Your world frightens and confuses me
I'm not judging Bobby Hull for Chicago not winning more, I'm judging him for not doing all he could to make his team win.
Let's compare him to a Zetterberg, a player who didn't have a 10th of Hull's talent. Zetterberg spent the 2008 and 2009 playoff finals shutting down Crosby. He also managed to lead the playoffs in goals and points in 2008. Would Hull have been able to do that? Would he have accepted the assignment of forgoing his own scoring to maximize the team's chance of winning?
I don't even have Zetterberg in my top 120, but he's a good example of a player who did everything he could to win. Hull didn't. I guess I'm not that impressed with offense only guys.
The HOH board ranked Hull as the 31th best playoff performer. Can you really be a top 10 player all-time if you aren't a top 30 playoff performer all-time?
Sorry, this arguement does not hold water. Again, do you criticize Gretzky or Lemeiux for not back checking? It's a team game and players have roles. Gainey played the 200 foot game. The much more talented Lafleur produced the offence. With the Hawks, it was Hull's job to produce goals... which he did better than anybody else. He also did very well in the playoffs too, despite what the HOH says. Let's just reproduce their list and save ourselves a lot of time.
