    I actually saw Howe play at the Joe Louis Arena in 1980 (I was 15) when he played his last year for Hartford. That's the definition of a true hockey player. Could do it all. Great scorer, great passer and if you needed an enforcer there were not many better.

    No doubt, you could make a case that he was the greatest of all time, playing in the Original Six era where only the best players were on the ice, versus the post-expansion era that watered the competition down with 30 teams.

    The Gordie Howe Hat Trick = a goal, an assist, and a fight, lol. I saw him in the mid-90s playing for a minor league team, the Detroit Vipers; he was basically just on roster so he could play in his 6th decade as a pro hockey player, but he did get some minutes, and the crowd was going wild whenever he took the ice.

    Yep, Chicago has a good team for sure. They've won 6 now. Just 5 more and they'll catch Detroit. GO WINGS. LOL.

    Yes @henshemi ! Coaches challenges are so annoying. "How can we increase goal scoring?" Challenge every goal for phantom interference!

    Gotta love Scotty Stevens and Rob Niedermayer....top defence duo next to Lidstrom and Chelios.

    @Newarski22

    Agreed. These changes are crazy. Each new season I feel like I need to catch up on what's the new issue / change / alteration

    As for a pure goal scorer there was no one better then Mike Bossy. He only played 10 seasons cuz of a bad back and had a per season avg of 57.9 goals a year. No one has ever come close. Even #99 only avg'd 44.5 a season. That's incredible and will probably never be duplicated.

    He's out of my era lol. Being only 2 when he retired....different game then as well. Goalies pads were soccer shin pads and Friday the 13th masks lol. But a great scorer indeed!!! :):)

    Goaltenders were a different breed back in the day, especially before they started using hockey masks! Just take a look at Detroit great Terry Sawchuk:

    Hawks are a good team, no doubt. You have some strong talented players. But the Kings will get their cup back again this year! ;)

    Funny I haven't seen any Cindy Crosby fans on here yet. I hear he's going to be the Captain of the Canadian Olympic women's hockey team. I'm sure it's just a rumor though.

    Biggest whiner in the NHL lol. I like Phil Kessel much more. Wish Toronto didn't drive him away like they do most.

    I used to like Crosby, he's useless now! Can't stand Kessel! Malkin and Letang know what's up!

    Someone's getting traded when they don't make the playoffs. Pens should be lightening up!
