Leetch 2 Norris to nieds 1. Leetch

Neids better overall player , Leetch better offensively

Nieds was never given the freedom to roam in NJ that Leetch was given in NYR.

Close, but probably take Nieds.

 

[SuperScript29]

Neids better overall player , Leetch better offensively

This is the correct answer. Watched both in their prime and I'd take Niedermayer.

 

[CraigBillington]

Leetch 2 Norris to nieds 1. Leetch

By that logic, give me Randy Carlyle over Brad Park

 

[Run the Gauntlet]

Leetch a superior player.
Better pk killer.
Better on the PP.
Better playoff performer, more versatile more prolific.
A masterful end-to-end rusher.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Leetch easily.

Give me the guy who led the way vs the guy who played 2nd fiddle

 

[JackSlater]

Leetch pretty comfortably. A lot better offensively, not as good defensively, more consistent, better peak.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Leetch AINEC

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Pretty tough to choose, like both players a lot…. Gun to head and have to choose between the 2 on my team

I think I go Scott… but I understand going leetch…. And if you asked me on a different day I might say leetch.

Leetch was top 5 for the Norris 5 times and Niedermayer 4 times.

Niedermayer also spent the bulk of his career letting Stevens and Pronger do the heavy lifting defensively.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

As a devils fan give me Leetch.

 

[Cup or Bust]

I pick Leetch, He was a more dominant player.

 

[Shane Diesel]

Leetch

Want to win Stanley Cups? Take Niedermayer, want to put up numbers, take Leetch

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Leetch EASILY

 

[blundluntman]

Gonna go with Leetch here.

I mean Leetch did win the cup and a significantly more impressive Smythe than Nieds

This has to be a joke post.

Sure, that negates the other 3 times Niedermayer won the cup.

This has to be a joke post.

Bet if you really try, you could find Scott Niedermayer holding that exact same trophy.... and the Cup 3 additional times. That Cups plural, just like my post not Cup singular like Leetch

I'll take 4 Cups over 1 every day.

Yeah, and how many times did Scott Niedermayer lead the playoffs in scoring?

Right, zero times.

Jean-Guy Talbot won the Cup 5 times so I guess you'd take him over Scott Niedermayer.

Speaking of joke posts.... Well done!

Go ahead and do me a favor and take a look at who I voted for.

Unlike most people I will vote for the player that I feel is correct, the better defenseman that's probably Leetch, but if you want to win Stanley Cups, you take Niedermayer.
