They're identical twins. Can't be that far apart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alflives Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Bure was a unique talent. Hank was a great Canuck too, but Pavel was the best. No one could electrify the building (home and away) like Pavel. He was the “Russian Rocket”. Love Hank, but does he have a hockey nickname of Pavel’s level? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb Nuck Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Voted Bure, nominate Kessler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I can't in good faith vote for Hank without Danny as number 1. It makes much more sense for them to go 2nd and 3rd behind Captain Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb Nuck Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I don’t know if it’s possible but if everyone had 5 votes for different players we’d get a better list, this way won’t we just end up with a whole bunch of nominees with zero votes. Or maybe name the top 10 then we all re-vote with the top 10 removed, rinse/repeat 3 more times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the kind of guys you want to go to war with. Look at what Linden went through in game 7 against the Rangers... AND scored 2 goals. Bure's electrifying, no doubt. The Sedins sorcery is epic. But I want guys who will fight tooth and nail, and do whatever it takes to win. (in a hard hitting, good way) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is if I'm picking a team, I'm going to choose Linden or Smyl before Bure or the Sedins. It's my opinion, but those are the guys I want leading the way. Edit: AJ explained earlier that it's up to our own interpretation of what we think constitutes the best.

I based my vote on who I enjoyed watching the most and hands down it was Bure. Mean streak? I’ve rarely seen Bure throw a hit. Now Mogilny had a mean streak. When motivate, no one could stop Almo. This what Aucoin had to say about Mogilny when they were teammates, here in Vancouver. Quote “Alex, he was not the most motivated guy because he was so &^@#ing good. He was so good it was scary. “He could pass, he could shoot, he could skate, he could even play really physical. I’ve seen him bury guys in the corner, take the puck and go and score because he was pissed off – at will. “(One time) we’re in the locker room and Keenan is all over him. We were like holy $&!# – normally he’s not on Mogilny like that. . “Mogilny looks up, he’s like, ‘Mike, have you ever heard of how I defected, how they &^@#ing threatened my family, how they wanted to kill everybody? You think you’re &^@#ing scaring me?’ “We were like, ‘Holy $&!#.’ It was pretty crazy. Mike didn’t know what to say – he normally gets the last word.” He also said in this interview, if he had a choice between Bure, Almo, or Mess to start a franchise. He would take Mogilny over the other two. Edited March 20, 2020 by shiznak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakrami Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Even though I like Naslund more, gotta give it to H Sedin for taking us to the finals. Naslund was great, didn't have much playoff success though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched most of the games with both them in the lineup - but saying Bure was a better skater and Mogilny was a better everything else including mean streak (Bure did crunch or hit so I'm not sure where this is coming from - and best yes I've read Acuions funny comments before) - other then a personal preference which is understandable. They were both otherworldly talents for sure - and from a pure skill perspective they would go one and two on most lists - Bure/Mogilny followed by the Sedins and Naslund (for now)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
