55fan 5,133 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 He seriously grew an inch?? Now I hope he just puts on about 15 pounds of muscle. 6'5" 220+ and mobile makes for a pretty scary defenseman. Actually, it depends on where you look. The places that have him listed at 6'5" may have padded his height. It's been known to happen. Or the 6'4" ones may be older, in which case, he has grown an inch. Or it could be the rounding factor when converting from inches to Kelvin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrisnick 1 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 While I anticipated you coming along to correct someone's post (what else do you do here?), I honestly didn't expect you to say something as dumb as THAT. The highest scoring LW in history can't crack the top 10. Riding shotgun with Wayne during your prime and subsequently putting up gaudy numbers doesn't automatically vault you to the top. Bobby Hull and Ted Lindsay are fairly unanimously hailed as the top 2 LWers ever. You've got guys like Frank Mahovlich, Dickie Moore, Bucyk in the O6 era that relatively were better players than Luc. Then you've got guys in the pre WW2 era (Joliat, Denneny, Toe Blake) that historians swear by. Contemporaries, I consider Shanahan a better LW than Luc. Guys like Goulet and Propp were every bit as good, just didn't play into their deep 30s to put up high career totals. People may scoff, but Luc was never better than Ovechkin is now. Arguably the same could be said of Kovalchuk/Heatley who already have higher relative goal/point finishes than Luc who never finished higher than 4th in goals or higher than 5th in points in any season. So yeah, maybe sneak him in towards the bottom of the top 10, but not close to being #1. EDIT - Ron Francis is the #3 Center in points. I'd love to see someone attempt to put him in the top 10 of all centers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
