Nobody cares what you care about. Your opinion based on stats doesnt dictate if they were good or not
And thats cute - in one breathe, discount Mogilny based on stats and then in the next imply a player such as Nichols couldnt have been better than the greats based on his stats
So you choose to follow stats when it suits you but then make counter arguments that go against stats. You walk conversations into circles because you have no direction, your opinion is entirely based on stats. If you actually did watch themplay as you claim, you wouldnt be arguing that Mogilny is the obviously-worst player, consistently making it seem like its undebatable.
But yeah, keep thinking Artemi Panarin is better than Alexander Mogilny lmfao. You hold those stats you love so dearly tight as Panarin scores 2 points in a series to a division rival.
'I dont care who is more skilled' - yeah, that was real evident when you said Mogilny was the worst player of the group. Remind me what else matters in hockey besides skill (or is it Panarin's incredible stature, coming in at 30+ lbs lighter than Mogilny?)
Mark Messier is the 2nd greatest player ever because thats what his stats and awards say. You got it boss
Lol clearly you care because you're replying.
Reading and comprehension clearly aren't your strong suits. I'm "discounting" Mogilny and Nicholls based on their raw goal total, not sure what you're talking about.
What matters is what players accomplish. Real basic concept. Kovalev was 1 of the most skilled players ever, was he 1 of the best players ever?
I've never said a player ranks top whatever because of raw stats lol. Pt/goal/assist/hart finishes (vs peers, not raw totals), awards, stats (with context), playoff performance, eye test all factor into it. Mogilny passed the eye test (when he bothered to put in the effort) but his resume doesn't match his talent level and it definitely doesn't match the players on this list. His best pts finish was 7th. Those aren't stats, that's his performance vs his peers. And it's not good compared to the others listed.
The poll results speak for themselves. Cheers.
