Is it called mount loserville??

What are you talking about, Aki Berg is in there. it's obviously the top 4 players of all time......

 

[Samsquanch]

Pretty easy answer when there are 4 players that are consistently in discussion for the GOAT.

Beyond that, Howe, Orr, Gretzky and Lemieux all did a lot to help grow the game in their own way, and have very recognizable faces that nearly everyone can appreciate.

 

[EXTRAS]

Bure, Bertuzzi, Petterson, q hughes.

Shutup I'm not biased.

 

[the_fan]

Matt Cooke
Sean Avery
Todd Bertuzzi
Darcy Tucker

They are dirty just like the presidents on Mount Rushmore

 

[aufheben]

This isn’t even a subjective question.

 

[North Cole]

Jiri Hudler

That looks like a god damn horror film.

HERE'S JIRI!

 

[EXTRAS]

Bure, Bertuzzi, Petterson, q hughes.

Shit. And gino odjick. Played poker against him once. Went all in with a shit hand against him just to be able to say I "knocked out Gino" and I won. His hands were as big as my head.

Why the blatant disrespect to the ‘Berta god Messier?

Who's he? Cant say I recognize the name...

 

[sabresEH]

Gretzky, Lemieux, Howe, Orr.

I think this is the proper answer. However I voted for Crosby instead of Lemiuex just to have kind of one from each era in a sense. Howe - old school hockey, Orr - changing the game to more skill, Gretzky - dominating the skill era Bobby started, Crosby - the start of the 2 way game era

 

[deca guard]

orr had 7 great seasons , bourque had like 20 excellent with many great seasons . longevity matters imo :
GRETZKY - HOWE - BOURQUE - ROY

 

[kevsh]

Sundin? Kariya? Clarke? McDavid? Brett Hull?

Just looking to stuff the field a little?

In any case, this was a foregone conclusion: The big 4. Ask 10 years from now, it'll likely still be those four.

 

[Regal]

The only member of the big 4 I can see taking out is Lemieux. His career mostly overlapped Gretzky's and Gretzky did everything Lemieux did and more, while playing the same position. Gretzky also did it first, showing that those video game numbers were possible. As great as Lemieux was, I think Gretzky, Howe and Orr all had more influence on the game and the players to come. Even though Lemieux was better, I can see putting Hasek or Roy to represent the goalie position, Crosby or Ovechkin to represent the most recent era (and Ovechkin for arguably the beat goalscorer), or someone like Morenz or Shore to represent eras before Howe. I'm honestly not sure who to go with, though it does feel weird not to go with Lemieux

You're right that it feels weird. Lemieux is the 2nd best player in history. Arguably had a peak like Gretzky. No need to represent a goalie when they're a whole level behind Lemieux.

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Hasek, Hemsky, Luongo, Draisaitl.

HM: Sergei Samsonov, Marchant, Kovalchuk

Hasek is the goat.
Hemsky is my goat.
Luongo is who I wanted to be when I was a kid.
Draisaitl is my current favourite.

Samsonov was a player I always liked. I was so happy to see him play for the Oilers.
Marchant go fast.
Kovalchuk go snipe.

 

[SotasicA]

Orr, Gretzky, Howe and Probert.

Four different players, each best at what they did.

 

[AvroArrow]

I think 99% of hockey fans would agree on this

Can we do a poll for the mount Rushmore of hockey scumbags ?

 

[Fandlauer]

Gretzky, Howe, Orr, Richard

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Iginla, Aho, Rinne and Selänne.

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

Richard Orr Gretzky Ovechkin

based on their impact on the game as a whole.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I have three versions, but everybody seems to agree with my main picks of what it should be.

 

[deca guard]

Richard Orr Gretzky Ovechkin

based on their impact on the game as a whole.

just wanted to say i agree about making nets larger . going with the tweener hybrid rink would also help make more room for the talent to operate in
