Best Players by Jersey Number (research)

[SGY19]

Pierre Pilote is better




Phil Esposito is better




Dave Keon is better



Bobby Clarke is better




Pavol Demitra is better



45 ??? (his numbers: 4 - BUF, 7 - FLA, 23 - FLA, 44 - CGY)




50 ??? (his numbers:2 - EDM; 4 - TB; 5 - WIN, TB, FLA; 6 - CHI; 32 - WIN; 44 - WAS; 45 - CHI; 55 - MTL, EDM, FLA, NYR)



64 ??? (his numbers:3 - WAS, TOR, DAL; 6 - CHI; 21 - CAR)



36????? (his Numbers: 30 (Atlanta/Calgary); 35 (Quebec); 35 (Winnipeg))

I agree with you on #7 that Phil Esposito was better. As for #14, I'd go with Shanahan. As for #16, both Clarke and Dionne were great players, but Dionne does have a huge edge statwise so I'd probably give it to Dionne. Some of the other players that you questioned I don't know about.

SI's list is actually pretty good. I'm surprised. It's nice to see them show some respect to Yzerman for a change.

BTW on your number list on the second page you have #56 listed as #46.

[PsychoDad]

How everybody keep taking Holmstrom over Bure is beyond me.

 

[pnep]

How everybody keep taking Holmstrom over Bure is beyond me.

Holmstrom 11 seasons (1997-08) > Bure 2 seasons (1995-97)

 

[Beakermania*]

How everybody keep taking Holmstrom over Bure is beyond me.

I didn't use Bure's whole career... only the two seasons he wore the number 95. If I was comparing the whole career of any player who wore a number for one game my list would be a lot different.

For example I put Andrei Kostitsyn ahead of Marty St.Louis for number 46 cause St.Louis wore 46 in calgary and basically did nothing of note while wearing that number; while Andrei Kost at least has one good season with 25g 50pts in that number. Obviously if we count his entire career St.Louis >>>> Kostitsyn.

 

[thefifthsedin*]

I didn't use Bure's whole career... only the two seasons he wore the number 95.

bure never wore number 95 ... he wore number 96

he was crappy in that number, so he changed back to the 10

 

[Bear of Bad News]

bure never wore number 95 ... he wore number 96

Considering that they're comparing Tomas Holmstrom to Bure, it's pretty apparent that it's a typo.

No Wendel Clark for #17?

Guillaume Latendresse #84

[ES]

Since the lists are few years old, some of the stats may have changed during recent years. So are these guys now topping the lists?

5 Lidström
19 Sakic
26 St. Louis
46 Krejci/Kostitsyn
54 Ryan
59 Larose
63 Ribeiro
87 Crosby

Probably some others which I am missing.

haha Just stirring the pot. I can understand people putting Harvey over Shore (I don't) but if you don't at least have him listed I can't take it seriously

 

[Bohemian93]

you have brimsek down as number 1, but of what i remember he wore number 0

 

[finchster]

He wore number 1

 

[Bohemian93]

He wore number 1

i guess i was mistaken with his nickname being mr zero

 

[finchster]

i guess i was mistaken with his nickname being mr zero

Mr Zero was a reference to the amount of goals he would allow

I think for #19 you still have to go with Steve Yzerman as the best player to ever wear that number. Still's it's close between Yzerman and Sakic and you really can't go wrong with either player.

 

[DJ Man]

Bobby Hull wore #7 for a year or two between his #16 and #9. A short time, but prime years.
