Goals! Goals! Goals! Toughness

  1. 1. Best 50 Goal Scorer to Never Score 60

    • Marcel Dionne - end of list. Got 59 one year stop the presses.
      13
    • Brendan Shanahan - yes, he piled in the rubber but he could also punch your face in doing it.
      10
    • Mark Messier - let's forget the Vancouver Canuck years and he is my vote. What not to like, tough, goal scorer, guaranteed wins.
      3
    • Bobby Hull - a pure goal scorer, 610 goals while taking time to play in the WHA ... oh what could have been. Smooth skater and played with an edge
      19
    • None of the above, see my comment below.
      2

  2. 2. Who would you add if you could reach back into the past for their prime years to add the toughness needed to survive to win 16 post season games? But out goes one of Petery, Miller, Lindholm or Boeser.

    • Donald Brashear - hey, he developed silky hands for a tough guy
      8
    • Bob Probert - nothing more needs to be said
      11
    • Rick Tocchet - hell he would lace them up right now
      25
    • Tic Toc is a bit of a cheat so can't chose that one otherwise there are way too many players to choose from. See my comment below with my vote of a tough guy that could also score a few timely goals.

My Dad had me try Pilsner, and I wasn't impressed. Something about O'Keefe's just was smooth and strong. I blame my Step Brother for giving me a bottle as a 12 year old.

We drank anything back then.  Even what we called sh mixes....we'd just take a little sample of everything from the parent's bar and mix it all together. Oh boy, to be young.

 

My parents had a super nice/proper bar...even had those big wooden swing racks to pour from. Neon lights...my rec room was the go to. Wurlitzer juke box...fun times. Shuffleboard/darts.

That 2nd line is gross, I feel sorry for Miller.

 

If he can keep up - Bains is no slouch in the speed department, and ofc Lafferty is Lafferty

My Dad had a pool table. I still sucked at it.

That is something that absolutely should be made public, these monsters walk amongst us.

 

Easily enough done but then might limit future participation in polls ... for the record, I picked Brendan Shanahan ... man that guy was absolute money in the playoffs.

 

A good friend of his regaled me with a story during one of the Detroit cup runs. Shanahan was take out by a huge hit that bruised his "tail bone" (among other parts of the body) and couldn't barely stand never mind skate. Off to the dressing room he goes, gears down the lower half and in walks the doctor with cortisone / freezing shots and rams a needle just below his family jewels to get him back in the game. Apparently the bench heard him bellowing away all the way from the dressings before he was back in the game 15 minutes later.
