Which trio of players are more well known

[Xspyrit]

Average NHL fan today for sure the contemporary players, but overall Howe, Jágr, Lemieux are more famous. Although I suppose Ovechkin has become more notorious of late.

This sounds like pure nostalgia. The NHL has a much much bigger audience than before

There's also the technology/internet effect. People were not able to surf on the internet while being on the bus, metro, work, home, etc.

This feels more like a poll to generate posters approximate age. Sly way to find out HF demographics

The poll question is "which trio is more well known/popular to the average fan" so I see it as everyone and not just HF where we are obviously bigger hockey fans than the average person

A lot of non-hockey fans watched certain players at the Olympics, the NHL has never had a global appeal and certainly doesn't now.

Kind of feels like Howe should be swapped for Gretzky.

Lemieux, Jagr, and Gretzky

was about to say this. Add in Gretzky which would make more sense given the other group has its eras best 3 players, and this isnt close.
