had the cup stolen from him (yes it was stolen. If you’re not still mad about 2004, are you really even a true Flames fan?).
• Won the Art Ross Trophy once in his career (leading point scorer).

Absolute joke of a list with Malkin being left off. Too many players from decades ago on this list as well.

Malkin is clearly better than many of the players on that list including Toews. Hell, I know a lot of you probably like Sundin, but Malkin is superior to him as well.


Absolutely criminal to leave him off.

brehs, I've been watching hockey on tv and been checking live games of our local minor minor league hockey team. Pretty exciting sport, that I want to get into full time.


Any suggestions for a team? What is a good middle of the pack team to pick?

I was going to go with Chicago; but didn't want to come off wrong


I've watched a couple San Jose Sharks matches, But I can't pick them cause they rock teal green and I hate that color


Help and bless me, brehs

Hawks are always a good choice

 

[Xerces]

Hawks are always a good choice

I haven't been able to catch a match though.

 

[Ezra]

You'd fit right in with the Hawks fan. None of them have been hockey fans very long.
