Crosby ovechin lidstrom malkin. Wanted to go McDavid but just not enough yet to put him over malkins career.

 

[Shakey Rustie]

Mario Lemieux?

Crosby, Ovechkin, Mcdcvid, Lidstrom

Crosby
Malkin
Lidstrom
Ovechkin

 

[CanadienShark]

Crosby, Ovechkin, Lidstrom are all locks. I want to put McDavid #4, but Malkin probably takes it.

HM: Kane, Thornton, McDavid.

If we're talking pure ability, not considering longevity, then replace Malkin with McDavid and call it a day.

 

[Grub]

Evander Kane, de Angelo, Avery, Todd Bertuzzi

If we were to buy a fake small replica from a giftshop in vegas.

Mario Lemieux?

I’d say he counts more for the 1900s since his best years were there. Fair point though as he did still have a few pretty high end years

 

[holy]

OV, Brosby, Malkin, Kane

I don’t like McDavid’s face and Lidstrom idc who needs D when you have Gs, am I right?

 

[Bizz]

Thornton x4

 

[Arthur Morgan]

I don't know about who the 4 should be but one should be Aki Berg

Bold of you to assume the 4 faces on Mt Rushmore are the 4 best presidents.

 

[sxvnert]

Bold of you to assume the 4 faces on Mt Rushmore are the 4 best presidents.

From a "building america" perspective they definitely are.

 

[jaysoneil]

From a "building america" perspective they definitely are.

I don't disagree, but their competition isn't much to compare to.

Unfortunately.

Gerald Ford will have his day, just you wait

Evander Kane, de Angelo, Avery, Todd Bertuzzi

this is incredibly refreshing. Tom Wilson is not mentioned.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Thornton isn’t a top 100 player so definitely not him

 

[ThatsSoSlavin]

this is incredibly refreshing. Tom Wilson is not mentioned.

Don’t hold your breath

 

[Shakey Rustie]

this is incredibly refreshing. Tom Wilson is not mentioned.

Americans will never allow a Wilson on Mount Rushmore.

 

[Plante]

Ovy Jagr Crosby McDavid in no order rn

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Mario Lemieux?

He played less than 200 games this millennium.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

I’d say he counts more for the 1900s since his best years were there. Fair point though as he did still have a few pretty high end years

Lemieux this millennium:

1x top 10 hart
1x top 10 pts
0x top 10 goals
2x top 10 PPG
1x top 10 GPG

Where are the "few pretty high end years"?

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Based on what they've done in the millennium: OV, Crosby, McDavid, Malkin/Lidstrom

Based on who's the best player to play in the millennium: Lemieux, Jagr/OV/Crosby

Pretty sure op is asking for the first list though.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to argue, seems like you’re arguing just for the sake of it. If you’re saying 35 goals and 76 pts in 43 games, or 28 goals and 91 pts in 67 games aren’t high end years then I don’t know what your criteria is? Or are you arguing because I used the word few instead of couple? If that’s the case this is a bigger waste of time that I originally thought
