Who's The Third Best Player In NHL History?

[newfy]

The answer here should be Howe

Because Orr should've been second and Lemiuex 4th

 

[The Macho King]

How did Lemieux beat Orr for second???

How did Lemieux beat Howe for third?

These polls are junk.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Being the unanimous 4th best of all time is disrespect?

Lemieux is the near unanimous 4th best of all-time among people who know hockey history

 

[Ace of Hades]

Bobby Orr.

Add Doug Harvey.

 

[LarKing]

Orr should’ve been second. Lemieux is so overrated.

 

[Voight]

Gretzky
Orr
Howe
Lemieux

This is how the top 4 typically is listed & how it should be.

It's definitely arguable. We all love Orr, and you can thank Perry Sound for lending him to you, but take your Bruins goggles off. I voted Orr for #2 but I don't think there is any real argument that can put 1 over the other.

Lemeiux was an artist on ice, who has amazing athletic gifts, and put up stats that are absolutely mind boggling.

Orr was a pioneer, and it can be argued that there was never a time where such a huge gap existed between one play and the field. He did something Lemeiux can't claim - he changed the game.

Both are absolute legends that every Canadian child learns about growing up, and will continue to for many eras.

This is why I think it isn't arguable.

Don't blame me; blame democracy.

That's just an interesting way of saying old anglo-Canadian people. Many people disagree.

 

[The Nuge]

Orr and Lemieux should have a run off for 2nd. It was so close.

I think most in the History of Hockey have Orr comfortably second.

That wouldn’t accomplish anything. They had over 93% of the votes between them. It’s not like they were close but half the total votes were split up between other players

 

[SotasicA]

Can't believe Orr is not in the top 2. What's wrong with you people?

 

[Thrasymachus]

Mr Hockey

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

How did Orr not win the last round?

 

[HC7]

Wow. That is really telling. That defence is pathetic and the goalie's are twigs. Karlsson would score 300 points

McDavid would score a goal every other shift.

 

[goonybird]

Lemieux or Howe.
