A.Markov vs K.Timonen

[Brucelenok]

Two great defensemen who I feel like were really underappreciated during their careers in NHL especially Markov. Who do you think had a better peak, prime and overall career?

[Binister]

Went with Timonen

 

[Elvs]

Markov for peak but Timonen for career. He was also much healthier which helped.

 

[Mrb1p]

Come the f*** on, how is Markov losing this

 

[1865]

I'm going to be bias here, but Kimmo every day.

 

[MarVell]

This is easily Timonen. Loved his game.

 

[pheasant]

I was nervous voting for Timonen. I expected the results to appear with like %90 for Markov.

Timo was one of the most underrated players I can remember. Glad he's not getting missed again.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Went with Markov.

Sad that he hurted himelf that much, because he was a beast.

 

[tony d]

Timonen. Really liked him as a player.

 

[StoneHands]

Kimmo.

 

[Regal]

Markov was better at his best but it was a short peak and Timonen's health makes career an argument. I would probably still go with Markov though

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Easily Markov. What an underrated player.

 

[Jyssy]

Good poll, went with Kimmo.

 

[Mrb1p]

There's just absolutely no reasons to vote for Kimmo here, he was great and had a long career, but he was never the defenseman that Markov was.

Markov played 110 games less than Timmonen and he still has one more point.

Also, what is all this talk about "longer" career on Timmonen ? Markov is still playing in the KHL at elite levels, he'd still be in the league if it wasn't for dumb Bergevin signing Alzner instead of him.

Funny enough, he's head to head with Mr. Underrated here.

It's almost as if there's more than point totals as a defenseman that could determine his worth.

Are you implying Markov wasn't one the best shutdown D of his time ? Theres just no reason to know so little about Markov.

Your opinion isn’t fact

 

[Mrb1p]

Your opinion isn’t fact

Your isn't either, what is factual is that Markov greatly outproduced Timonen over their career and was an actual 1D from 2003 to 2015.

 

[The Burdened]

Timonen easily

 

[montreal]

Markov was a real treat to watch, if only he didn't have the knee injuries, heck of a passer.

Markov - 572 pts 990 games (.58 ppg playing for some really crap Hab teams)

Kimo - 571 pts 1108 games (.52 ppg)

I never even shared my opinion

I honestly expected Markov to be winning

 

[HyPnOtiK]

Come the **** on, how is Markov losing this

Because timonen is easily the better overall defenseman? Guy was great at both ends. Markov was elite at one end, meh in the other

Lol, Markov.... a shut down D?

W.T.H?

Only problem I have is you gloss over how Timmonen started his career with the Preds who joined the league with a crap expansion roster

Timmonen cause I`m a Flyers fan
Markov cause I`m a Russian
