Mike Bossy RIP

[slewfan]

Bossy averaged.76 goals a game.
Ovechkin.61 goals a game.

Bossy took faceoffs, played defense, a complete player. Ovie will stand around for a full two minutes on the power play while the rest of the team moves the puck and goes to the boards. One announcer stated, " I wish I had that job "...

Slew, you make a great point. I used to watch a lot of NHL hockey. Most valuable players (IMHO) are the great two-way players. Guys who have an offensive punch but also gain the puck and are in good position defensively.

I'll stick w/ just forwards for now. Some names that come to mind:
*Peter Forsberg. One of my favorites. Great skill but also liked to hit.
*Henrik Zetterburg. Good skill. But awesome on Penalty Kill with amazing endurance.
*Jere Lehtinen. Always a great +/- player.
