hockeyville88 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 They clearly weren't refering to his time with the Canucks when they named Messier #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Fully agree with the OP, Stevens and Lemieux should absolutely be on this list. Messier wasn't anything special, he just got the dirty stuff done while still wearing the C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustapha Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Then name someone more deserving. Crosby at the age of 25 has accomplished more than most of the players on that list have when they were at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I I heard this guy is pretty good. Word on the street is he accomplished more than Sidney ever will by the time he grew pubic hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Messier is so over-rated it's not funny. Lots of points? Absolutely! Talented. Yes. Was he a slouch? No way. But the media have painted him as this leadership genius. I didn't see that when he played. Sorry my number one. Jean Beliveau 10 Stanley Cup Wins. 1219 Points in 1125 Games, 1029 pims, 176 points in 162 playoff games. Winner of the Smythe, Art Ross trophies, Two time Hart Trophy Winner, 14 All-Star Games. 6 Time First Team All-Star, 4 Times Second Team All-Star On top of it, even players who played against him respected him. That's leadership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
