Nothing against Iggy, he had a terrific career, (And I’m a Flames’ fan)
But #12 should be Yvan Cournyer
Winning several Cups, a great playmaker, and assisted on Henderson’s 72 Summit Series winner.
At one point he owned the record for playoff points.

[LordBitememan]

This list is Wings-Habs-Bruins heavy.

In other words, accurate.

[johnkieran]

5 honorable for potvin. I wanna be mad but hard to argue with lidstrom

31 I think Billy smith ties grant fuhr. 19 straight playoff series wins behind Billy.

[douglasbrydges]

I don't think Steve Yzerman scored 1755 goals

[dw]

Now the greatest trio of numbers, where they wore the number regularly
The greatest would be 9
With Howe, Bobby Hull and Maurice Richard.

[troybaker]

Tomas Holmstrom 96??? Pavel Bure wore 96 and he was BY FAR a superior player.

Probably the best 96 ever. This is a massive oversight dude.

Fair to not put him at 10, but at 96 he is a lock.

[elifaulds]

5 - Lidstrom
13 - Datsyuk
14 - Shanahan
16/17 - Hull
19 - Yzerman
20 - Robitaille
24 - Chelios
39 - Hasek
91 - Federov
96 - Holmstrom
All on the 2002 Detroit Redwings coached by Scotty Bowman…. What a childhood

[JPS]

Hasek 39 and Biron 00/43 is my favorite starter/backup duo. I just wish it would have lasted a little longer.

[cynthiastines]

Honorable mention should go to Bryan Trottier, who wore #19 not only for The New York islanders, but also for The Pittsburgh Penguins. He also has 7 Stanley Cups, 4 as an Islander, 2 as a Penguin, as well as 1 as an Assistant Coach for The Colorado Avalanche. He also won The Calder 🏆 Ross🏆, Hart 🏆, Conn Smythe 🏆, and The King Clancy 🏆. He's also in THE NHL OF FAME.

[bryannewcombe]

Three heavyweights at #19, I was interested to see which one he.picked. Trottier and Sakic would have also been valid picks.

#9 is so hard. I have a Habs bias so I always choose The Rocket, but Mr. Hockey...#9 is so hard.

[pastorfergus]

Phil Esposito scored 76 goals and had 76 assists for 152 points in 1970-71. This was his career high, not 156. He had only 80 points in 1976-77.

[SteveChase-py]

This list is a joke. Neither Richard brother makes it? Henri won more Stanley Cups, 11, then any other player.

[PFB]

Frank Mahovlich for #27 over Scott Niedermeyer and Peter Mahovlich for #20 over Luc Robitaille.

[DrummerGuyCaam]

Great list overall, but #16 should be Henri Richard. Man had 11 cups, that's never gonna happen again 😂

[MrNWALife]

#6 should have been Toe Blake. Captained the Canadiens to two Cups. Phil Housley? Give me a brrak.

[gymguy]

Howe only won 4 Cups, it’s Klima, not Kilma, Matthews never won a scoring title, Yzerman doesn’t have 1755 goals, Esposito’s career high in pts is 152 and Doug Harvey is recognized by many as the 2nd best defenseman ever and he wore #2.

[WilliamTheDestroyer.]

Lemieux is the greatest player of all time, while Gretzky is the most accomplished. If 66 was healthy throughout his career he would have scored more than 3300 points.

[trevorwiazek]

Yzerman scored 1755 goals impressive. Ovie will never catch him....

[rockin]

19 should have been Bryan Trottier, 6 time Stanley Cup Champion. for years the best all around player in the NHL.

[NickelCitySaint]

I hear its way more popular in beer leagues Nice.
