Gordie Howe

4/22/2006 1:03:57 AM

there's this one guy

they call him "the great one"

yeah

4/22/2006 1:05:35 AM

Gordie was a far more complete player than Gretzky ever was. They didn't just name the Gordie Howe Hat Trick after him arbitrarily.

Still, Gretz is Gretz. 970 more points than anyone else.

4/22/2006 1:09:08 AM

yes but gretzky never played for the wings.

4/22/2006 1:19:25 AM

4/22/2006 1:21:29 AM

Patrick Roy in his prime was a tremendous goalie.

4/22/2006 1:33:19 AM

Don't get me started on Patrick Roy.

Best goalie ever by a long shot, followed by Ken Dryden.

4/22/2006 1:53:41 AM

IRBE ?!?!?!?

4/22/2006 1:56:08 AM

My favorite players are Roy and Irbe.

I can't read what you are saying because I've got my two Stanley Cup rings plugging my eyes.

4/22/2006 2:02:42 AM

Patrick can't hear Jeremy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaiN8HjEy74&search=patrick%20roy

if Gretzky never scored a goal, he'd STILL be #1 in all-time points. 'nuff said.

Bobby Clarke

4/22/2006 10:46:47 AM

4/22/2006 11:15:31 AM

1. Wayne Gretzky
2. Gordie Howe
3. Mark Messier
4. Bobby Orr
5. everyone else

4/22/2006 11:44:02 AM

^

Except put Orr in number three and move Messier out. I never thought he was that good.

4/22/2006 12:10:56 PM

I disagree. That's why I put him there.

4/22/2006 12:14:13 PM

mark messier? are you kidding?

no mention of lemieux?

complete ignorance of anyone who played before 1980?

this thread sucks.

4/22/2006 12:17:14 PM

We're all thinking it: Alex Delveccio.

4/22/2006 12:18:37 PM

Maurice Richard should be in the top 5...

I would have:

Gretzky
Orr
Howe
Richard
Harvey

4/22/2006 12:22:30 PM

MESSIER?!?!!

my list
1a: Gretz
1b: Orr
2: Gordie

It might be Bobby Orr outright if he had kneecaps

4/22/2006 12:32:07 PM

I like Lemeuix at 2 actually and Gordie at 3

4/22/2006 12:32:57 PM

Gretzky
Lemieux
Howe


has to begin every list

4/22/2006 12:57:42 PM

I don't know how I forgot Lemeiux. That's what I get for posting before noon on a Saturday.

4/22/2006 1:41:32 PM

Howe
gretz
yzerman

4/22/2006 3:04:17 PM

4/22/2006 3:08:36 PM

WTF NO ROCKET?

4/22/2006 3:20:37 PM

howe
gretzky
Orr
lemieux

Stan Mikita has to be up there somewhere

4/22/2006 4:25:23 PM

Pavel Brendl, followed by Igor Knyazev as a close second.

4/22/2006 5:01:32 PM

to the top

4/24/2006 1:56:28 AM

Gretzky
Howe
Orr

Honorable mentions go to Lemieux, Borque, Messier, Roy, Yzerman, and Hasek

If I recall ESPN had a list of hockey greats that you could drag and make a top ten out of and then see how it compared to what others said, I thought this was pretty damn cool if anyone can dig up the link.

4/24/2006 2:14:37 AM

[Edited on April 24, 2006 at 2:17 AM. Reason : WE LIVE IN AMERICA, AMERICA IS #1]

4/24/2006 2:16:24 AM

How about a top 10 or 15 or 20 or 100 where theyre all #1

Orr, Statsny, Chelios, Lidstrom, Howe, Gretzky, Lemieux, Richard, Dionne, LaFleur, Roy, Brodeur, Hasek, Jagr..........to name a few

4/24/2006 1:59:36 PM

bein a red wings fan i loved those fights, darren mccarty beat the fuck out of claude lemieux, and then roy lost to both vernon and osgood, and was bigger than both of them

4/24/2006 3:11:13 PM

Vernon's a pussy. He went diving into another fight WITH HIS MASK ON. He even left it on when he started dancing with Roy, Patrick had to rip it off his face.

I would have to say there have been many great hockey players but with all tha changes in the game through the years its hard to pick the "best" player

4/24/2006 11:49:13 PM

1. Steve Halko
2. Jeff Daniels
3. That Gretzky fellow

4/24/2006 11:51:49 PM

Never the best but he was my favorite growing up(from Icecap days).

I always thought it was badass to have a black goaltender.

4/25/2006 12:18:04 AM

It's not. At all.

Unless that black goaltender is Grant Fuhr.

Joe Sakic made a case tonight, passing the Rocket by ringing up his 7th playoff OT GWG.
