Default Your three all-time favourite players? (1st summary on 1st page)
Your top-three all time. Only caveats are:

- You have to have actually seen them play; no defaulting to Gretzky/Lemieux/Orr if you never actually watched them in their primes.
- No goalies. This is just about players.
- They have to be ranked 1, 2 and 3. Even if 2 and 3 are tied, figure out a reason to rank one higher than the other.

I'd like to do summaries along the way, so ranking them is important.

...annnnnnnd go.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the first summary, as of post #87:



Points were awarded as follows:
1st - 3pts
2nd - 2pts
3rd - 1pt

Ties are ordered by number of 1st-place votes.

My #2 and #3 can change sometimes with one or two other players, but #1 is always the same.

1. Joe Nieuwendyk
2. Joe Mullen
3. Joe Iginla... oops, forgot the ar&m.... Jarome Iginla.

Tony is a goalie, so Jarome 2, Tim Hunter 3.

Yzerman

Bure

In that order. Having strong player affiliations basically stopped when I started cheering for the flames. Too hard with guys getting traded or signing elsewhere all the time.

So we have to live with it when a CalgaryPuck poster marginalizes goalies but we have to fight when Trump marginalizes... well, everybody?
