What is the purpose of this vs. the other one you just did for picking the 6 best players?

 

[geebster]

Bourque over Roy is just crazy

personally I refuse to vote for goalies in polls like this. They should be their own category.

Thats fair. An all time great goalie's impact on winning is going to be immeasurably higher than most people on the ice just on the basis they are out there all 60.

That said when D and Forwards are there you are comparing apples to oranges there too to some degree when talking about who has bigger impact etc.

who's better, Sidney Crosby or Vesa Toskala?

 

[Rorschach]

Recency and regular season bias.

I like players with multiple Conn Smythe’s the best. If I can have five all time greats, of course my goal is to win the Stanley Cup.

So is it Cups or Conn Smythe's? Make up your mind

 

[Bouboumaster]

Crosby
Jagr
Hasek
Roy
Lafleur

You know when you have a player on your team that won the Conn Smythe, you almost always won the Cup too, right?

 

[M88K]

With an all time name like Vesa? That'll get locked quick

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

I believe it's multiple "Conn Smythes" and not "Conn Smythe's."

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Bourque, Crosby, Jagr, Hasek, Lidstrom

 

[amnesiac]

Crosby
Jagr
Hasek
Ovie
Bourque

 

[Crow]

Bourque over Roy is just crazy

Lidstrom over Bourque is what I find crazy.

Crosby
Jagr
Hasek
Ovie
Bourque

me too!

 

[Teppo Numenor]

Messier and jagr easily the best two players on this list

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Roy, Crosby, Hasek, Lindstrom and Jagr sorry OV

 

[wetcoast]

The first 5 players.

After roy yes.

Truth be told though Hasek/roy are interchangeable for me as I don't really know enough about goalies to accurately rank them.

Potvin is being seriously disrespected in this poll. The question is “best player” not “longest career”. Potvin at his peak has an argument to be a top-3 player on this list.

@tarheelhockey 100% agreed. I was gonna post that. Including Orr, Potvin is one of the top four post-O6 dmen of all time.
