how bout the 7-time Norris winner. Should be top 10 easily.


add Dionne.... lack of playoff success on a bad Kings team shouldnt factor in that much

 

[ScaredStreit]

Messier, add Trottier.

 

[Iceman]

Harvey... hello???

 

[TheMule93]

Bourque or Harvey,, I think Lidstrom was a place or two too high also

No ones downplaying Lidstrom.

The difference between him and Bourque is that Nik didnt fight for the Norris against the likes of: Robinson, Potvin, Coffey, Chelios, MacInnis, Leetch, Pronger, Stevens, Langway, Blake, Murphy..... ALL HOFers.

1st team AS selections
Bourque 13
Lidstrom 10
Harvey 10

How is Messier still not up there?

 

[Polar Bear]

How is Messier still not up there?

He's too clutch for this board.

 

[Beerz]

Hasek at 7? ...

This list is tainted.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Lidstrom at number TWELVE?

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

Lidstrom at number TWELVE?

Yep and the fact he is also before Bourque is very laughable too.

 

[Captain Bowie]

How is Messier still not up there?

Because he's not better than Doug Harvey or Ray Bourque all-time?

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Yep and the fact he is also before Bourque is very laughable too.

No. Lidstrom was clearly better.

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

No. Lidstrom was clearly better.

LOL not at all, Bourque will always be the best of both.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

LOL not at all, Bourque will always be the best of both.

No.

More Norrises, more Cups.

Better defensively, equal offensively.

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

No.

Better defensively, equal offensively.

Played in the weakest era ever for defensemen and on the most stacked team for nearly all his career.

Equal defensively and certainly not equal offensively.

Bourque was just better plain and simple.

Bourque was just better plain and simple.

He is better at being Canadian, and barely even that.

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

He is better at being Canadian, and barely even that.

What an argument...

What an argument...

I know, right?

 

[Tuna Tatarrrrrr]

I know, right?

Yep, you know that I'm right. Bourque was better than Lidstrom.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Of all time? Are we suppose to rank for a teams whole lifetime or is this more recent years?
