The first 5

 

[blundluntman]

I'd take the first 5 although I could see people subbing Morenz in there

 

[Rafafouille]

Howe, Hull, Béliveau, Harvey, Plante. Subbed Richard for Plante, Plante was just so much more dominant as a player. Rocket ironically only won 5 of them and never won a scoring title.

 

[ijuka]

TBH, only recognized the first 5 names, so voted for the first 5 names.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Howe, Béliveau, Hull, Richard and Harvey or Plante or Morenz, voted for Harvey

... Rocket ironically only won 5 of them and never won a scoring title.

Agreed. Richard never won the point title, finishing second five times in his career. Montreal fans booed Geoffrion when he surpassed Richard on the final day of the regular season. The fans continued to jeer Geoffrion into the following season.

That was pretty easy actually although I think some might make an argument for Morenz and/or shore to be there but both have holes in their resume IMO and on the main boards some won't even know who they are.

Gretzky, Gordie, and Shore are the only players with 4+ Harts. Morenz was great also.

Sure but with Shore it's really a countign exercise and doesn't mean much.

I mean he is a very good player but is he better than Dennis Potvin who had Hart finishes of 2,4,7,7,9,9?

I'd argue very strongly no he isn't.

The HoH forum disagrees. Morenz and Shore were great.
