I am only adding one this time. I added two the last time to make it ten.Psycho Papa Joe said:Harvey. Add Pilote and Chelios, remove Coffey.
If Bourque wins this one, I will hereby refuse to participate in these polls.

I will be very dissapointed if Bourque wins this one. I don't have Bourque in my top five.
I know what you meant but I'm not removing Coffey. Coffey is better than two players on the list(Stevens and Lidstrom).Psycho Papa Joe said:Reread my post. I don't think Coffey belongs, that's why I suggest adding two. But if you want just one, add Pilote.
As for Bourque, I agree. He's not in my top 5 either. Personally amongst guys I've seen play, Bourque would be behind Potvin, Robinson and Chelios. Bourque just didn't have the physical edge and killer instinct those guys had.

Voted ShorePsycho Papa Joe said:More offensively gifted yes, but he was nowhere near the d-men Stevens and Lidstrom were/are. Way too one-dimensional to be included amongst the all-time greats IMO.

I don't understand the argument against Coffey...whether he was one dimensional or not, the guy scored 100 points 5 times--incredible for a defenseman--and had 89 or higher in three other seasons.
3 Norris trophies: '85, '86, '95
4 Stanley Cups: '84, '85, '87, '91
14x All Star selection.
Think any coach actually wanted a player as gifted as Coffey to stay-at-home?
Stevens and Lidstrom are nowhere near Coffey offensively. Coffey's defence was average. However, he was so good offensively that it didn't really matter. Furthermore, he played in an era where defence didn't matter as much. He wasn't asked to play superb defence.Psycho Papa Joe said:More offensively gifted yes, but he was nowhere near the d-men Stevens and Lidstrom were/are.

Number two has to be Eddie Shore according to your former poll.canucksfan said:Shore won with 37 votes and Fetisov and Stevens will be added next. I am voting for Harvey and add Park.

``A guy that can skate like he can, has all that talent, why can't he play defense?'' Bowman asked. ``He's not as good on the power play as people think. The main thing he can do is carry the puck up the ice, but his work at the point isn't that great.''
Dec. '96.
