This past weekend here in Newfoundland we had our George street festival and I wass down with a few buds at the bar next thing ya know i look to see who is next to me and its no other then Ryan clowe, Michael Ryder,teddy percell and Vinny lecavier all siting right next to me. They bought us all a few rounds all pretty cool guys I must say to bad none are canucks and believe me I tried convincing them to come

how'd the recruiting go

Gordie Howe.

I am not sure the ability to fight is a classification for one of the best but a guy like Crosby is the most dominant player offensively, he drops the gloves when needed, is great on FO's, and does have the ability to forecheck with his speed.

Can he fight a guy like Lucic or Backes noway but on the flip side neither of these guys can stand a chance with Crosby's offensive abilities either.

Again removing fighting I would also put guys like Jonathan Toews, Patrice Bergeron, Kesler, Corey Perry, in that conversation as well

Do you know what a powerforward is willey?

Wendel Clark!
- LeftCoaster

Yes dependable Wendel was a force. To bad he only played a few yrs in the NHL, and spent the majority of his career playing for the Leafs

(that's trouble right there)

LOL Owen Nolan and Gary Roberts are your all time power forwards?
- Boinker

He forgot to add Tie Domi.

Ovechkin.

You always have to be aware where he is on the ice, because if he's not about to score, he's about to crush the puck carrier.

You could also add Clowe, Perry and Getzlaf to your list.

Now he didn't fight. But a huge man, taking a beating in front of the net and scored a pile of goals. Dave Anderchyck

You could also add Clowe, Perry and Getzlaf to your list.

DOAN

DOAN
- AdamFrench

Can Doan play left wing?

I love Scott Gomez
- AdamFrench

You could also add Clowe, Perry and Getzlaf to your list.
- QuebecPride

Getzlaf no. Being 6'4 doesn't automatically make you a power forward

In all seriousness I don't see how Kesler isn't on the poll.

Can Doan play left wing?
- Boinker

Yes

Perry fights more then half the guys on the list
- Bieksa#3

Yeah and he won the leagues MVP in 2011 as a Power Forward and he isnt even listed. Even in a down year offensively on a team that was bad offensively he had more points than Backes.

I'll take Inginla and Perry over most on that list anyday.
Lucic has never had 70+ Points ever. Something Inginla and Perry can do.

In all seriousness I don't see how Kesler isn't on the poll.
- Boinker

Can you imagine the troll-a-thon if Ian included him on the list.

In all seriousness I don't see how Kesler isn't on the poll.
- Boinker

Seems like being a winger is a requirement. Staal, Richards, Kesler, Lecalavier

Can you imagine the troll-a-thon if Ian included him on the list.
- Marwood

Yeah it would be like, "the only list he's on is for the United States synchro diving team"

Eric Cole

Toews doesnt even make the list?? the man can carry a team on his back

Bertuzzi from the WCE days

I define a power forward as someone who can put up the points, and is also able to go in the corners, hit hard, and also take pishment ot make a play.

I think owan nolan is probably the best all time power forward so I'd always compare against him. Gary Roberts a close second.

I think Ovechkin is probably the best now, although i think Jonathon Toews should get some honorable mention here.
- B-Wforever

Sea-Bass doesn't get any love?

In all seriousness I don't see how Kesler isn't on the poll.
- Boinker

I have to agree...other teams hate him cause he is a pest and he can light the lamp

Toews doesnt even make the list?? the man can carry a team on his back
- waitforawhistle

He is one of the best players in the league, but isn't a power forward. Next week Ian is going to do a list of top goalies and you will be on here whining y Toes isn't on that list.
