Criteria For Choosing The Top 100

The show ended at 11:07 ET, 8:07 in Los Angeles. And social media exploded. As expected. As it should.

Where was Jarome Iginla? And Joe Thornton? And Evgeni Malkin? Modern-day players of greatness. Just as old timers could ask where was Dit Clapper? Or Nels Stewart? Or Bill Cowley?

Let’s face it, there are more than 7,000 men who have had the honour of playing in the National Hockey League. All of them — yes all of them — were the best of the best. Some were just better.
