Naslund and Forsberg

[myrocketsgotcracked]

Funny because I see it the other way around. Naslund is more reliable in the regular season but I look at Iginla as a guy you know you can count on to lead your team come post-season.

i think that is what me2 meant all along, regular season naslund is more reliable, playoff or international turnament iginla is better

 

[kmad]

Ummm....yes.

I'd say Naslund is better than Iginla, but I don't think it's laughable that some people think the other way around. It's pretty close.

That's fair. I don't think the difference is laughable either, I just did not understand why that guy thought it was so funny.

Hey "enforcer", we're still waiting for that list....

Nope, dont want to waste my time doing a list but pretty much everyone on the current world cup rooster for Canada is a better hockey player than Naslund.

 

[enforcer]

Forsberg is....

anyone who doesnt think that Sakic is the best player in the game doesnt know anything about hockey.

Wayne Gretzky doesn't know anything about hockey?

Wayne Gretzky doesn't know anything about hockey?

I bet Wayne would say Sakic is better than Naslund.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

I bet Wayne would say Sakic is better than Naslund.

I bet Wayne Gretzky has already said Naslund is better.

Make a list, I could use a good laugh.

So, Naslund is the best player in the game because #99 said so? :lol

I guess the best knows who the best is, huh?

Maybe not, but one's thing for sure, you should stop betting, you could lose big money.

Naslund isn't even in the same league as Joe Sakic.

Just like you believe Ohlund is better than Thornton! :lol

We all have a little bit of homer in us. Ohlund a better hockey player than Thornton? Come playoff time yes (so far), but I dont truly believe Ohlund is better than Thornton.

Naslund ''not even'' in Sakic's league?

Sakic:
03-04 81GP 33G 54A 87PTS
02-03 58GP 26G 32A 58PTS
01-02 82 GP 26G 53A 79PTS
Total last 3 years:
221GP 85G 139A 224PTS

Naslund
03-04 78GP 35G 49A 84PTS
02-03 82GP 48PTS 56A 104PTS
01-02 81GP 40G 50A 90PTS
Total last 3 years:
241GP 123G 155A 278PTS

Seems to me like Naslund has outscored Joe by quite a bit over the past few years.

Try last 5 years. Try the playoffs. Not even close.

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

Naslund:

Gp G A P

26 7 12 19


Sakic:

Gp G A P

142 71 86 157

Naslund is quite the playoff performer.

What Naslund and Sakic did in 1998 and 1999 is irrelevent, Sakic was in his prime 5 years ago while Naslund was just a kid. We're talking about current day Tito, perhaps something you're unfamiliar with.

The current day you say? Who outscored who this season? Hmmmm.... Sakic

 

[Burnaby_Joe*]

Sakic was in his prime 5 years ago? I beg to differ; he's still top 5 in the league.

 

[mcphee]

The top 10 or so forwards are so close in ability that it comes down to the situation they play in. Using a moronic looking head shaker to illustrate how a Sakic is vastly superior to a Naslund [or vice versa]is just a way of not backing up an arguement. Whoever claimed that Naslund was inferior to anyone on Team Canada, if I ever get a GM job, I hope you're in the league for me to trade with. Sure Naslund can't compete with Morrow,Draper, Ryan Smyth and co. [and I love those 3 players.]

I wonder sometimes, is it that important to think you're right ?

Who played the final 20 games + 7 playoff games with a lacerated elbow and post-consussion syndrome?

I'm guessing Naslund or else you're arguing against yourself

As for my opinion on Sakic/Naslund (even though the topic is Naslund/Forsberg)

I think if you ask any GM in the league or any person "in the know," who the most consistent players over the past 3 years have been, they'd say Sakic and Naslund. Sakic has obviously had the better career, but at this stage they're about as close as you can get when it comes to two hockey players.
