Have you ever seen the Summit Series? He made men look like boys. I want to see your justification for leaving him out of the top 5.
I think you are over-using this notion of Canadian hockey exceptionalism.
Well of course there is a gargantuan bias, this is a Canadian forum. But after seeing the list it seems the people who voted are stuck in their little universe without much thought for the outside world and how it compares.
Like someone else said, no one else in the Summit Series makes my top 10.

Gordie Howe was far better in a stronger league than Kharlamov was.
Kharlamov was good, not nearly as great as your think he is.
Answer me this, if he was so great why isn't his domestic resume better?
