[LittlePipes]

Who are your top 5 all time Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes players ?

Mine:
Doan
Big Walt
Roenick
Teppo
Brierre

Honorable mention:
Keller
OEL

 

[Arizonatah]

For me it's:

Tkachuk
Roenick
Doan
Numminen (sp?)
Burke

Quite a few honorables:

Keller
OEL
Jovanovski
Khabibulin
Nagy
Briere

 

[wbwing]

Doan
Keller (think he has even more in him)
OEL (peak couple years were special)
Tkachuk
Numminen

 

[GhostofTommyBolin]

Datsyuk
Voracek
Weber
Little
Hossa

Just kidding.

Doan
Numminen
Roenick
OEL
Bryzgalov for the interviews

 

[Grimes]

Not even going to waste a spot on Doan because he has to be #1 for so many reasons. So he is in an untouchable tier like Gretzky that doesn't need to be discussed.

Tkachuk
Khabibulin
Vrbata
Yandle
Keller

Honorable Mentions
Hanzel, Boyd Gordon, Derick Morris, Domi+Duclair (not separated), Guenther/Cooley (technically Utah property), Nuemminen, Connor Murphy (not joking) BIZ NASTY, and Mike Smith (love him or hate him that run was amazing)

1996-2024
Doan, Tkachuk, Keller

If I'm just talking guys I was here to see (2013-2024), replace Tkachuk with Hanzal and replace Numminen with Yandle.

Same 5 for me, but the order is different.

Doan
Numminen
Keller
OEL
Vrbata

With honorable mention going to Yandle, Hanzal, and Nagy.

 

[LittlePipes]

It would be very nice to see the Governor award Doan something that speaks to his legend and legacy in the context of AZ hockey. He truly deserves it.

 

[Prarievarg]

Same 5 for me, but the order is different.

Doan
Numminen
Keller
OEL
Vrbata

With honorable mention going to Yandle, Hanzal, and Nagy.

Would be my next three as well.

Dang, I forgot about Z, he also belongs in my honorable mention group.

 

[Sinurgy]

Oh man that's tough, I have so many favorites I don't think I could make a top 20 without feeling like I left someone out. Buuuuut....here goes:

Shane Doan (duh)
-------------
-------------
-------------
Keith Yandle
Derek Morris
Martin Hanzal
OEL
Radim Vrbata

It hurts not including Keller but I have such an attachment to those early Tippet teams. They were just so fun to watch and had a lot of on ice success which of course resulted in a run to the Western Conference Finals (f*** you Dustin Brown)!!

 

[Dr VinnyBoombatz]

If we're just going favorites, then my list

Doan
OEL
Jovo
Morris
Whitney

 

[Sinurgy]

Dang, I forgot about Z, he also belongs in my honorable mention group.

Exactly...there are so many favorites that limiting to 10 seems impossible let alone 5 which is surprising for a franchise that unfortunately did not have much success. I didn't even include Briere and he's the reason I even found HF in the first place. I was so angry about them trading him and had no outlet to rant, that ultimately led me to HF.

 

[Schemp]

...anyone who had the privilege of wearing the kachina!

Ray Whitney made the western final season happen !

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Ray Whitney made the western final season happen !

Ray Whitney was the only person on the planet who made me want to watch Todd Walsh interview someone on the ice.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

Ray Whitney was the only person on the planet who made me want to watch Todd Walsh interview someone on the ice.
