Worst top-list ever, Forsberg is not even there, I mean COME ON... He dominated the game despite injuries and despite people cross-check him, hold him, slash him, trip him, in arguably the toughest era to play hockey in..

[Lorfmor]

OMFG where the hell is FORSBERG??? shit list.

[MrTehChopper]

Players from 30+ years ago are always bashed for having the nerve to have played in a different ERA. How about this ---next time you want to compare ERA's---think how a player from today would perform in 1970 Ice Skates. Shin guards. Wood sticks. No helmets. Players today are dressed like Gladiators. My grand ma could skate with today's skates. Never bash other ERA's---players play when they play. All things remain equal. It has always been very difficult to score a goal in the NHL. Always.

gretzky not number 1? your shitting me

[vigorousX]

Commentator was right that Rick Nash goal.... It Doesn't get any better then that.

[krazypenish]

@MrTehChopper orr in the shape he was in, WITHOUT modern stuff. With, you STILL can't compare anyone else with him

[krazypenish]

@Kerec Orr would see him and go the other way :P

[krazypenish]

@Kerec then why did you comment "Where's Forsberg?". This is the Top 3. Unless you know another way to get into a list without bumping someone down, you're implying that he's better than Lemieux, Orr, and Gretzky

[krazypenish]

@Lorfmor am indeed saying that Forsberg does not deserve to be in the top 3 players of all time, dipshit

[MrTehChopper]

@skyl13 In 1970 he won : 1. The Hart 2. The Norris 3. Ross 4. The Conn Smythe 5. The Stanley Cup 6. Plus / Minus Champion 7. Most goals and assists for a Defenseman 8. Canadian Athlete of the Year. 9. Sport Mag Male Athlete of the Year. 10. Sports illustrated Athlete of the Year. All in one year. No other NHL Player has won those awards over a 20 year career, let alone a single season. Does that answer your question as to the 30 second video in question ? I hope so.

[MrTehChopper]

Orr played defense. You New-Bees dont understand how much harder defense is than Center / Wing. Gretzky and Lemiuex were fabulous. No question. But the truth is, and numbers dont lie--they allowed almost as many goals 'against' their line as they scored ! Not with Orr. Not many highlight reels with 'D's stopping goals. That's why they keep a PLUS/MINUS stat. And that- Orr owns. And he will for the next 1000 years. +1 per game average. Do your home work. That Stat is untouchable.

[MrTehChopper]

Orr had another factor that can not be seen in highlight reels. He was as fresh in the 3rd period as he was in the first. Amazing stamina. You can not appreciate his speed unless you saw it up close and personal. Orr had hall of fame defense men to contend with. Montreal had several- all 6' 2-6' 4....Steven's plus/minus is a fraction of Orr's. No matter how you do the Math- Orr's plus / minus can not be ignored. But you new kids on the block keep trying. Orr plus +1 per game average.
