I voted for Wisniewski. What he did to Sean Avery makes Wis an all-time great in my book.

I haven't checked the results, but I assume it's Mats Hallin in a runaway....

I don’t care what your “facts” or “well informed opinions” say, nothing could make me not vote for Steve Webb.

I felt the same way about Mats Hallin. He was a bad-ass. His ancestors obviously migrated to Sweden via Sicily.

 

[Strummergas]

Do some folks really not know that Nystrom is #23?

 

[BKIsles]

Saving my Webb vote for #62.

Maybe tomorrow you'll learn not to be so literal?

Pretty sure most people are gauging this based on how each player played while wearing the number in question, and Nystrom didn't really do much while wearing #20 (11 games, 2 pts). There's good reason #23 is hanging in the rafters for him and not #20. On the flipside, Ferarro had a 40g 80pt season, not to mention leading the team in scoring in the '93 playoff run, while wearing #20 for the Islanders.

But I wouldn't take any of this too seriously, there's no clear established criteria for what is being voted on so it doesn't really mean a lot and should be taken for what it is, a fun way to kill time and talk hockey during the summer.

All your pretty words and logic just distract people from the obvious truth that Mats Hallin is the correct answer.

Ray Ferraro’s playoffs in 1993 were phenomenal.
