Top 10 Best Active Hockey Players
Best players of the greatest sport ever, everyone on this list has played on the international level at some point, so incase you have questions, I didnt add anyone who hasnt played at an international level.
Sidney Patrick Crosby ONS (born August 7, 1987) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who currently serves as captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League. It's really between Crosby and Ovechkin. My vote goes to Crosby because he brings home Championships, not just individual awards. Two Eastern Conference Titles in a row, One Stanley Cup, An Olympic Gold... and the Golden Goal! The Kid is The Man!
Of course their are also going to be dumb Americans changing USA USA when their best player is Canadian. The American teams get skilled players like Crosby while Canadian teams get the Americans like Bobby Ryan for the Ottawa senators.
crosby #1 its no contest. just won rocket richard. amazing leader. just won cup and olympic gold. the people who dicide the hart are stupid for not voting crosby. ovechkin sucks!
Crosby is WAY better than Ovechkin. Ovi used to be great but has totally fallen apart now. To bad Crosby has a concussion he would be dominating. Even Malkin is better than Ovechkin.
Alexander Mikhailovich "Alex" Ovechkin is a Russian professional ice hockey winger and captain of the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League. This shouldn't be close. Ovi is so much more talented than that whiner Crosby. The refs allow ridiculous things to happen to him and rarely call anything. He gets double-teamed frequently, but when he puts his head down, no one can stop his heavy shot, which hits the net like a rocket.
More individual awards than Crosby which shows that he is the better talent. The awards that Crosby has that ovi does not are TEAM awards. Crosby has always had the better team around him and ovi has carried the caps to 5 division titles in the past 6 years by himself. Ovi is the best!
Stamkos scores goals, sets people up, has a great plus minus, and is arguably the next best under Crosby
Stamkos is definitely 3rd under Crosby/Ovechkin. No arguing this.
No he should be tied at 2nd
There are at least 20 people before him!
Evgeni Vladimirovich Malkin (born 31 July 1986), nicknamed "Geno", is a Russian professional ice hockey centre and alternate captain for the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). A very consistent player who scores goals when you need him to.
Good but definitely too high
Malkin is no match for other players on his team orpik, letang, kunitts, CROSBY
Underrated player
Connor McDavid (born January 13, 1997) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre and captain for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League (NHL). Best hockey player ever. Without a doubt. His skill set and hockey iq is second to none. He can skate faster than anyone on the ice. Make top defencemen look ridiculous and shoot without the goalie realizing.
Mcdavid might not deserve to be number 1 on the list but if u think about it he has been averaging 1.8 points per game and is towering over Sidney Crosby in points and it's he's 2nd year
Not when he is on Edmonton and by the way he is just 19 and isn't really proved himself
Hockey's next "Great One." The words of the Great One himself, Wayne Gretzky.
Better than Kane in my opinion. The reason people think Kane is better than Stamkos and Toews is because they are Americans. If they were Canadians they would agree with me.
3 Stanley Cups! And 2 goals in 30 seconds
Not even close. Best player in the nhl
Kane is so much better captain serious
Patrick Timothy Kane II (born November 19, 1988) is an American professional ice hockey right winger for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). Should be top five (better than Toews)
Will be the best American player ever when its all said and done (and this is coming from a Canadian! )
His speed on the ice is amazing
Mr. Clutch
When he's on, absolutely NO one compares... Ovechkin scores like crazy, but when the money's on the line (see Stanley Cup Finals, 2010, game 6, OT goal), Kane kills it... always!
Should be top five and he is better than Toews
Will go down as the best American player ever
His speed on the ice is amazing
No one is one the level, the snipe & the offensive skills are beyond comparising
John Tavares is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre and an alternate captain for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. Come on, Really? Tavares is one of the best 3 players in the NHL. look at the teams he's been on. The Islanders are really turning things around and wouldn't be surprised if Tavares averaged between 90 and 100 points the next 10-12 years. look at what he has accomplished so far. AND he's ONLY 23.
Totally him and I am islanders fan. MY FAVORITE PLAYER. the best though
1. Sidney Crosby
2. Alexander ovechkin
3. Tim Thomas
4. John Tsavares
5. Mark Streit
5. Calahaan on the rangers
I don't know that many other hockey players than rangers or islanders
Amazing people
Should swap places with jagr
The Newcomers
Letang is a underrated beast. He actually looks like he is the knight about to slay the monster Malkin... (I love Malkin) Whatever, GO TANGER!
He can't defend
I think this guy should be number 2 or 3 on this list
Auston Matthews is an American professional ice hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League.
Carey Price is a Canadian professional ice hockey goaltender who plays for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League. Best goalie in the NHL, in my opinion!
One of the greatest goalies
How was he not on the list! Great player in my opinion. 30 goal season in just his second season!
He is the bomb. Top 10 please!
Art Ross trophy winner
Top 10 left winger
Giroux really deserves a high spot. Not only does he always end up high on the points list, he inspires his team as a great team. Hey, he was nominated for MVP for a reason!
