Description
I just saw a top all time list by someone who I’m assuming is about 20 or so based on their opinion. I’m an old guy who’s here to argue for the original six era that is other not understood or just ignored as useless to some of the younger people. My list is composed of players I mostly saw play in some capacity, whether when I was just a kid or a full grown old guy. Some of these players I saw in person and others on tv. One of them I met when I was a junior hockey player a million years ago. My point here is ignoring the old guys as throw aways is pretty darn ignorant. When I was a kid I loved to hear stories of Howie Morenz and the Leafs old kid line from the old timers. I never saw them play obviously but I didn’t think they were useless old timers like kids today seem to think.

Note: All players are in their original positions. LWs are really LWs. There’s no converting a centre to a winger to cheat. Defenceman are the best of the best and that means they aren’t evenly balanced between left handlers and righties.

Durnan was before my time but old timers absolutely loved him and couldn’t stop raving about him. You read about him and see he was the dominant goalie of the pre war era. He was ambidextrous which just blows my mind. It’s also my favourite Gordon Howe fact too.

As for Hall he is the real inventor of the Butterfly. He was so good that as an old goalie in that first post expansion season when the Blues just got the hell kicked out of them in the final, he still won the Conn Smythe as a losing goalie! Imagine facing all those great Montreal players on an expansion team and having them just tee off on you while you’re standing there with barely anything to protect you… there’s a reason goalie was a brutal job back then


Thanks, good to know.
