I also can't believe Neely didn't make the list.

Everyone complaining about Iggy and Joe, but Malkin is an equally noteworthy snub.

Ovie.

This list is a travesty.

Malkin is the 14th highest p/gp player of all time.
Iginla is the 14th highest goal scorer of all time.
Thornton is the 13th highest assist getter of all time.

I bet anything the French guy on the selection committee completely left Iggy off his ballot.

No, but he's in Oilers management, which is the same thing.

Seriously though, not to keep beating a dead horse, but can someone please explain how Toews and Kane are better than Thornton, Malkin and Iginla?

Bure never win a cup. Robataille was a depth player when he won his in 02.

Iginla, Thornton and Malkin should be on the list IMO.

Live in the US and had no idea this was a thing. Is it?

It's a stupid list.

There is a true Eastern media bias here. Missing some good players from the Pacific and Mountain time zones.

I never really understood the hatred for the current Hawks until tonight. Is there space on the bandwagon?
