**alexy** · 02-20-11, 05:36 PM

Modano by far

**alexy** · 02-20-11, 05:38 PM

Modano, by far. No question

**Mini19** · 02-20-11, 05:42 PM

I think it's modano.. But it's such a shame how far downhill he's going

**OTL** · 02-20-11, 05:50 PM

Modano.

**nyplayer33** · 02-20-11, 06:00 PM

**Emily_Haines** · 02-20-11, 06:30 PM

Mike Bossy

Definitely between Joey Mullen and Mikey Modano.

There really isn't anyone else.

**bigsmitty** · 02-21-11, 01:37 AM

Bossy is a good shout out.

**skm39** · 02-21-11, 01:42 AM

Leetch. Modano was barely top 5 in his position in his prime while Leetch was a 2-time Norris winner.

**GopherPuck** · 02-21-11, 01:51 AM

Housley

**Moneyclip** · 02-21-11, 01:59 AM

Leetch. The first hockey player I liked when I started to follow hockey.

tough mustache, once celebrated 2 goals in 1 game by banging entire ice crew

**bracerman** · 02-21-11, 02:53 AM

Surprised Bossy not getting more mention here.

Current fav American: Ryan Kesler

**paco** · 02-21-11, 03:27 AM

Tyrone Leroy Jackson.

**cala56** · 02-21-11, 06:13 AM

Modanoooo

**gti175** · 02-21-11, 07:28 AM

Modano for sure, leetch best d man. Eventhough I'm Canadian I loved how these guys played.

**cankid** · 02-21-11, 07:44 AM

Kesler is one of my fav now.......Modano for me

**Wiggums5** · 02-21-11, 08:23 AM

I would say Modano...current would be Tim Thomas

**KACK** · 02-21-11, 08:35 AM

modano

**adlai** · 02-21-11, 08:45 AM

gator (pat kane). has partying problems and is still better than any other skater on the ice.

Brett, unlike all his siblings who were born in Chicago, was born in Belleville, Ontario.

Brett Hull

Brett Hull is a Canadian who turned his back on his country because he got cut from Canada's national Jr team (World Jr's) when he was 15/16. Said he will never play for any Team Canada team again. Guy could shoot.

Dude, it's not like he's 28 years old. Modano had an awesome career, but he will retire at the end of the year.

Awesome shoutout, but he was born and is CANADIAN.

Bossy is by far the most underrated scorer of all time.

Because he's US born. I should be paid by SBR for having to come into these hockey related thread to straighten you guys out.

**jennahazeplays** · 02-21-11, 12:22 PM

modano IMO but not a lot 2 choose from here

**pavyracer** · 02-21-11, 12:25 PM

Sergei Fedorov

**D3 Mighty Ducks** · 02-21-11, 12:27 PM

Wayne Gretzky..........oh wait hes Canadian

**blueghost** · 02-21-11, 12:32 PM

got to agree here BRIAN LEETCH 1. 2 Norris Trophies
2. Calder cup
3.Stanley Cup
4.Conn Smythe trophy
nobody even close to that

**McBa1n** · 02-21-11, 12:35 PM

Wow, Lafontaine isn't getting enough love. He had that locked up years before he retired.
The guy was a flat out stud.
Chelios would be my second pick.

**Regul8er** · 02-21-11, 12:37 PM

Pat LaFontaine came to mind first, followed by Brian Leetch and Phil Housley.

**Regul8er** · 02-21-11, 12:49 PM

Kevin Stevens would have been a top 5 US born player in my opinion, if he stayed healthy. He was a pleasure to watch.

**opie1988** · 02-21-11, 01:01 PM

Don't be ridiculous.

It's clearly Modano. Period. No one else is even remotely close.

Also.....the Stars are clearly the single greatest US NHL organization of all time.

Period.

Any club that would have allowed Deuce to be involved with the organization at any level cannot be taken seriously!!

Kevin Stevens was just a simple crack head who put up points because he played with Mario Lemieux.
