Who are the second and third best hockey players of all time?

Posted on March 3, 2010 by admin

Debating over who is # 1 is pointless. That’s #99.

But who are the 2nd and 3rd best hockey players of all time?

I agree Gretzky is #1 but I don’t think he blows #2 and # 3 out of the water. The most common opinion (which I think is pretty bang-on) is:

1. Gretzky
2. Lemieux
3. Bobby Orr

    Wayne Gretzky
    Mario Lemieux
    Bobby Orr
    Gordie Howe
    Steve Yzerman
    Peter Forsberg

    I am sure that the order of these players will be debated. But they are all awesome and are the greatest of the greats.

    I don’t believe debating #1 is pointless because IMO, Bobby Orr was better than #2 Gretzky and #3 Lemieux
