    This list is Wings-Habs-Bruins heavy. In other words, accurate.
  • @dw7704
    Nothing against Iggy, he had a terrific career, (And I’m a Flames’ fan) But #12 should be Yvan Cournyer Winning several Cups, a great playmaker, and assisted on Henderson’s 72 Summit Series winner. At one point he owned the record for playoff points.
  • @johnkieran7936
    5 honorable for potvin. I wanna be mad but hard to argue with lidstrom 31 I think Billy smith ties grant fuhr. 19 straight playoff series wins behind Billy.

    5 - Lidstrom 13 - Datsyuk 14 - Shanahan 16/17 - Hull 19 - Yzerman 20 - Robitaille 24 - Chelios 39 - Hasek 91 - Federov 96 - Holmstrom All on the 2002 Detroit Redwings coached by Scotty Bowman…. What a childhood
  • @troybaker7152
    Tomas Holmstrom 96??? Pavel Bure wore 96 and he was BY FAR a superior player. Probably the best 96 ever. This is a massive oversight dude. Fair to not put him at 10, but at 96 he is a lock.
  • @dw7704
    Now the greatest trio of numbers, where they wore the number regularly The greatest would be 9 With Howe, Bobby Hull and Maurice Richard.
  • Honorable mention should go to Bryan Trottier, who wore #19 not only for The New York islanders, but also for The Pittsburgh Penguins. He also has 7 Stanley Cups, 4 as an Islander, 2 as a Penguin, as well as 1 as an Assistant Coach for The Colorado Avalanche. He also won The Calder 🏆 Ross🏆, Hart 🏆, Conn Smythe 🏆, and The King Clancy 🏆. He's also in THE NHL OF FAME.
  • @JPS47
    Hasek 39 and Biron 00/43 is my favorite starter/backup duo. I just wish it would have lasted a little longer.

    #21 Peter "The Great" Foooooorsbeeeeeerg!!!! ❤
  • @pastorfergus
    Phil Esposito scored 76 goals and had 76 assists for 152 points in 1970-71. This was his career high, not 156. He had only 80 points in 1976-77.
  • @bryannewcombe858
    Three heavyweights at #19, I was interested to see which one he.picked. Trottier and Sakic would have also been valid picks. #9 is so hard. I have a Habs bias so I always choose The Rocket, but Mr. Hockey...#9 is so hard.
  • @adamdesanti6713
    Great blast from the past! Damn, 9 and 19 I'd imagine are an embarrassment of riches. After 44 it really gets hit or miss.
  • @trevorwiazek5594
    Yzerman scored 1755 goals impressive. Ovie will never catch him....
  • @Rybr2
    18:46 Interesting fact. Alex Burmistrov said some years ago he always liked 69 number, but it's always had dirty jokes (sexual context) on both sides of Atlantic ocean (KHL and NHL) :) Anyway he played under 69 in Ak Bars (proof - www.youtube.com/shorts/f0XhBnyliso) and now playing for Spartak Moscow under 96 number (rearranging the numbers of 69).
  • @PFB1994
    Frank Mahovlich for #27 over Scott Niedermeyer and Peter Mahovlich for #20 over Luc Robitaille.
  • @starbright451
    19 Marcus Näslund, 21 Börje Salming, Peter Forsberg
  • @CGAWFA
    2 should be Eddie Shore
  • @Z0RDR4CK
    Although as a Red Wings fan I don't like the Bruins and the AV's, I do respect milestone careers of their players and I still can remember Ray Bourque lifting the Cup in his very last game. For me it still is one of the most touching moments I've witnessed in hockey.
