I have been having a discussion with some friends on fb as to the top 5 players in history.
We all pretty much agree on the top 4..
99, 66, 4, 9
Wildy different choices for the 5th spot.
So far...Bpurque, Messier (me), Lidstrom, Jagr and Richard
Thoughts?

What? No. He's not even the best player of his generation. Crosby is. How about Bobby Hull? I like Brad Park. Doug Harvey is the old school answer. |

I'd say one of Hall, Plante, Hasek or Brodeur. But I'll be damned if I can even figure out which of them is the best all time.

Yeah, a top five should have a goalie. But not Brodeur, no way.
Hasek won two Hart trophies, so he's a good candidate. Plante is another. I never liked Hasek, so I say Plante.

Wait, if Marleau surpasses Howe in games played, does that then make Howe less deserving of a top 5 spot?

Fuck Lidstrom. So overrated.
I rank all of those you mentioned ahead of him as well.

Lidsrom over Bourque, the guy playing in front of Osgood carried the heaviest load. |

Although, Lidstrom played his entire career on an all star team in Detroit...Bourque was the only star in Boston. Neely was awesome but didn't play nearly enough. |

They had Adam Oates. Who made rookie Joe Juneau into a sensation.
