[tony d]

Went with Sakic and Forsberg.

 

[La Masse]

Sakic and Foppa

 

[bobholly39]

Sakic is better than Yzerman
Forsberg is much better than Fedorov

This isn't really close.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Sakic is better than Yzerman
Forsberg is much better than Fedorov

This isn't really close.

Wouldn't say " Much better".

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Would even out more if you added Lidstrom
and Blake or Bourque to the poll. Sakic and Foppa are easily better than the Wings duo. Adding the best defenseman most of us have ever seen play the game probably sways this the other way.

Bourque > Lidstrom so it makes no difference.

 

[Leonhard Euler]

Bourque > Lidstrom so it makes no difference.

I'm pretty sure you'd be in the minority thinking that.

 

[tucker3434]

Avs Bourque versus Wings Lidstrom wouldn’t be close. In their primes would still be Lidstrom, but much closer. But that’s getting off topic. Went Sakic/Forsberg here.

No he wouldn't be in minority. He'd be a part of the vast majority actually.

 

[Leonhard Euler]

Well looking at full careers I guess it'd be close. I still think plenty me included wout take Lindstrom, but plenty would go the other way. Based on the nature if the poll I assumed we're talking Avs version of Bourque

Looking at their full careers the answer is obvious and it's not Lidas, as for the nature of the poll it mentions the prime of the players in question.

Fair enough for the poll, guess I was looking at the teams included and didn't account for primes with those 2 Ds if added.
Oh well guess I was projecting here. I think Lindstrom is second greatest D all time. But serves me right, Bourque would be taken by most in that comparison I suppose.

For me it's Orr, Harvey, Ray, Lidas.

 

[treple13]

You really can't go wrong picking any of these players. You have three Hart winners and a NHLPA voted league MVP.

I prefer Sakic/Forsberg, but can see why someone might pick the opposite

 

[Yuri35]

Foppa for me is better than all the players mentionned there and big joe is around the same level as Steve and Sergei so I go with the first group.

 

[Silky mitts]

If I get Yzerman in his prime and Fedorov is his prime I’ll take them easily, if it’s got to be when they played together I’ll take Sakic/Forsberg.

 

[GongShowWilly]

close , but Forsberg

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

Fedorov- Yzerman

I think Sakic and Forsberg were better , but I think Fedorov's game would benefit the most from not playing in the clutch and grab era.

Then learn to spell his name correctly. It is Lidstrom. Not Lindstrom.

Honest mistake, but if you're correcting me at least get it right yourself it's Lidström.

 

[Jim MacDonald]

After I casted my vote for Yzerman/Fedorov I was a bit stunned to see the votes casted so far have it with Super Joe and Foppa by such a wide margin....I thought it would be a bit closer!

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

I'm pretty sure you'd be in the minority thinking that.

Not at all, you are in the minority thinking that Lidstrom was better. Bourque is the second greatest defenseman of all time right behind the great Bobby Orr. Lidstrom will always be behind Bourque in the ranking of the greatest defensemen of all time.

The weak link here is Fedorov, Sakic and Yzerman offset each other but Forsberg>Fedorov.
