LeanBeef Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Congrats to Milan Lucic! He has been named the #1 TRUE (Classic) Powerforward in the NHL with 40.74% of the vote! Rick Nash has been added to the poll Who is the #2 Top True Powerforward in the NHL? Please note who you voted for and nominate for the next round Top 15 1) Milan Lucic 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15) Just to clear things up, the term "power forward" is very confusing and can be interpreted in many ways. Just so you know, back in the day, players like Lindros, Tocchet, Stevens, and Neely were all considered true powerforwards; Big players with the ability to hit, power their way onto the net, protect the puck well, be hard to move in front of the net, create space for linemates, willing to drop the mits, all while contributing offense. Are players like Nash really like that? The guy needed Taylor Pyatt or Ryane Clowe on his line to create space for him. "In ice hockey, power forward is a loosely applied characterization of a forward who is big and strong, equally capable of playing physically or scoring goals and would most likely have high totals in both points and penalties." Examples of classic PFs in the NHL today Lucic Clowe Stewart Kassian Bertuzzi Clifford Simmonds Iginla Morrow Backes Hartnell Doan Examples of the Modern Powerforward Nash Booth Kesler (with all the modern powerforwards being mentioned im still surprised no one nominated him) Ovechkin Ryan M Richards Getzlaf Perry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langdon Algur Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Voted Iggy Nominate Perry, plays an in your face game, gets lots of penalties and capable of scoring goals. Seems to fit the definition to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelon Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 IF this is career as a whole then how is Burtuzzi not #1? He was one of the best powerforwards to play the game and I would rather take a 26 year old Burtuzzi over a 25 year old Lucic. Anyway Vote Burtuzzi Nominate Ovi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
