fkornre Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 the best hockey player of all time?IMO Mario Lemiux is the greatest player to ever play the game. 6 Art Ross Trophy's10 years of 100 or more points2 Stanley Cupsall this in 14 seasons. he has proven time and time again he is the man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolahotass Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 I think Stevie Y is da bomb....But I don't think he's the best player ever....

brickhouse Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Wayne Gretzky is the best, Guy LaFleur is the second best. In my mind there's no question about those two. For third place, there are a glut of players who could compete, including Maurice Richard, Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Jean Beliveau, Doug Harvey, Bobby Hull, Phil Esposito, Patrick Roy (if you want to could goalies), Mike Bossy, Bobby Clarke, or Mario Lemieux. Personally, while I think Mario MIGHT have been able to have been one of the best, the fact that he retired for three years (yes I know that it was because of cancer, but that really shouldn't go into consideration when looking at the best player ever) hurts him quite a bit, and you really can't be the best player ever if you only played for 13 seasons and only for 2 good teams out of those 13 years (with Jaromir Jagr, a great scorer even without Lemieux in his own right out on the wing). Either way, for me personally, I think Lemieux would barely make my top 10 of all time, if he would at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolahotass Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 Patrick Roy is definately one of, if not theee best goaltender to play the game....** Except when he got his ass kicked there by the Wings (when he played for Montreal:laugh: ) ** What was it we scored like 7 goals or something..... HELL YEAH:eek: Lola:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
