McCreary would be banned from the NHL for life for almost giving the best player to ever play a concussion if he did that in todays game

Really? What did Steckle receive? Hedman? Oh? Crosby didnt have to play against Scott Stevens either.

I wasn't being sincere.
I saw Orr play in person when he was in his prime, but I was too young to appreciate it. I have only seen Howe on tape, and in his 50s. So those two are difficult to place.

I know you weren't
I never seen them live. I think that is pretty cool that you go to see Orr play as a kid. That is the kind of thing that inspires you into being a hockey fan for life.

Another one of my favourite myths.

You really think Ballard would drum a guy out of the league for hitting Gretzky?

Or could it maybe have something to do with the fact that McCreary wasn't very good?

I was inspired to a huge hockey fan by something greater....

To transition a little bit..what do you guys think of the who's better voting on tsn?
- celata29

Dumb since only Crosby should win it. Giroux/Stammer are the only other options and they aren't there.

I saw Howe live.

With the Hartford Whalers.

So yeah, it counts, but not really.

I agree...but the matchups before the finals are interesting...like Seguin Hall...Letang Karlson...the beginning rounds are interesting.

Roy is a wife beater and a piece of poop of a human.

but he sure was one of the best goalies.

Fixed.

I don't consider goaltenders in the same category, Apples and Oranges. But if I had to I would have put him there.

Not Richard.

I've been over this too many times.

Add Hainsworth. No other player forced rule changes as great as he did.
