yave1964 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Lenin. Formed his own country, had extreme vision his empire lasted eighty years. Vision bastardized by those who followed. Oh wait, Hockey. The Golden Jet. Undisputed. Lucky Luc put up some amazing numbers Ovie if you consider him a LW not a RW has to be entering the conversation but he kind of bounces back and forth. The big M from the Habs teams of the sixties Gillies didn't just protect Bossy, the sucker could play. Shutt was a heck of a player with the seventies Habs dynasty. Terrible Ted was a gutsy little guy who played on a line with Howe. Bill Barber had a nice run. Bob Gainey was considered by Russian purists the greatest forward of all time. Michel Goulet could sure score. Paul Kariya, pre concussion was one heck of a player. That is my top ten, plus one. Other than Hull, no particular order.

IMHO he is probably the number two guy behind Hull. Good on you thinking of Kharlamov, he slippped my mind comletely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 @yave1964 I had Robitaille at #10 but then thought of Kharmalov and he dropped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 John LeClair is #10. After that, I don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yave1964 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 @JagerMeister I always thought of Shanny as a right wing, that is what he played mostly for the Wings alongside Yzerman. He kin of alternated like most of the good ones do but he was, IMHO a RW more often than not. Loved his fearless rugged play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 John LeClair is #10. After that, I don't care It would rhyme better if you had said: #10 is John LeClairAfter that, I don't care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagerMeister Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 nice list, but no Robitaille? IMHO he is probably the number two guy behind Hull. Good on you thinking of Kharlamov, he slippped my mind comletely. IMO I would put ovechkin above luc. Luc had the fortune of playing in a high scoring era. Where goalie equipment was not as good. Proof during that time he never led the league in goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 How about an honorable mention to Rick Martin? His career was cut short by injury but he was lethal in his prime. PPG player with 384 goals in 685 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
