THN's 100 people of power and influence in hockey

[GentlemanOfLeisure]

Lamoriello should be ahead of Harly Hockiss and Stephen Wolkum.

 

[shakes]

Curious no one from MLSE is on there...

 

[Stevedude530]

hypnotoad should be on the list.

 

[Guy Legend]

That I can see... they have produced one of the best hockey games since what? 1992?

Best until Sega/2k Sports came out.

 

[Crazy_Ike]

No Al Strachan on the list, I see... that explains why he was taking more shots at the league office in today's article.

Wait... he does that every article...

 

[Ogopogo*]

Linden is ranked far too high.

 

[Captain Ron]

hypnotoad should be on the list.

He is.......all hail Hypnotoad.

10. Red Wings left winger Brendan Shanahan
9. Devils GM Lou Lamoriello
8. NHL director of officiating Stephen Walkom
7. NHL VP of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell
6. NHLPA Executive Director Ted Saskin
5. Flames owner Harley Hotchkiss
4. Canucks center/NHLPA President Trevor Linden

2. NHL Deputy Comissioner Bill Daly
1. Hypnotoad

Pat Quinn is on there. Ken Dryden would have probably been on there in past years. JFJ isn't experienced or outspoken enough to make the list and the less said about Richard Peddie the better.

 

[Stevedude530]

Well, Everybody Loves Hypnotoad has been going downhill since Season 3, so maybe that's why.

Another Canadian BIASED report... and I'm Canadian even. The list is a joke in several ways but I only have time at the moment to point out two:

90. TSN/OLN/NBC Analyst Pierre McGuire

Power and influence? Maybe with the kiddies and marginal fan.

Where the heck is Glen Sather??, president and general manager of the New York Rangers, the most watched team in professional hockey (and I am NOT a NYR fan). He could trade Jagr in a heartbeat. The guy is all hockey on many levels and he doesn't crack the top 100 in power and influence yet a bunch of yahoos make the list and players like Kovalchuk is rated high, why? he might throw another tantrum? I don't get it. POWER and INFLUENCE... how do they define that?

Two thumbs down.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

88. NY Post columnist Larry Brooks

HAHAHAHAHA

 

[MojoJojo]

One of the goals in my life...is to get on this list.

97. Go_Kim_Jonsson_514 - poster extraordinaire Hockeys Future website
98. Kim Johnson - defenseman Philadelphia Flyers

The funny thing is you have Kim Johnsson's name spelled 3 different ways in the same post. Was that on purpose?

 

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

Christiane Ayotte

She's a bouffon... What the **** is she doing on that list?

 

[Montrealer]

(Pierre McGuire)

Power and influence? Maybe with the kiddies and marginal fan.

I like him. I guess that makes me a kiddie or a marginal fan, or something.

Dreger has many NHL sources and breaks most of the stories for Sportsnet

Ummm you do know that it's Scott Morrison that actully breaks a lot of the stories through whomever he knows.
Few surprising people left off the list.

I was just replaying what THN wrote about Dregger
