Default Who's on your hockey Mount Rushmore?

With Lebron James making a huge fuss about eventually ending up on the NBA Mount Rushmore and a bunch of people naming their Mount Rushmore in several different sports but i never saw anybody name a hockey Mount Rushmore. Who would be on yours? After studying the game for a while i'd say that all time wise the NHL mount Rushmore should be: Lemieux, Gretzky, Orr and Howe. Put together your list

Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Martin Brodeur

I included Brodeur because I feel like a goalie should be included.

Definately Gretzky, Howe and Orr. Lemieux is maybe the most talented player ever but he was in Gretzky's era which makes it tougher for him. Maybe a guy like Maurice Richard should be up there and maybe even a goalie (Plante, Roy, Hasek?)

Iginla, Crosby, Lucic, Benn

Those are my 4 favourite players at the moment so right now I'd choose them if we were talking about players playing now.

All time?

Iginla, Fleury, Karyia, Sakic

I chose them because growing up they were my favourites. I know I'm probably going to be the only one with Paul Karyia but the point of this is to be personal and as a kid he was one of my favourites.

The real Mt Rushmore features three of the most famous presidents ever and a fourth who does not compare to the others but was a favourite of the designer. I will follow the same philosophy with my hockey Mt Rushmore: Howe, Orr, Gretzky and Iginla.

PS Lebron is a tool.

Almost everyone's Mount Rushmore is flawed for every sport, because they fail to recognize the roles the President's played and then choose appropriate players from whatever sport, to slot into those roles.

Mount Rushmore consists of the following.

Washington - The Greatest of All Time: in hockey, that's obviously Gretzky.

Jefferson - The Heart and Soul: Gordie Howe

Lincoln - The one who saw you through your darkest hour: The NHL's darkest hour would be the dead-puck era and I think the guy who was pretty clearly the best player in the NHL through that period would have been the Dominator, Dominik Hasek.

Roosevelt - overrated based on recent accomplishments: Alexander Ovechkin.

There's your Mount Rushmore of hockey, from left to right: Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, Alexander Ovechkin, Dominik Hasek.

Just as flawed a list as Mount Rushmore itself.

Orr, Gretzky, Plante, Bowman

Orr = best defenceman, redefined position, records that will never be broken
Gretzky = best forward, forced rule changes, records that will never be broken
Plante = great past goaltender, redefined equipment/goaltender play. Won most Vezina trophies
Bowman = best coach.

Guys like Howe, Lemeiux, Richard, Roy close
