He lead them? Or was it Kane, Hossa, Keith, Crawford, etc.?

Yeah but his Immeasurables/60 couldn't even be quantified for some reason.

It's a joke to leave Ovechkin off of any NHL list of the best NHL players.

This!!

Name me one other player who does as much as Ovie does. The only thing he doesn't do is fight, which this watered down fem league is trying to eliminate. He is still assigned a shadow every game! 'Nuff said!

What? He asked if Toews really led his team to a Stanley cup and I show him winning the playoffs MVP trophy?

I guess he kinda did, once?

What does posting players with the Stanley cup have to do with this?

Yeah in 2010... Get with the program. Kane also had 1 less point in the playoffs and 20 more points in the regular season. #leadership

Did Kane "lead his team to a Stanley Cup" the year he won the Conn Smythe? Or Keith the year he won it?

Or is it more likely that the Blackhawks just have an insanely deep team and are really good, collectively. Toews is a strong player and a great leader but he's not in a top-10 player in this league.

I mean personally I believe toews is a perfect player for the hawks but if he played almost anywhere else it would be unanimous around the world that he was not a top 10 player

I love Malkin but he can't stay healthy ever.

Kane is amazing, no doubt about it. Hell I'm not saying he's better than Toews.

But I think you're not giving the guy enough credit for winning 3 cups in the last 6 years taking him out of the top 10 best centers in the league.

I saw your top 10, it's good, very debatable, but mine would have Toews on it I think.

If Panarin plays with Toews instead of Kane he puts up 45 points and isn't even nominated for the Calder.

100% agree that he can't stay healthy. but that shouldn't take away from what he is doing posting above 1ppg almost every season.

But you are crediting him as a top tier individual based on team accomplishments
