Great post with a lot of thought. Here I go with my 2cents. Dave Semenko was not KO'd by Playfair! By all accounts, and Semenko's too, Larry buckled Dave with a great shot/shots. Semenko said that was the hardest he was ever hit, no friggin KO. As for lineage, Semenko was widely reguarded througout the leaugue as the Champ for let say 80-83ish. Yes Wilson, and Playfair were every bit as tough, arguably tougher, but not nearly as busy as Semenko. Semenko was goin with everyone at that time, and most NHL players, coaches, GM's would have probley called him the champ at that time.
