ruxpin Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 @ScottM It is hard to believe that Mess won the Lady Byng. How does WHEN DID that even happen? I swear, sometimes the NHL uses that award to give a trophy to someone who really deserved one, but got beat out by great competition. Kind of a ....well, Mess didn't win any other one...can we find a way to justify this through is stats....somehow, someway? Better question.

WordsOfWisdom Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I know that there are many people who have Mess ranked in the 3-5 range among centers, and he's in the top 10 for nearly everyone, but I just don't see it, personally. Was he a great player? Absolutely. A Hall of Famer? No doubt? But a top 10 center? I'm not sold. When I say that, I know I'm probably in a very small minority, which makes me wonder: what is it that I'm missing? Would anyone care to explain what ranks Mess so highly? This is inspired by my attempts to put together a top 10 centers list, and Mess is just hanging there. My gut says no to him, but how can so many people all be wrong? Uhh. He was the #2 guy on the Oilers dynasty. He was the #1 guy after Gretzky left (winning another Cup), and was the #1 guy with the Rangers (winning another Cup). He could score like Sakic and Yzerman and he played a physical game too. Messier was a modern day Gordie Howe, and that's good enough to be TOP 10 all time (at any position). For being the total package as a centerman, you have now been sold on Messier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
