[TheNextOneX]

Besides Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux, who do you consider the third greatest Canadien forward of all time?

You'll put this forward in this line if you were able to go back in time:

Gretzky - Lemieux - ?

If you're asking for a Canadian forward, I'd vote for Gordie Howe.

If you're asking for a Canadien forward, I'd vote for Guy Lafleur, after Jean Beliveau and Rocket Richard.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Howe, easily.

 

[Reds4Life]

Gordie is the best forward ever (or second best if you have Wayne over him).

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Mario Lemieux is the third best Canadian forward.

Gretzky and Howe are the top 2.

Oh and if you have Gretzky and Lemieux on the same line, Gretzky has to play at center with Lemieux at LW. That's how they skated together in the Canada Cup.

Gordie Howe.

 

[Eisen]

Mario is third for me after Gretzky and Howe.

 

[lextune]

The three greatest forwards of all time are Gretzky, Howe & Lemieux. In that order.

If this is a trick question (re: the spelling) then this....

If you're asking for a Canadien forward, I'd vote for Guy Lafleur, after Jean Beliveau and Rocket Richard.

someone already beat me to the "canadian/canadien" semantics already... dang.

Anyway, the answer is Lemieux. Best two are Howe and Gretzky.

 

[Big Phil]

Montreal Canadien: Beliveau, Richard and the 3rd being Morenz (sorry Guy)

Canadian: Gretzky, Howe and Mario. I've seen arguments that mixed that order up but never have I seen a serious poster put anyone but those three among the top 3

 

[Blades of Glory]

I was flying into this thread with Howie Morenz in hand.

Lemieux is actually 3rd. Gordie Howe is 2nd.
