Er... 'some talent', but really not really very much... Couple decent players, couple plumbers with career years, ... |

Guest 9995 (the artist formerly known as "Guest 1267") - You stole my playbook! But thanks for the tip of the hat. Yes, perhaps there is a method to the madness of this insane guy!
By the way, off topic but just wondering, who did people cheer for in that '93 final? Gretzky or the Canadian team? For me it was a nightmare final, as I certainly didn't want to see the Habs win, yet again, and didn't particularly want to see Wayne win, yet again, either.

I am a Leafs fan, but I cheered for Montreal because L.A. did not deserve to be in the 93 final...Is Fraser on the Phoenix payroll this year??? Phoenix never made the playoffs this year, and Fraser did not either...
Lead, follow, or get out of the way... |

No worries, Andyhack! As to your question.... In Canada, most people were probably going for the Habs, not because of the whole Gretzky vs. Gilmore thing, but because Canadians have to cheer for the Canadian team. (The only people in Canada who thought Kerry Fraser won the series for LA were in Ontario. It never ceases to amaze me how Leaf fans completely missed that Gretzky scored 5 points in the final 2 games of that series. Always much easier to blame it all on one high stick!) |

As for your insulting comments, the only reason I, and I suspect a few others on here haven't unloaded a barrage of verbal abuse on you is because we, unlike you, respect what this site is trying to do with the rules they have put in place. Perhaps you should read them again? This is a forum intended for civil debates.
Is your nose stained dark or light brown?
What is a definitive victory, anyway?
If Ottawa beats Anaheim 4 games to 3 and every game goes into triple overtime, who gets the Cup?
Don't talk to me about who almost won, talk to me about who did win.
Don't talk to me about who could have beaten Gretzky's records if he had played here or with this guy or if he had played in 2000....I don't care. One guy holds the records, one guy wins the polls.
Who scored 92 goals in one season? Was that Messier? Lemieux? Lafleur? Orr? Did Orr get 92 goals one year? Did Orr get 215 points one year? Did Orr set the record for career points? No, he did not.
Why are we even arguing? It's ridiculous.
No andyhack, you are not insane. Probably not.

I was cheering for LA.
I live in Canada but don't base my choices on the teams being from Canada.
I like Canadian players, and they are on every team. To me, I'm cheering for Ottawa not because they are based in Canada, but because they have more Canadians on the team. I'm cheering for Anaheim for the same reason.

Well, in your example Ottawa scored 25% more than Anaheim...
The point about it being a definitive victory is this: You said no one who knows anything about hockey would pick anyone but Gretzky as the best all time. I showed you that half of the pundits who voted in that poll say otherwise. You are grasping at straws by asking what a definitive victory is.

Did Orr get 92 goals one year? Did Orr get 215 points one year? Did Orr set the record for career points? No, he did not.
Was Orr a forward with a personal bodyguard who played in the highest scoring era in the NHL  ?

What's ridiculous is the fact that you think the greatest all time is not debatable. It's understandable though, as you are not old enough to have seen Orr play. If it's so ridiculous, start a new thread and show me. I'm more than willing to show you it is completely debatable.
