How is Lindros your all-time favorite forward and yet not favorite power forward?

How is Lindros your all-time favorite forward and yet not favorite power forward?

It says "overall" forward, not all time. Overall meaning favorite all around forward. You could ask the same about Clowe and Thornton, but you didn't...So i am guessing you understand the difference between those two with my list

Except Lindros was about as much of a power forward as any center could be.

All of the Seals were my favorites, but I did have players on opposing teams that I enjoyed watching, even when they were hammering my Seals

Glen Sather
Derek Sanderson
Guy Lafleur
Billy Smith (and I despised the Islanders)
Bobby Hull
Bobby Clarke
Ed Giacomin
Terry O'Reilly
Andy Brown
Gump Worsley
Marcel Dionne

Yes, he was a power forward. A forward who could hit, make passes, score goals. He could pretty much do it all. I dont understand why your arguing about my list with my personal opinions. [mod edit]

Hmm, not sure it's what you want, but, as a hockey fan and a Montreal Canadiens fan since the early 1950s, here are some of the players from opposing teams whom I particularly admired with my own categories. This is off the top, so don't come at me with omissions.

Disruptive force and yet very talented player (aka pain in the ass): Ted Lindsay and Doug Gilmour (yes, he played briefly for the Canadiens, but he was opposition for most of his career). They are both players I would have loved to have on my team.

Awesome: Bobby Hull

Deceptive: Stan Mikita

Delightful to watch: Denis Savard (same as Gilmour), Paul Coffey, Denis Potvin, Bobby Orr

Fearsome: Gordie Howe

Unbelievable talent and skills: Mario Lemieux

Clever: Wayne Gretzky

Best goaltender: Terry Sawchuk

Best forward combining defensive and attacking skills: Brian Trottier, Dave Keon

Sniper supreme: Mike Bossy

Gets the team going: Eddie Shack aka The Entertainer and The Nose

Reliable, solid performer over a long time although not a star: Eric Nesterenko (who, I just found out, was a racist schmuck)

That's enough for now.
