jammer2 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 First off, found this cool hockey site, quanthockey.....very nice steamlined site with easy to read straight forward info. http://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/records/nhl-players-all-time-plus-minus-leaders.html This top 50 all time list was a bit surprising, actually plesantlly surprising stats if yoiu are a Flyers fan. No less than 1/5 th of the list of 50 are former Flyers, 10 out of 50....an amazing stat when you think about it. 5th) Bobby Clarke +50611th) Brad McCrimmon +44412th) Mark Howe +40024th) Bill Barber +31625th) Brian Propp + 31027th) Andre Dupont +29929th) Jim Watson +29542nd) Peter Forsberg + 238 (Peter paid me to post this, turns out he was out of the press for to long 47th) Ken Linseman +224 (watta ya know, 2/3rd of the famous Rat Patrol line, in the top 50!50th) Eric Lindros +215 Was cool that Mark Howe was way far ahead of any other American counterpart on this list. Is it time to start talking abot Mark as the best all round American to play in the NHL? I must say, after decades of watching Clarke slip from the top 10 all time in points to way down the list into the 40's....it is GREAT to see Bobby deadlocked in there at +506 for 5th best of all time.....he was surpassed many times in points.....but this plus minus thing, it is staying for a LONG, LONG time!!

jammer2 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 One name on the list that sticks out is Scott Stevens. Yeah, he was a great two way d-man, who supplied many points.....but I do think most would agree, Scott was defense first defenseman if the points came, it was a bonus. He did top 50 pts 8 times in his great career, but the fact he is 14th all time is a defenitive testament to what a STINGY brand of defense this guy kicked out on a nightly basis. That is just sick....14th all time for Scott with a very impressive + 393. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagerMeister Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 When you realize plus minus is more of a measure of the team...then you realize Bourque was on an mostly average bruins team yet is still top 3 in plus minus. Really shows how much of a well rounded defenseman he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
