Here are the ten best pure goal-scorers ever, as Yours Truly sees it...
1. Mike Bossy
- I don´t know anybody else who the word ´goal-scorer´ would describe better. The deadliest (wrist) shot ever? And yeah, he´s my favorite Canadian player.
2. Mario Lemieux
- He was a decent goal-scorer also
3. Maurice Richard
- Can´t say that I know an awful lot about Rocket, but I guess he belongs here...
4. Bobby Hull
- He scored a few with his slapshot
5. Phil Esposito
- Mr. Garbage Goal
6. Anatoli Firsov
- The only player who has scored more than a goal a game in World Championship history. Maybe you think that´s nothing, but how come no one else has done it?
7. Boris Mikhailov
- The Soviet Espo? Physically no, but yeah, it was more about the quantity and less about the quality of goals that mattered to him
8. Brett Hull
- Now where did he get that shot?
9. Wayne Gretzky
- Okay, no one else has ever scored as many goals on one season or overall (in the NHL), but it´s still hard for me to place him higher. First and foremost, he was a passer and set-up man
10. Vladimir Krutov
- So his career was a little disappointing in the end, but he was a scoring-machine during the ´80s
Honourable mentions: Jari Kurri, Guy Lafleur, Pavel Bure, Vaclav Nedomansky, Valeri Kharlamov, Sergei Makarov
It could be mentioned that (of the top-10 players) Bossy, Richard, Bobby Hull (NHL), Boris Mikhailov and Brett Hull all have more career goals than assists, whereas Lemieux, Esposito (quite surprisingly!) and of course Gretzky all have more assists than goals. I don´t know about Firsov and Krutov...
