yes those are the 6 names I came up with- this is the just the pros and cons of a 'deep' number- for the votes where one or two guys wore the jersey for a long time the rest of the list is usually crap- here is a number where decent guys just took turns over and over
I look at this guys in different pairs
the playoff heroes (with local connections) Berezan, Ference
the 'name' centremen that arrived mid career Jokinen Cassels
the dmen Chiasson Ference
The footsoldiers Berezan Hathaway
the guys who came in 'big' trades Chiasson Jokinen
etc- in most of the pairings its hard to see an obvious winner (based on on ice play anyways)
in games played its kind of interesting- Jokinen is first, then Ference
Hathaway played more than most of the rest- surprisingly including Berezan
in the end I think my final 3 are
3. Berezan
2. Jokinen
1. Ference
I was undecided until the drive in this morning the radio guys were talking about an 04 playoff game and listed all the minutes played by the D- Ference was the most that night over 27 minutes- really I am giving this to him mostly for the 04 run, where he and Warrener became an essential 2nd pair (as nice a story as the "Doors" were there were nights they didn't play much
Ference also gains points for being on the forum, being an interesting dude outside of hockey and clearly was more important than we realized given the impact of his trade, oh and beating the Canucks
on the other hand he loses points for the Oiler thing and mostly the Stempniak affair
