[@crossface222]

Yzerman isn’t a lazy pick at all. He was awesome! And a great leader.

[@klompsauce]

THE CAPTAIN LGRW 🐙🐙🐙🐙

[@Aebischer1984]

Best captain of all time!

[@mgcgrozit]

Tough to NOT say Lidstrom though. Lidstrom was a rock star in Detroit. I had went and seen the Red Hot Chili Peppers play a show at JLA the year he retired. They played in July or so? The applause for them was loud... but when they brought out Lidstrom as a surprise, it was the LOUDEST I've ever heard the JLA, with the exception of the Darren McCarty goal when the Wings swept the Flyers in 1997.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

I agree, Stevie wonder is not a lazy pick, he's an obvious pick. Blindingly obvious.

[@dustyb58]

If I was not allowed Yzerman, mine would be Tomas Holmstrom.

[@jackyfudge5115]

As a more recent fan (due to age), I really respect the appreciation for the older players and its cool to see who you mention and look them up if you don't know them. Especially considering that I don't have a good memory of hockey

[@michaelhall7782]

What a Thursday night drop

[@xcanuck4]

Jean Beliveau was absolutely my favorite MTL player of all time. Class, Class, Class

[@sdgakatbk]

He's on my all time team, donning the C but not on the first line. Probably on the third line. For the Canadiens, my choice is the Road Runner, Yvan Cournoyer.

[@scottmcgreevy4857]

Slava! Fedorov lite. Great wing.

[@tygrkhat4087]

@@sdgakatbk Cournoyer was a great one, but my favorite Canadien of that era was Henri Richard, the Pocket Rocket.

[@sdgakatbk]

@@tygrkhat4087 I like the Pocket Rocket too. With hindsight, I kind of wish that he had been able to somehow hang around for the 75-76' Habs and win one more cup, linking the dynasties from the late 50s and late 70s. I'm guessing he didn't have much left in the tank at that point.

[@mastertonef]

My favourite player of all time that I have watched play is Borje Salming. Plus, I agree with a lot of your picks including Guy Lafleur, Marcel Dionne, Mike Bossy, Ron Francis, Dale Hawerchuk, Steve Yzerman, Peter Stastny, Dominik Hasek, Mike Modano, Joe Sakic, Paul Kariya and Scott Niedermayer. Meanwhile, the players you picked from smaller market or western based teams I didn't and or don't follow too much like Pat Verbeek, Roman Josi and Jacob Slavin. Finally for now, I acknowledge you Shannon for the way you deliver your message. It is calm and straight forward yet passionate and humourous, too.

[@tomahboy7]

My favourite player growing up was Wendel Clark the guys was heart and soul great shot bone crunching hits.

[@malakaspawt3190]

I think Wendel Clark would have scored multiple 90+pts per season, if he had not suffered that terrible injury in his third season. He had a better rookie and sophomore season numbers than Leclair and Neely, so I think he was supposed to have a higher ceiling. Neely also had a high ceiling, though he managed to get into his prime before it was cut short during his 9th season (1991-92). He returned in his 10th season and participated in the post-season, then scored 50goals in 49gp in his 11th season. Neely's numbers dropped in his 2 last seasons, so he retired. He played 13 in total, like Clark. Considering the Bruins got Oates in 1991-92, Neely easily would have scored 50 goals in each and likely 100+pts in 1992-93. Leclair was the healthiest of the three, and played 16 seasons, including his 10gp rookie season with 3gp in the post-season. Leclair's prime lasted the longest, about 4-5 years, but it took a hit when Lindros was no longer around. This kind of proves the point that Clark and Neely had more offensive potential, then again does it? Leclair should get some credit because his prime was right in the middle of the dead puck era. You don't score 50 goals in 3 straight seasons simply because you're paired with Lindros, you've got to have chemistry. Would have Selanne or Kariya score 105pts each if they hadn't been playing together? Anyway, I regress. Clark and Neely had more clutch potential. We see this simply by looking at their stats in the playoffs. Leclair played a lot more games as he missed the playoffs only in 3 seasons, whereas Clark missed them 9x, and Neely 4x. Neely had the best prime technically, then Leclair, but Neely was more unfortunate with his health. Clark was even more unfortunate, but he managed to play a long career. He could never play the same, but then again, he never stopped playing tough. All three are legends.

[@disneyjohn8536]

Selanne is my all time favorite Anaheim Ducks Player

[@SabresGuy87]

They didn't call him the Dominator for no reason! The best of the best!

[@klompsauce]

Boy did he look great in the Winged Wheel

[@romangagne5842]

Always wished Hasek's time in Ottawa wasn't for a season. Had a great one season, sadly cut by injury

[@wild_insomnia]

also he's roasting freaking russians ! Way to go,Dominik !

[@JBTriple8]

Patrick Roy was better

[@KalleLagerlof]

​@@JBTriple8No

[@LarryWeinreb]

I will always remember the smile on Lanny McDonald's face after he buried the puck behind Roy in Game 6 of the 89 Cup Final. He gets my vote for my favorite Flame.

[@FischerFan]

As a Habs fan, I will confess that seeing Lanny go out a Cup champion like that made the Habs' loss a little less painful.

[@gocanuckurself1]

I feel like Ron Francis gets overlooked by fans when talking about all-time greats. Including me. I’ve been guilty of that. Guy is a legend.

[@Rockin_Ross]

As a long time Philly guy, my old school player is Ron Hextall. Loved him in the net. Current would have to be Travis Konecny. I’ve just really liked his playing style and what he brings to our team. Great video, Sir! Great names up there!😎

[@josephbrancato1883]

I just fast forward the video to make sure that Yzerman was written on that board. Bravo sir! Great video as usual. Love Stevie Y. My favorite player of all time.

[@run2fire]

Ron Francis was a steal for the Penguins.

[@dougsundseth6904]

As an Avalanche fan, I love Joe Sakic, both as a player and as a GM. But my favorite player is probably Adam Foote. He was the prototypical defensive defenseman and on a team of all stars, he held that defense together for years.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

I have to agree in a way, he's at least an honourable mention. As a coach, he's worked wonders for the Canucks defensemen, even managing to salvage the infamous Tyler Myers.

[@badmike11]

You should do the same type of list but name the player you hated on each team lol.

[@DennieWilliamson]

dont think a guy like shannon would make that he has too much class Would be interesting though.

[@russw8813]

I’d be fine with a list of “the most hated player” for each franchise and what Shannon’s personal take on them is. It’s always funny when there’s a player who’s beloved in their market and loathed every where else (e.g., Marchand).

[@themarser]

​@@russw8813This would be such a great video, I hope it happens at some point down the road

[@norz72]

Corey Perry would be on like 6 different teams lol

[@badmike11]

@@DennieWilliamson I would agree with that, but it could just be for petty reasons. X player scored 2 OT goals against my team in the playoffs and hated him ever since, or X player elbowed Cliff Ronning and should have been thrown out of the league.

[@carparthero]

@The Hockey Guy i loved the ranford pick for EDM!! he was amazing back in 1990. imo 1990 was the most meaningful oilers cup win because they did it without gretzky.

[@matthews7144]

I remember being a kid hanging around the back of the Pacific Coliseum. Running put down his stuff and made sure all the kids, me included, had an autograph before heading in. Class act.

[@slakcheetah4989]

Hasek is the guy who got me into hockey as a kid who grew up in a very non-hockey friendly environment! I didn’t really know much about the game or different positions except that the goalie stops the puck, and none were more exciting than the Dominator!

[@markmiller5606]

Not my favorite Avalanche player, but when Ray Bourque Hoisted the Cup!!! I teared up. It was Awesome to see!

[@OldRustySteele]

Gary Thorne’s call on ESPN when Sakic gives The Cup to Bourque is one of the epic, iconic calls in hockey!

[@thesacreda9033]

I grew up watching Paul Kariya at UMaine and had a huge poster of him on my wall. It's the reason Anaheim is still my favorite team to this day despite living in New England all my life.

[@l.a.w.5738]

My all time fav as well, although being from overseas (Austria) and a life long Devils fan.

[@martinroncetti4134]

I have no idea why Steve Larmer is NOT in the HHoF!? '83 Calder Cup winner, played just over 1000 (regular season) games and just over 1000 (again, regular season) points. 1 x Lord Stanley ('94-NYR), 1 x Canada Cup & 1 x silver in the World Championships (both in '91)

[@PFB1994]

One of the best two-way players of his era.

[@RRaquello]

I thin k he made himself unpopular with his union activities so he's been black balled.

[@SamiEinz]

Blame the deceased owner who was on the Hall of Fame committee. His family still owns the Blackhawks

[@alanharney5278]

Marcel Dionne was a magician on skates. He did things nobody else could do, like make pinpoint 90 degrees turns at high speed and leave defenders in the dust. And then score. I actually met him once. He had the biggest forearms I've ever seen. It's a crime his name isn't on the Cup. Thanks for the video.

[@tygrkhat4087]

Fun fact: Although he never played for the Sabres, Dionne was member of the Sabres alumni team for a time.

[@alanharney5278]

I did not know that! How did that happen??

[@tygrkhat4087]

@@alanharney5278 After he retired, Dionne came to live in the Buffalo area and was invited to join the team.

I agree! It’s a shame Marcel never got to win The Cup. Heart & soul guy who I thought was Mister LA King. (And I’m not even a Kings fan).

[@chrisod22]

It should be noted that Cam Neely had two 50 goal seasons with Craig Janney and one with Oates. He also scored 50 goals in 44 games in 93-94.

[@sdgakatbk]

Neely is definitely a favorite Bruin, but I have to go with Orr.

[@arnoldstevenson4427]

From Chicago here. Orr always. Kill us. He always had the puck.. Newly was good. But Orr the best ever..

[@phillipweber6059]

He was also Seabass in the movie "Dumb and Dumber". That scores a lot of points with fans too.

[@sdgakatbk]

@@phillipweber6059 🤣

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Still pisses me off that Ulf Samuelsson not only was allowed to keep on playing, but got to be a part of 2 Stanley Cup winning Penguins teams. Only guy I can think of less deserving of a Cup is Brad Marchand.

[@LastLetterisZed702]

Scott Niedermayer was my 2nd favourite New Jersey Devils player. His goals along with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks stats scored between 10-15 goals a total of 11 times. Excellent for a defenseman. He was also a key player for the 1994/95 New Jersey Devils and their 1st Stanley Cup.

[@edgeofEurasia]

Thumbs up for the honourable mention of Felix Potvin as your favourite player for the Leafs. He was a big reason I cheered for the Leafs in the 1990s.

[@JaysonBryant]

As a Hawks fan, you've hit the nail on the head with Larmer. Very underrated scorer and team leader. His scoring in Canada Cup '91 with Gretzky was incredible. Although, his bubble gum had more personality than his grumpy self.

[@OldRustySteele]

Native St. Louisan and Blues fan since 1968 here. Since I go back to their very first year, my favorite will always be Bob Plager. Not just as a player, but as the one Constant, the Ambassador, the Alumni Leader of the franchise until he died just 2 years ago. When we finally won The Cup in 2019, I thought I’d cry. I was 65 years old. Well, I didn’t at first, as I was overjoyed - until they gave The Cup to Bobby. Then the tears cascaded down….. …and once again when he died a couple years ago. Bob Plager: “Number 5 on our scorecards, Number 1 in our hearts.”

[@FischerFan]

Mine will always be Bernie Federko.

[@OldRustySteele]

@@FischerFan Hi FF. Now that Bobby is gone, Bernie Blue Note is certainly a worthy heir to hold the Blues torch high and be our ambassador. A fine choice and another True Blue!!! 💙

[@Matthew-FG6]

Great to see Hawerchuk on the list. But I know him as one of my favorite Sabres.

[@RRaquello]

The only one that matches mine is Hawerchuk, one of my all-time favorite players. Most of my favorites would be from the 70s because I'm old. Harold Snepsts for the Canucks, Dennis Hextall for the North Stars, and violating the no two team rule, Joe Mullen for St. Louis, Calgary & Pittsburgh.

[@FH99]

Scott Young was a very overlooked player on some really good Blues teams in the late 90's-early 2000's. He put up good numbers while guys like Turgeon, Demitra, Keith Tkachuk, Pronger and McInnis got a lot of the headlines.

[@rich4798]

Stevie Yzerman has to be one of the greatest of all time. He also built the tampa teams that won stanley cups.

[@jzoeteman7424]

Great idea for a video. Brought me back in time to some great hockey memories

[@garyf8697]

Love the list! I was also a big Kelly Miller fan in the 80's,one of the best two-way players to ever play for the Capitals.

[@chrisdee7511]

the only way I can explain Haseks saves is that if he whiffed on a deeke, he knew where the shooter was going and got as much of his body into that place as he could. i know a lot of people hated him flopping around the crease like a fish out of water, but he did his job at the end of the day. One of the greatest of all time.

[@matthewsmith2237]

Respect the hell out of the cliff ronning pick but it’ll always be linden for me. I was born in 2001 and barely saw the end of his career but he’s always stuck with me. Getting older and I just looked into his stuff more and more and I truly believe there’s never been a better Canuck than him. There’s more talented players that have been on the team but he is the guy I think of when I think of the team to this day.

[@evileyeball]

I got to meet Cliff Ronning once after a game in the Alumni suite. I was shocked and awestruck. I stuck out my hand, offered it to him and called him Mr Ronning. Was a heck of a birthday night

[@jerryslist]

Another amazing thing about Hasek...he was drafted in the 10th round with the 199th pick by the Blackhawks in 1983. And he was traded to the Sabres for pittance...G Stefan Beauregard and futures.. His ascension to all-time great status was even more amazing because, despite having a great European career, he came from literally nowhere. Sometimes, all a feller needs is a chance!

[@moongate31]

Also interesting that Hasek wound up facing his old Blackhawks' goaltending partner Ed Belfour (then with Dallas) in the '99 Cup Finals.

[@markmcneilly6209]

As an older hockey guy, Buffalo has to be Gilbert Perrealt. Fav quote was he was the only player coaches were afraid of even if it was 1 on 5.

[@tygrkhat4087]

Mikita went from a scrappy fighter to a multiple Lady Byng winner. And Horton's death was devastating to all hockey fans, especially those in Toronto and Buffalo.

Before the Sabres entered the league, my favorite team was the Blackhawks. My favorite player on that team was Stan Mikita, for a couple of reasons. While Bobby Hull got all the attention, Mikita was a steady player who basically just went out on the ice and did his job...and did it very well. Also my dad's name was Stanley, so... Tim Horton was that same type of player; the strong, silent type who did his job well without a lot of fanfare. I too was devastated the morning that Tim died. A terrible moment for all of hockey.

What you said about Yzerman was beautiful and accurate, thank you.

Jaden Schwartz used to play for my local USHL team! :)

I like this a lot, i don't agree with many picks. But that's whats make some one your personal fav, its personal.

My brother has an old Hartford Whalers away (green) jersey signed by Ron Francis. I was pretty jealous when he got it. I have a vivid memory of Cliff Ronning from back in '93-'94; my dad and I were driving home (grew up in Burnaby) and we were listening to the Canucks game on the radio, and as the game was happening, we both suddenly heard Cliffy yell "FUUUUCK" at the top of his lungs. I can't remember what happened, but it was funny as hell.

Scott Young could put the biscuit in the basket! Not obscure when i grew up here though.

[@alyssinwilliams4570]

Lotta great picks. I'll have to do mine and share it, if you're curious Mr THG

[@HockeyFan102]

Shannon loving kings jerseys at this point he should just be a kings fan secretly lol.

[@humphreygruntwhistle3946]

As an old North Stars fan, I thought you made a nice pick with Craig Hartsburg. Intelligent, dependable D man on both ends of the ice.

[@stevesmart170]

Chicago fans looove Larmer, I'm guessing your stock went up with most of us for that pick. Anytime Hasek's name is mentioned I think of the Mastercard commercial that asked if he had a slinky for a spine? That might explain his "style!" Hahah. Fun board.

What a fun list! I started watching in 1991 when the Sharks joined the league, so I remember a lot of these guys. My all-time favorite Shark is still Owen Nolan, and some of my other all-time favorite non-Sharks from around the league include Scott Stevens, Martin St. Louis, David Krejci, Anze Kopitar (much as I hate to admit it), Mariusz Czerkawski (Polish pride!), and Geoff Sanderson. Kelly Miller was a great pull, though! Always really liked him too. Sharks tried to sign Kelly as an RFA in ‘93 but the Capitals matched.

Geoff Sanderson omg 💪💪💪

I completely agree with you about Schmaltz, one of my favorite Coyotes.

[@monicaarisman4293]

My all-time favourite player is and always will be Paul Coffey.

[@DiO-fy5ex]

As a Lightning fan since they were founded, I thought THG would pick Martin St Louis. My pick is Kucherov. I wish his personality wasn’t holding him back and he’d give 💯 defensive effort more often

[@hockeyteeth]

Sabres fan here. The story of Mogilny defecting from Russia is on KZbin. A great watch! Called Defector. I like your pick for Hasek. I was spoiled to watch him at the Aud and HSBC Arena live growing up. Honorable mentions for Buffalo would be Gilbert Perreault, Mogilny and Housley.
