Awesome.

take the 2 off the jersey and you'd be correct

my favorite hockey player ever is neely. guy was great.

total points:
wayne gretzky 2857. coming in 2nd and 3rd are messier and howe with somewhere around 1800. im not usually much of a stat guy, but damn, cant argue much there.

O'Reilly was the greatest hockey fighter of all time, but I have to agree with Ken, the greatest hockey player ever title goes to this guy

Gretzky can keep his goals, Orr changed how defensemen play the game, which leaves a much more lasting impact

Speaking of Neely, did you hear that Ulf Samuelsson's son was drafted by Pittsburgh?

yeah, he's going to Boston College this year. I hope a BU player destroys ulfy jr.'s knee.

Gretzky was an amazing talent. you could take away all of his goals and his assists alone would still make him the leading point scorer of all time.

There's definitely an argument for bobby orr. keep in mind that he played only 8 full seasons, with the rest of his career spent fighting nagging injuries. he ranks 4th all time in points per game. the next defenseman ranked is paul coffey at 25th. he revolutionized the defenseman position and was the most dominant player ever when he was at his best.

defenseman weren't really supposed to score before bobby orr came along. their job was to help the goalie and move the puck to the forwards. bobby did everything.

i used to watch hockey in the late 80's with my dad and grandfather on NESN back in the day and TV38 it was worth watching back then. i've havent watched hockey in years

you guys definitely sighted my faves

I'm a huge O'Reilly fan because he didn't take any shit, and the Bruins ARE Terry O'Reilly's legacy. Terry gave them their never quit, and fight, fight, fight attitude. It helps that Zdeno Chara is such an incredible fighter, but man, Taz just got in there and threw punches.

tv38 with derek "the jerk" sanderson and fred cusick was the best.

Ovechkin > everybody else that has ever played the game...
...kidding.

Adam Oates takes the cake.

eddie shore gave them their never quit, and fight fight fight attitude. terry o'reilly revived it.

i met oatesy and got his autograph on a bruins sweatshirt when i was a kid.

i'll trade you my car for that sweatshirt

what do you drive?

An ice cream truck

sold

what about goalies? best goalie ever = ?

best goalie i ever saw in my lifetime is patrick roy. everyone sucks brodeur's dick but roy was better. my favorite goalies ever are andy m00g and tim thomas.

and darcy wakaluk

patrick roy was awesome. m00g was good too. it's a shame tim thomas is so old, because if he entered the league in his early 20s he just might be the top 10 list.

Clint Malarchuck and Tim Horton
