Here is my list of Greatest International Scorers. It uses the same method that all of my other scoring lists use but, this only includes the scoring results from best on best international tournaments.
What is included is Canada Cups from 1976, 81, 84. 87, 91.
World Cups from 1996, 2004
Olympics from 1998, 2002
To use the 1972 summit series would be unfair as, only two countries participated in that. Using world championships would also skew the results because the best players in the world are usually competing for the Stanley Cup during that tournament.
So, here are the greatest performers in international play. After #1 there are many surprises.
1 Wayne Gretzky 31
2 Brett Hull 17.5
