Martin St. Louis vs Jarome Iginla

[PatrickMcC]

Who was the better player?

 

[Bouboumaster]

St-Louis peaked at "being the best player in the World", altho it was only for one or two Seasons

I went with him

Close poll

 

[AvroArrow]

Great poll, extremely close

Going with Iggy

Better goal scorer, physical, could fight and hit like a truck

Close poll

Iggy from 2002 says hi.

 

[koyvoo]

Good poll

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Difference between them isn't big but it's clear.

Iginla everytime.

 

[Jarey Curry]

Think about putting them on a line together wow

 

[BraveCanadian]

Damn it’s really close I think but I’ll say Iggy. He was a force on an island by himself.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...Iggy was one of those Unicorns that could do it all...

 

[Master P]

Marty

 

[Hippasus]

Iginla for career.

 

[Voight]

Iggy putting uo the numbers he did with Craig Conroy as his center speaks volumes.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I went iggy , really close

 

[hangman005]

Imagine if they played on the same.

*sits down in the corner and cries*

 

[Machinehead]

I went with Iginla just because he had a longer career. There wasn't much to separate them.

There is though.. Marty played far fewer games and won 2 more art ross trophies and a stanley cup OVER Iginla.

There is though.. Marty played far fewer games and won 2 more art ross trophies and a stanley cup OVER Iginla.

He has 2 more Art Ross trophies and a Stanley Cup over Dale Hawerchuk.

He has an Art Ross trophy and a Cup over Marcel Dionne.

He has two more Art Ross trophies than Brett Hull.

He has more Art Ross trophies than Alex Ovechkin.

Hard to not vote for MSL. He was a supreme talent. But I'm going with Iginla here for the physical factor.

 

[Voight]

There is though.. Marty played far fewer games and won 2 more art ross trophies and a stanley cup OVER Iginla.

He consistently had better line mates than Iginla.

Any one of Richards, Lecavalier or Stamkos would've been by far the best line mate Iginla ever had in his prime.

By the time Iggy got to play with elite talent, his prime was over.

Iginla also made the Olympic team in 2010 OVER St Louis if you wanna go that way.

St Louis was a key part of the Tampa team that won in 2004, but replace him with Iginla and they still likely win. He had a better team around him than Iggy did that year.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Iginla. Bigger, more physical, tougher and more intimidating, better goal scorer, more longevity, and won an Art Ross with Craig Conroy and Dean McAmmond as his line mates.

The only thing St. Louis really has over Iginla is team success, which is a dumb argument in these type of comparisons 95% of the time, and this is no exception.

St. Louis has an additional Art Ross (in a half season), but Iggy has an additional Rocket (shared), so I’d call it even on that front.

I don’t see how you could pick St. Louis without being a homer.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Oof, that's tough. Good poll.

There are strong arguments for both. I can't decide yet.

Iggy has an art Ross so msl has 1 over him.

Iggy also has 2 rockets. He lost the Hart to a goalie but he was the Pearson winner.

Tampa was way better than the flames in 04 , that's a team win.

Iggy was better , saying this as a bigger msl fan. It is close though

 

[slapKing]

Close. Both played at the same time, but Iginla was viewed as the better/greater/more valuable player (despite MSL having a hart) and having those intangibles. Going with Iginla.
