[Rengorlex]

No McDavid? Edit: see you had "of these".

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Crosby. Still very good but already elite at rookie season.

 

[Mrb1p]

Its Crosby. Hes solidifying himself as #5 all time and even challenging Gordie now.

69 points in his last 50 games, the best 34 YO PPG, looking like a world beater in the POs last year...

No McDavid? Edit: see you had "of these".

If youd even consider Mcdavid over Sid at this point of their careers youre a fool.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Crosby, but I hovered of Lidstrom and Jagr.

 

[The Nuge]

It’s clearly McDavid, but of those choices I went Lidstrom

 

[Midnight Judges]

Peak Ovechkin > Peak Crosby

Career Ovechkin > Career Crosby

[Alexander the Gr8]

Crosby, followed by Jagr, Ovi and McDavid in this order at the moment.

McDavid has the potential to overtake everyone however, maybe even Lemieux as well.

 

[um]

Its Crosby. Hes solidifying himself as #5 all time and even challenging Gordie now.

Hahaha

 

[Devil Dancer]

Tough choice, but I went with Brodeur. He's a top 2 or 3 player at his position all time.

Debatable.

LMAOOOO

let's stop with the ppg for once. if he puts up another 100 well see

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Roy
Hasek

Top 2 is a no go

Durnan
No go

Plante
No go

Price
No go

Dryden
No go

Price is better than Broduer? That's even better than Crosby challenging Howe.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Argument can be made for any of Crosby, OV or Jagr. Crosby has the best playoff resume, best prime (didn't have as many stinker seasons as Jagr and OV) and is the better all around player. OV is the GOAT goal scorer, has the most individual hardware and the best peak season of the century. Jagr has the dominant ross wins, the raw totals and is the better "dual threat" (goal scorer+play maker combination).

Peak "level of play": wash
Peak season: OV >= Jagr > Crosby
Extended peak: OV = Jagr > Crosby
Prime: Crosby > Jagr = OV
Playoffs: Crosby > OV >= Jagr

Homer vote for OV.

Price better than Brodeur?

 

[bambamcam4ever]

I see no justification for Brodeur over Roy or Hasek

 

[BraveCanadian]

First thing that comes to mind is best player Jagr, best career Crosby.

Teemu Selanne is really random on that list..

 

[Ben Grimm]

...Teemu Selanne is really random on that list..

Actually your opinion is really random, because that's exactly where the HoH ranked him among players younger than Mario, 10th.

 

[Voight]

Roy
Hasek

Durnan
No go

Plante
No go

Price
No go

Dryden

Price? He isn't even top 10

Even worse you only put Habs goalies..... I would chill on the bleu blanc rouge koolaid.

 

[Garo]

Price? He isn't even top 10

Even worse you only put Habs goalies..... I would chill on the bleu blanc rouge koolaid.

I think the point is that he's not really better than "just" the Habs goalies, though I have zero way of defending Price being there

 

[Mrb1p]

Price? He isn't even top 10

Noted Habs goalie Dominique Hasèque.

And Habs goalies make up 75% of the top 10 of all-time, sorry.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Selanne and Forsberg don’t seem like they belong here.
