GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted September 21, 2012 Strange rankings. Reminded me of the greatest ever imdb film list, which has Lord of the Rings ranked above Goodfellas and Casablanca. 1 haroldsnepsts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph 240 Report post Posted September 21, 2012 Well I guess we know where the Bleacher Report stands on the Red Wings Greatest Russian debate... Yes, they decided to take the incorrect position. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted September 22, 2012 I have to wonder how much thought actually went into that list. No Chara? Bure should be higher, but it seems like he's holding shorter careers against players on that list. Hasek should probably be up a couple places too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted September 24, 2012 Hasek has more of an argument for number 1 than anyoen could make for him all the way down at 5. The top 3 should be Lidstrom, Hasek Jagr without question.. 2 Opie and haroldsnepsts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted September 24, 2012 Should be the best players not born in North America. I know it states it in the "rules" but... I see Stan Mikita as Canadian. He wasn't born here, but he moved here as an 8 year old child and knew nothing about hockey before coming to Canada. He's also played internationally on Team Canada.

Guest irishock Report post Posted September 25, 2012 Datsyuk need a few more years of greatness to pass Sergei. Lidstrom is the undisputed #1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 Valtteri Filppula? Hope you're joking. Decent player, but not even close on an all-time list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
