redhdlois Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just an FYI......the NHL's 100 is being replayed this morning at 10:30 PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 toews/kane/keith should not be there. Guys like Chara, Malkin, Thorton, Iginla, Sedins are all ahead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I like the fact that they didn't rank the top 100 and only listed them alphabetically. Keith and Kane deserve to be in there imo. I feel they could have had more current players. Although, to be fair, I can't comment or relate to many of those players from the "Tim Horton" era of hockey.

You had a fresh crop of next-gen kids who came along and had a step on guys skating-wise but please.... go look at footage of Gretzky shooting the puck. A 12 year old kid these days shoots it harder than he ever did. Plus the goalies back then had the amount of gear that a forward does now. Gretz benefited from being at the right place at the right time, along with a number of others in that era. It also didn't help that he was surrounded by a couple of goons that would slash your teeth out (or threaten to) if you dared touch him. Bure was way more of a pure goal scorer. Not to mention he is one of the fastest forwards to ever put on a pair of skates, and could make plays at that speed that 99% (pun intended) of other guys couldn't even dream of. Do i need to mention he was a mean %$# %$@ as well? Hello Shane Churla? Not ranking the guy overall, but definitely Bure should have been 1st on our Ring of Dung ... i mean "Honour". /rant Were the 1990's a joke as well? 1993-1994 NHL Scoring Leaders: Scoring leaders[edit] Player Team GP G A Pts Wayne Gretzky (age 33) Los Angeles 81 38 92 130 Sergei Fedorov (age 24) Detroit 82 56 64 120 Adam Oates Boston 77 32 80 112 Doug Gilmour Toronto 83 27 84 111 Pavel Bure (age 23) Vancouver 76 60 47 107 Jeremy Roenick Chicago 84 46 61 107 Mark Recchi Philadelphia 84 40 67 107 Brendan Shanahan (age 24) St. Louis 81 52 50 102 Dave Andreychuk Toronto 83 53 46 99 Jaromir Jagr (age 22) Pittsburgh 80 32 67 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to like him but I think he's pretty worthy to be in the top 100. Not sure why people keep bringing up Cup wins in this....unless he was like Patrick Roy in 1986, that achievement reflects more the team he was on than an individual feat.

canuck2288 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Typical NHL garbage list how could the Sedins not be on it? 1000 points does not get you on the list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like Dick Duff getting into the Hockey Hall of Fame because he was on 6 Stanley Cup teams, 2 with Toronto and 4 with Montreal. In Duff's best year he had 53 points in 1959. That same year Gordie Howe had 78. Boom Boom Geoffrion had 66, Bobby Hull had 81. With the Stanley Cup Bias the HHOF has, I'm surprised that Bure made the HHOF and Top 100.

Nope....cups matter. That's way people respect Toews and someone we watch (33) isn't in the same class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy I quoted was referencing Keith - a sack of **** that the league let him gets away with anything on the ice (Sedin wasn't the only guy he cheapshot)...so **** him even more.

I would take Lemieux - he was a giant and he would probably dominate todays style game more than the other two... No question! Super Mario all the way.

Yea valid point but Semenko vs Dionne is a bad comparison. Hey we all hate Keith. He's still an awesome player. Although I think Drew is better.

I suspect its because they are somewhat one dimensional players in that they did not play any defensive roles on the team and did not lead their team to a Stanley Cup. Agree with others though they should be ahead of the current Hawk Players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with others though they should be ahead of the current Hawk Players. To be fair, during their "peak", we had a legit Selke winner at center [in his prime] as well as elite (defensively) Burrows [in his prime] riding shotgun (both with Kesler & the twins). Then Manny behind that. There wasn't any need for the twins to handle defensive roles then (better for the team to have them in offensive roles exclusively - though I do remember Crow using the twins on the PK a bit early in their careers.

SilentSam Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Bure.. incredible. Just knowing he had jumped over the boards would have you on the edge of your seat with your jaw loose. Even in this era Bure would dominate,. the evolution of skates, equipment and sticks would only have made his game excel even more. Such a fast, exciting,creative player. That level and type of game he brought may never be matched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno. Do you consider Ray Whitney one of the top 100 of all time? Patrik Elias? They have 1,000 points. Recchi has >1,500 points and isn't even in the HOF. Andreychuk has >1,300 and is on the outside looking in. The Sedins are great, but top 100 of all time is far from a given. Some great players didn't make this list.

6string Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 After leaving Vancouver his numbers in Florida were still big until injuries into his New York years as he was winding down his career were still remarkable. My all time fave Canuck who would lift you from your seat and have ya pumping your fist in the air and saying YAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt kilgore Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 A no brainer. What is glaring is that he is the only Canuck to make that list. Out of only 30 teams, and that used to be only 14 teams when the Canucks first started in. And we treated him like crap. We just can't have nice things.
