Three Greats Pick Their All-Time NHL Players

01/27/2017 at 8:57am EST

from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun,

There’s Wayne Gretzky, the NHL's all-time leading scorer (2,857 points).

There’s Martin Brodeur, who accrued the most victories of any goalie (691) in the NHL's first century of existence.

And last — but certainly not least — is Scotty Bowman, who has more wins (1,244) than any NHL coach.

Interestingly, their all-star team selections significantly varied, to say the least....

SCOTTY BOWMAN
GOALIES — Patrick Roy, Martin Brodeur, Ken Dryden, Bernie Parent, Terry Sawchuk, Glenn Hall, Jacques Plante

DEFENCEMEN — Bobby Orr, Doug Harvey, Nicklas Lidstrom, Eddie Shore

FORWARDS — Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Maurice Richard, Gordie Howe, Jean Beliveau

In Bowman's own words:

“It’s so hard ... I can’t narrow it down.

“The easiest one is on defence. Orr, Harvey — Eddie Shore, I didn’t see him play but I know what people told me about him -— and Lidstrom. I don’t think anyone would argue about those four. Those are mine.
