Not sure if this the right place, but the Lemiuex vs Gretzky arguement got me thinking.....
IMO
Ray Bourque is the greatest defenceman of all time simply because he was a all-star player for 20 years. He did have the fortune of not getting seriously injured like Orr, but Bourque was the standard for great dman in the 80' and 90'.
here are his career totals..
games-1612
goals-410
ass-1169
points-1579
pims-1141
one fo only 6 damn to score 30 goals and score 20+ 11 times.
won the caldr cup, 5 norris trophys, 1 stanley cup
19 time all-star
is the NHL all time scorer for defeneman and 9th overall in NHL history for total points..
10th all time for playoff points..and one of only 3 defman to top 1000 points..
Best dman ever, I think so...
