7 Norris trophiesYou spelled Doug Harvey wrong.
C'mon Man get with the program.all the jinxing here. I expect him to never come to America now or be another Kostitsyn.![]()
There’s the league, then what both players offer. Celebrini has the Center premium.Really? There's lots of 19/20 yrs old in the MHL. Playing on Demidov's line were two 20 yrs old.
I find the MHL to be maybe a bit stronger than the USHL. It's pretty close tho, not too shabby.
Would've been more if the trophy existed earlier too. 2nd best blueliner in the history of the league.7 Norris trophies![]()
In a six team league. Chelios won 3 in a 25-30 team league. Comparable.7 Norris trophies![]()
Doesn't matter. A 30 team league simply means the talent is watered down. In a six team league you're playing against superstars every night. If it's not Rocket Richard, it's Bobby Hull. If not Hull then it's Gordie Howe. If not Howe then you're playing Red Kelly. Every night it's the best players in the world.In a six team league. Chelios won 3 in a 25-30 team league. Comparable.
People keep making this stupid argument. It was far more difficult to play when the talent wasn't spread out over 25-32 teams.In a six team league. Chelios won 3 in a 25-30 team league. Comparable.
It was easier to win the Cup (1 chance out of 6) but you still had to go against the 36 best defenders in the world.In a six team league. Chelios won 3 in a 25-30 team league. Comparable.
Chelios had most of his success after he left Montreal. Harvey all day...every day.In a six team league. Chelios won 3 in a 25-30 team league. Comparable.
Chelios won zero cups in his prime w Hawks - did they even make it to a Cup final?Chelios had most of his success after he left Montreal. Harvey all day...every day.
Yes in 1991-92 Chelios lost in the cup final with Chicago against Lemieux pens.Chelios won zero cups in his prime w Hawks - did they even make it to a Cup final?
I do agree about Harvey - to me generational refers to redefining how a given position is played.
Harvey changed the way Dman played the position - there is no Orr, Coffey, Makar without Harvey.
The NHL changed the rule book on minor penalty being over after goal is scored in large part due to Harvey’s puck possession in leading the PP attack which was unstoppable.
Dman didn’t lead a PP rush before Harvey
They're probably going to keep it very hush hush, but it's nice to know they're on this.

Of course!! Imagine Armstrong's disappointment if the Habs picked Iginla and left Demidov on the board for Utah
Richard was generationalThe players I would call generational are (outside of goalies) : Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr, Howe, Crosby and McDavid.
A tier below that, I would have the Ovechkin, Ray Bourque, Jagr, Lidstrom of this world.
