He was a decent goal scorer.

Talented scorer. As a person, I think he's an a-hole.

Decent?

He had one of the best releases of all time and will go down as one of the best pure goal scorers of his generation. He had the ability to find open ice and know where there was an opening in the net without even having to look at it. Watching him just pound pucks in the net was a pleasure.

As a person, I don't know him. Obviously he comes across as a bit of a jerk in certain interviews. From people I know who have had accounts with him, they say he is typically good to his fans.

Also, it is important to note, that much like Gretzky, Hull is a talented player who really supports the role of an enforcer and believes in tough hockey.

I think he wasn't a bad/evil/a-hole by a person even if he didn't say always so good things.
A honestly, outspoken man with great humour.

When G.Courtnall to gives a bad pass to him so Brett said(of course) ; -That must/have to be a joke.

A many, many, many legendary stories about Brett Hull.
I think he's a good by a person and very good goal-scorer, also quite smart player(even if he can't to pass ever eh!).

A goal scores goal scorer whatever that means, pure sniper.
I wish he played for his country instead of the states, traitor! j/k

So what is the secret to Brett Hull's success? Even Hull admits he doesn't really know. One piece of advice Brett took from his famous father, was the idea that when a player is most out of the play is when he's actually most dangerous. Brett Hull has always played the game with that in mind — sometimes skating away from the play to lose a defender and then doubling back to come into a prime scoring area with no one defending against him.

One of the biggest douche bags of all-time. From what I hear, his ego scored a 1/3rd of all his 741 goals...

He was a 1 way player, that's why he might get overlooked sometimes, but that doesn't change the fact he's one of the greatest goal scorers of all time.

One of the best pure snipers in NHL history. Always outspoken, which often makes him seem like an ass. But I at least give him credit for being willing to throw out his opinions.

ahhh Brett Hull. I have always seen Brett as a natural goal score like every great in the game so far. But to some extent, I dont think he was ever as good as so would "Talk" about. He had speed and the sniping the twine skills, but as a fighter i would say. a -100. had Brett not be so much of an A-hole, I'm sure he would have turned out different in the matter of community.
