Every NHL Team's Mount Rushmore! (greatest/most iconic 4 players)

One of hockey's greatest debates is the "Mount Rushmore" for each team - the greatest, most iconic, or most beloved player. In this video I name the top 4 for all 32 NHL teams - from the 3rd year Seattle Kraken, to the century-old Original 6 franchises like the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. In your opinion, what should be the Mount Rushmore for your favorite team? Comment below, and stick around for more content covering hockey history & culture!

Should have made Quebec and Colorado separately, it forced you to make a choice between Mckinnon and Peter Forsberg and I think your choice is outrageous. 🤣🤣🤣It's not fair for Michel Goulet! or to Hejduk who wanted to be the snub 5 🤣🤣🤣 Quebec: Peter Stastny, Michel Goulet, Anton Stastny, Joe Sakic Colorado: Sakic, Roy, Forsberg, Mckinnon and Hejduk snubbed

Red Wings fight night at the Joe is the most pivotal moment for Red Wings as it finally got them out of the dead things era

[@pontusbackman1863]

Getting past round 1 in the playoffs after 20 years... Yep I'm a Leaf-fan, haha. But we dont have a lot of iconic moments in modern history... Ironically we do have an iconic moment when Sundin scored-as a Canuck, in his first return to Toronto

[@Migmaw]

@@pontusbackman1863 Best chance leafs had Gretzky and the refs took from them after Gretzky drew blood with his high stick on Gilmour 🤔 I wanna say 1993 ? Leafs have goal scorers currently but not enough grit and heart, just my opinion. I trade a Mathews or Nylander to get those pieces but that's me

[@pontusbackman1863]

@@Migmaw Or Marner. Nylander as of now, no thanks. He makes some smart defensive choices too. Matthews.. you wanna avoid trading a guy with that scoring skill. Yeah, heart and grit is a problem. I use to joke we look like an All Star-team. Good with the puck,.creative too. But too lazy without the puck.

[@abe1996]

I am shocked and bemused that you don't have Forsberg as one of Colorado's big four. Truly astonishing.

[@bwalker77]

Same. I love MacKinnon but he hasn't played enough to beat Forsberg.

[@RB-ll8qc]

​@@bwalker77Not to make us all feel old, but MacKinnon has played 142 more games for the franchise than Forsberg (giving Forsberg all his Nordiques games). However, MacKinnon only has 35 more points and one less cup, so I give the edge to Forsberg still.

[@bwalker77]

It's rough when you only get 4. They didn't even mention Sittler, Mahovlich, Apps or McDonald for the Leafs. Canadiens didn't even mention Robinson, Cournoyer, Shutt, Dryden, or Geoffrion.

[@roopetuukkanen1894]

@@brianbenoit6883 when it comes to impact on winning in the franchises history, kurri is right behind gretzky. He has to be 2nd, and to not include him even in the top 4 is crazy. Mcdavid in top 4 instead of kurri? i get he is individually a better player on paper than kurri (regular season) but Kurri was the top goal scorer on 4 of 5 cup runs with the oilers aswell, his impact is FAR beyond mcdavid and will be unless mcdavid wins a couple of stanleys for edmonton.

[@jogendron6320]

Jari Kurri could have gotten atleast a mention. Otherwise great video.

[@JD-gk7eh]

Favorite moment from the Red Wings: when Steve Yzerman took the Stanley Cup and presented it to Vladimir Konstantinov first when they won in 1998. That was a moment that transcended hockey.

[@MrZachtheKingsfan]

I know Gretzky brought so much to not only LA, but hockey culture in the south. It’s arguable that the Sharks, Ducks, Coyotes, and Knights might not even exist if Gretzky didn’t explode the hockey market down here. That being said, I probably would swap him out for Luc. Gretzky was only on around for about 7 years, Luc has dedicated most of his playing career to the Kings. He was the light during some very dark periods, and as you mentioned, is still the current president of the team. So much dedication to the Kings from a legend of the game that he has to have that spot.

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Well said. Luc actually had his best year in that 92-93 season with 63 goals.

[@daniellysohirka4258]

@@TwistedWristerHockey And Gretzky didn't win anything after he left Edmonton, and Messier won 2 more.

Forsberg for Colorado Malkin for Pittsburgh,Datsyuk for Wings

[@littlesirenboy]

Malkin will never stop getting snubbed, by anyone it appears. Flower is an incredible goalie and has a lot of franchise records, but Malkin is undoubtedly one of the greatest players of his generation and one of the best Russian players to ever lace up the skates.

[@SageLakshmi]

Agreed! But there's so many penguin greats! I mean no mention of tom barasso!

[@jogendron6320]

Not a snub to me. Many great players don’t make it. Example: Malkin wouldn’t even be in the top 10 Habs.

[@ArnoldBlues]

@@jogendron6320Malkin is 40th all time in NHL points, so I think he probably would. Habs fans love to sniff their own farts about their history a ton, but they haven’t had an offensive player this talented since Lafleur.

[@jogendron6320]

You think scoring points is all? I’m not a Habs fan so you can sniff whatever you might like. With all Malkins, you lose 6-5 every time. He’s a one sided center which is bad in the puck era. Bad turnovers and faceoff stats. Rocket Beliveau Lafleur Roy Plante Dryden Robinson Harvey Gainey Cournoyer That’s 10 better overall players than Geno. Could argue for more but I said 10. 40th alltime in points of course will beat goalies, defensive forwards and dmen 🤡

[@braddivens5179]

Honestly might put Ron Francis over Malkin.

[@RoyalMela]

Jere Lehtinen, great great pick for Dallas. He was unbelievable. All he did was never being outplayed.

[@RaatoHamse]

Oilers should've had Jari Kurri & Esa Tikkanen mentioned.. :o

[@hollowmade]

It gets a bit problematic when counting players from moved franchises that have absolutely no connection to the current city. Hawerchuk has nothing to do with the Yotes, he’s a Winnipeg Jets icon - nothing else. Kovalchuk has nothing to do with the current Jets. Same goes for Hartford and Quebec. I mean, no one refers to Kansas City Scouts players when thinking of the Devils.

[@altqq1755]

It’s the same franchisw

[@BrandonGiordano]

Agreed. That's really the NHL's fault. I would say that the location and team culture takes priority. Fans rarely follow franchises. Their much more tied to their city. If the New York Rangers moved to Kentucky tomorrow I wouldn't consider that team part of NYR history

[@Statsy10]

Nobody thinks of Kansas City Scouts players because they sucked. However, if they had stayed around longer and maybe won some cups, then you would ABSOLUTELY have their players in contention for this honour.

[@CalebHarder]

Could've done Jeremy Roenick to make it all Yotes instead

[@danielmaloney946]

I think the Jets should be their own entity, and Coyotes their own entity. No need to combine in that case

[@aramondehasashi3324]

Yeah i love Mac but Peter should be on there.

[@user-kl9sp7ru3s]

All due respect to Peter Stazny, Peter Forsberg was a demon on the defensive end and a wizard on the offensive side and his accomplishments came during the Clutch and Grab era! We are unlikely to see anyone like him again.

[@joshdrumheller4920]

As a Caps fan, it's a no-brainer. That epic moment when Ovi got the Cup, made the most memorable roar I've ever heard and took that thing for a lap. Second would be him and Backstrom holding the Cup and skating with it together. That moment symbolized what they mean to DC.

[@georgekitchen7046]

Dale Hunter is the only obvious miss, and I'm ok with that. Hunter wasn't likable. Even as a Caps fan, I knew people had legitimate reasons for not liking him.

[@JeromeDukes]

Been a Leafs fan from the mid to late 70's Wendel Clark is my favorite Leaf of all time. Salming and Sundin for sure. The 4th guy imo should be Darryl Sittler.

[@dominicpancella3012]

(1/2) I thoroughly commend your effort putting this list and video together. It can't be easy whittling down historic franchises to just 4 names (or 5, in Vancouver's case). I decided I would endeavor to create a similar list, but including some eras for older/moved franchises and incorporating the histories of all teams that could have been eligible to compete for the Stanley Cup in the post-challenge era-the NHA (1909-17), which became the NHL in 1917 upon the ousting of Eddie Livingstone; the PCHA (1911-24) and WCHL/WHL (1921-26), which merged with each other in 1924 and whose victor would play against the NHA/NHL champion in the early 20th century; and the WHA (1972-79), which merged with the NHL in 1979 and employed big-name players such as Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, and Wayne Gretzky. I combined several short-lived defunct franchises into groups, but a few I felt lasted long enough to be separated out. I also limited myself to sets of 4 players that could be part of the same starting 6 if they were to all magically be transported into the same time period, so any second goalie, third defenseman, or fourth forward is replaced by a slightly lesser player from a different position group. (Some players who played both forward and defense, or were rovers in the early days when seven-person lineups were a thing, are given a benefit-of-the-doubt inclusion, so if you think "those are all forwards," you may be right but I'm considering one as a defenseman.) I did this process mostly mathematically/formulaically, trying to identify those players whose tenure with their franchise and era incorporated the best combination of longevity and value, as measured using a highly convoluted variation on the point shares metric used by hockey-reference.com. Awards and championships are not considered, but playoff games are incorporated into a player's tenure. All statistics are current as of the end of the 2023 postseason. I didn't include honorable mentions because I wouldn't have known when to stop.

[@ucumari77]

Amazing video Nick, thoroughly enjoyed it. Certainly appreciate all the time put into this. Can't image the research you did to produce it. Appreciate the snub shout out to Doug Harvey, he is much overlooked in todays hockey world. Most don't realize he was the first successful offensive defensemen in the league. Howie Morenz & Aurèle Joliet deserve a snub shout out as well. Choosing just 4 from any of the O6 teams would have been nearly impossible, great job with your choices! How about a Mt. Rushmore collectively for all the defunct teams and one for the officials/refs?

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

I'm sure a lot other Habs fans will chime in that Morenz is just as deserving of a spot on this Rushmore as the other guys. Thanks Jean! I'm at least going to consider your ideas for a members video. Kind of like what you're saying about refs, I think it'd be interesting to learn a little more about the non-players who have made great contributions to the league and the sport - like the "builders" of the hockey hall of fame.

[@matthewhobbs81]

Great video. I think as a wings fan, for me id have honorable mentioned either fedorov or red kelly before pav, but you cant go wrong with datsyuk at all. And for me, my most iconic wings moment, was when yzerman handed the cup to Vladdie in his wheelchair the year after his accident. And in that moment, I also want to give a huge shout-out to caps fans who treated vladdie and that moment as if he were one of their own, and because of that, I'll always have great respet for the caps nation.

[@JD-gk7eh]

I said the same thing about Vladdie and the cup. That's one of the rare moments that transcends the sport.

[@EchoesDaBear]

I'm a Leafs fan, but Yzerman has ALWAYS been a favourite of mine - and yes, that hand-off by him to Vladdie was pure class! Similarly when Sakic did it to Borque! I honestly get choked up thinking of both of those cause it's pure sportsmanship on display!

The guy has the best PPG in Calgary Franchise history (1.32 PPG and 0.54 GPG) 3 of his 6 Seasons at Calgary are in the top 20 best in franchise history (tied first with Fleury who has 3/11 seasons for the franchise) Most points in a single regular season in franchise history (49-82-131) Sure he didn't play as long as other players, but it is crazy that he is 7th in Calgary points league but is 31st in games played league.

[@jogendron6320]

Also one of the most skilled player in the history. There’s Wayne Mario Gordie Bobby Jaromir Sid... Kenta can also be recognize by his first name only! Legend.

[@kellismith4329]

He wasn’t too shabby on his cup run with the Oiler’s either

[@angushiltz4880]

Appreciate your hard work in putting this together. I know it's hard to only have 4 when it comes to the Original Six teams and I thought you did pretty well. For Boston though you have to have Milt Schmidt on there. Schmidt won the Cup as a player, coached and was the GM for Boston. When it comes to Milt he is "Mr Bruin"!

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Honestly Schmidt might be the most prominent figure that I underrated when making this video. I know a fair bit about the NHL after the expansion era, but there's a lot more to learn from before then :)

I’ve only been watching hockey for about 6 years, and have been a Sharks fan that entire time (plus Oilers recently). I think our most iconic moment from my experience has been Sharks vs Vegas game 7 playoffs, coming back to win the series after Pavelski got injured. Watching that still sends shivers down my spine.

Most iconic moment for the Buffalo Sabres, Brad May's "May Day" goal with Rick Jeanneret calling.

Nice to see the Selke trophy being used as a metric for greatness. Defensively great forwards like Anze Kopitar, Datsyuk, and Lehtinen are guys that keep your team making the playoffs over and over again.

As a super Rangers fan, I believe that Lemieux should have also won the ESPY Award for comeback player of the year in 1996 after his injuries over Jordan! I have to give "Super" Mario all of his props! Barring injuries, may have accumulated the greatest stats in all of hockey. (Maybe)

[@plots4]

As for iconic Flyers moments, there are a ton. Dornhoefer’s goal against the North Stars. Clarke’s OT winner in Boston Garden. The first Cup at the Spectrum. JJ Daigneault forcing game 7 against the Oilers. Primeau in the 5th overtime. Coming back after being down 0-3 in game 7 against Boston to complete the reverse sweep. But for #1, I’d have to go with the Red Army team walking off the ice after Van Impe drilled Kharlamov in the 1976 Soviet tour.

[@TwistedWristerHockey]

Those Soviet games against the US and Canada in the 70s were something else. I actually touched on the '72 Summit Series in a video on a different channel about the Best Game 7s of all time if you wanna check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn6TcoinhKqnnNE#t=10m34s

I completely agree with the Tkachuk comment, he can't be up there after a single year no matter how good he was and he was amazing. For the Lightning it's pretty insane how many active franchise history making players they have right now. Vassi, Stamkos, Hedman, Kucherov, Point, & Sergy have been current ongoing. Really hoping they can secure another, it's been something watching them this season go from one game looking like they can't be touched to the next game where they look like the lines had been completely rewritten.

[@chrisolivo6591]

As a Flyers fan, i have a different Mt Rushmore. Bobby Clarke - The greatest Flyer ever as he won 2 Cups and 3 Hart Trophies. He also took the Flyers to 3 Stanley Cup Finals as GM so I’m not sure how you could say he wasn’t a good GM? Bernie Parent- How could you have Hextall over Bernie? Bernie is the reason they won both Cups as he won the Conn Smythe both years and Vezina both years too. Eric Lindros - If he wasn’t injury plagued, he would hold all the Flyers records. He was dominant in his prime but he just wasn’t the same after he started getting concussions in 1998. Mark Howe - Probably one of the most underrated Defenseman of the 1980’s. He was the Flyers best defenseman for a decade and pretty much led the team in +/- every year. He was a league leading +85 in 1985-86 and would log 30+ minutes a game. He was runner up for the Norris Trophy multiple times because there were so many HOF defenseman from that era like Bourque, Coffey, Stevens, Robinson and Langway. Honorable mention: Claude Giroux, Bill Barber, Brian Propp, Tim Kerr, John Leclair and Pelle Lindbergh.
