Why don't you ask Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, or Mario Lemieux why they didn't play a more artistic flowing game of hockey?\n\nIMO, The north American game combines highly skilled artisitic play, with a hard edged, hard hitting action to make it the greatest game in the world.

The Roadrunner- Yvon Cournoyer\nthe Magnificant one- Mario Lemieux\nMaurice " The Rocket" Richard\n\nAlexander the Great has many players first was Alexander Mogilny its not that good.

Hockey players in general are not cute...since so many have lost their teeth or have cuts and scars.\n\nBut if I have to choose I would say the Anaheim Ducks since they beat the Pittsburgh Penguins

Gordie Howe!\nDetroit Red Wings
551076
#1-Mike Commodore. He can take on anyone and win any fight\n#2-Aaron Ward. He can be very aggressive & make hard hits\n#3-Glen Wesley-Defense. He's been playing for a long time and can be good play-maker, along with Oleg Tverdovsky\n   Rod Brind'Amour-Offence. One of the major forwards. Knows how to get his job done and never quits.

(His name is spelt DuNois)\n\nHow can you people be so absentminded?  Notice how the question doesn't say "current hockey player"?  How can you not think of Gretzky, Howe, Lemieux, Phil and Tony Esposito, Bobby and Brett Hull?  This is just a small fraction of the greatest players in the world.

Crosby, Ovechkin, and Luc Robitaille for sure. I think also Rick Nash and Ilya Kovalchuk, and maybe Dany Heatley

All three of those are good players.  But Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky have become the most famous because of their accomplishments in the sport.

Ryan Miller, because he will be the next big time goalie in the nhl
623916
One of the most skilled players in the game

Ovechkin, Heatley and Kovalchuk are all candidates. But I'd go with Ovechkin. He's the youngest and he's got the most potential.

Henrik Lundqvist?  Hes the only sweedish goalie i know
1013011
my three top current goalies:  brodeur,  roloson and vokoun\ntop future goalies:  lundqvist, ward, miller\ntop past goalies:  roy, sawchuck, and fuhr\nthere are a few great goalies like san jose's toskala, anaheim's giguiere, and calgary's kiprusoff.  i can list more but it'll take me ages to do that.  roy won the most games.  sawchuck has the most shutouts but brodeur is closing in on him fast.  fuhr was just a great goalie.

In my years of covering the sport, the nicest rink I have been to is the Dallas Stars. The ice surface itself in the summer is hard to keep good but the facility itself is great. Nashville has a nice arena too. But ice quality is a toss up between the Red Wings and Edmonton Oilers. The best players are as follows\nCenter - Eric Stall/ Joe Thornton\nRight Wing - Jaromir Jagr/ Daniel Alfredsson\nLeft Wing - Alexander Ovechkin/ Ilya Kovalchuk\nDefensemen - Rob Niedermayer/ Nick Lidstrom/ Sergei Zubov\nGoalie - this is tough Kiprusoff or Brodeur. Its hard to choose. my personal opinion is Kirprusoff. \n\nThose are the players that I believe are the best at their positions.

The Red Wings are the best. Two words sum it up Brendan Shanahan.

Currently Steve Yzerman, Joe Sakic, Mario Lemieux, Mike Modano, Trevor Linden(not consecutive) fit that category
