Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
It would be a very defensible take to say that the three best players in this poll are all on Line 2. It is bananas that this is 50/50, let alone that people are saying "Line 1 AINEC"
The fact that this poll is close tells me that people are seriously, seriously not aware of how dominant Guy Lafleur was.
Put Lafleur with a Kopitar-level defensive center and your gameplan gets really simple. Kariya’s not even necessary, he just adds an aesthetic element for how you’re going to get the puck to Lafleur and watch him score.
Paul Kariya was a pigeon and a floater.
Guy Lafleur was dominant until he was 28.
Datsyuk can take the puck away from Lafleur easily and their line will struggle to get it back.
Funny to criticize Lafleur for “only” dominating the league until he was 28, then pimp Datsyuk who did nothing at all until he was 25.
Lafleur had a 6-year run where he was top 5 for the Hart every year, won two Harts, three Pearsons/Lindsays, a Smythe, three scoring titles.
Datsyuk had a 3-year run where he won three Selkes and two Byngs.
They are not the same.
No not at all.It appears Lafleur is one of the most underrated hockey players of all time.
Lol.
Datsyuk and Hossa are the best defensive wingers in the history of the NHL and are the best players to strip the puck off of people and played in the modern age were most players are FN good. Bergeron is one of the best defensive Centerman of all time.
Kariya was a Floater and a Pigeon who kept waiting for the puck at the blue line then would make a break when the puck was turned over. Guy Lafleur was a great player but wasn’t dominant when better younger players start entering the NHL . He’s a pre Modern era player. Sorry that fact may hurt your feelings but that’s true.
Lol.

Far from it, i have the HOH board and hockey reference to thank for what i know about past players lol, but thanks anyways.Felidae one of the best hockey minds on these boards
Well I guess I should say most exquisite minds. I think your curiosity to learn and fun way of looking at things is coolFar from it, i have the HOH board and hockey reference to thank for what i know about past players lol, but thanks anyways.
Because I think if you had a lineup of 3 Kopitar-caliber possession players, the answer would be different, or at least closer.
Like if this is Datsyuk - Bergeron - Hossa vs Barkov - Kopitar - Toews, you got yourself a war.
