kliq 3,763 Report post Posted March 15, 2020 It's too bad that Bure never got a chance to have a long and healthy career. Purely based on the eyeball test, best goal scorer ever IMO. I still remember this goal when it happened, just amazing. Unfortunately, I can't rank him above Lemieux, Gretzky or Ovie as at the end of the day the stats need to back it up.

Yeah if u wanna talk eye candy Bure is definately up there with the Lemieuxs and Datsyuks of the world. Naturally it would be crazy interesting to see that guys career on a different timeline with different teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always among the elite while playing, but at the end of the day, his numbers wouldn't have been Gretzky, Howe, Messier level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dats gets the D edge fersure. If Bure had been on better teams i think he couldve been a hockey idol. Datsyuk was on good teams and is just a really great player it seems.

blgillett 48 Report post Posted March 31, 2020 There isn’t any question about this Gretzky has all the numbers to prove that he’s the best scoring player to ever hit the ice. With that said Gordie is the best hockey player to Lease up the skates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott R Lucidi 675 Report post Posted March 24, 2024 Ovi is on a heater. 30 goals within reach. All he needs is to average 30 for 5 more years, and then he hits 1,000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
