Every NHL Team's Mount Rushmore! (greatest/most iconic 4 players)

Спорт

One of hockey's greatest debates is the "Mount Rushmore" for each team - the greatest, most iconic, or most beloved player. In this video I name the top 4 for all 32 NHL teams - from the 3rd year Seattle Kraken, to the century-old Original 6 franchises like the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens. In your opinion, what should be the Mount Rushmore for your favorite team? Comment below, and stick around for more content covering hockey history & culture!

    It gets a bit problematic when counting players from moved franchises that have absolutely no connection to the current city. Hawerchuk has nothing to do with the Yotes, he’s a Winnipeg Jets icon - nothing else. Kovalchuk has nothing to do with the current Jets. Same goes for Hartford and Quebec. I mean, no one refers to Kansas City Scouts players when thinking of the Devils.

    I know Gretzky brought so much to not only LA, but hockey culture in the south. It’s arguable that the Sharks, Ducks, Coyotes, and Knights might not even exist if Gretzky didn’t explode the hockey market down here. That being said, I probably would swap him out for Luc. Gretzky was only on around for about 7 years, Luc has dedicated most of his playing career to the Kings. He was the light during some very dark periods, and as you mentioned, is still the current president of the team. So much dedication to the Kings from a legend of the game that he has to have that spot.

Appreciate the snub shout out to Doug Harvey, he is much overlooked in todays hockey world. Most don't realize he was the first successful offensive defensemen in the league. Howie Morenz & Aurèle Joliet deserve a snub shout out as well. Choosing just 4 from any of the O6 teams would have been nearly impossible, great job with your choices! How about a Mt. Rushmore collectively for all the defunct teams and one for the officials/refs?

Kind of like what you're saying about refs, I think it'd be interesting to learn a little more about the non-players who have made great contributions to the league and the sport - like the "builders" of the hockey hall of fame.

And in that moment, I also want to give a huge shout-out to caps fans who treated vladdie and that moment as if he were one of their own, and because of that, I'll always have great respet for the caps nation.

    (1/2) I thoroughly commend your effort putting this list and video together. It can't be easy whittling down historic franchises to just 4 names (or 5, in Vancouver's case). I decided I would endeavor to create a similar list, but including some eras for older/moved franchises and incorporating the histories of all teams that could have been eligible to compete for the Stanley Cup in the post-challenge era-the NHA (1909-17), which became the NHL in 1917 upon the ousting of Eddie Livingstone; the PCHA (1911-24) and WCHL/WHL (1921-26), which merged with each other in 1924 and whose victor would play against the NHA/NHL champion in the early 20th century; and the WHA (1972-79), which merged with the NHL in 1979 and employed big-name players such as Gordie Howe, Bobby Hull, and Wayne Gretzky. I combined several short-lived defunct franchises into groups, but a few I felt lasted long enough to be separated out. I also limited myself to sets of 4 players that could be part of the same starting 6 if they were to all magically be transported into the same time period, so any second goalie, third defenseman, or fourth forward is replaced by a slightly lesser player from a different position group. (Some players who played both forward and defense, or were rovers in the early days when seven-person lineups were a thing, are given a benefit-of-the-doubt inclusion, so if you think "those are all forwards," you may be right but I'm considering one as a defenseman.) I did this process mostly mathematically/formulaically, trying to identify those players whose tenure with their franchise and era incorporated the best combination of longevity and value, as measured using a highly convoluted variation on the point shares metric used by hockey-reference.com. Awards and championships are not considered, but playoff games are incorporated into a player's tenure. All statistics are current as of the end of the 2023 postseason.

For the Lightning it's pretty insane how many active franchise history making players they have right now. Vassi, Stamkos, Hedman, Kucherov, Point, & Sergy have been current ongoing. Really hoping they can secure another, it's been something watching them this season go from one game looking like they can't be touched to the next game where they look like the lines had been completely rewritten.

    As a Caps fan since their inception the greatest moment is obviously the 2018 Cup run. Proudest of the way that team set the bar so high for celebrating the achievement!!

    Great video! Amazing research! I don't agree with all picks, but definitely for most! For me, Darryl Sittler would have to be on the Leafs Mt. Rushmore, but as you said, the oldest teams, HOW do you narrow down the greatest! (and I'm glad you had Salming on there - RIP!) Had to laugh at your comment on the Canadiens having a Mt. Rushmore just for goalies!! No kidding! My #29 is for Dryden - so I'm biased there! I would've had Kurri in for McDavid - no doubt he's explosive & elite, but he's still got a lot of his career to go and prove himself. Kurri would be right behind Gretz & Messier, for me. Cheers!

    You didn't get the Vancouver one right. Should be Luongo in place of McLean and Bure in for Naslund. Bure was our best player ever, and his tenure wasn't THAT short. It's funny that both Luongo and Bure could feature on the monument for both Florida and Vancouver.

    Great Video! Really enjoyed that. Though I think too subjective if we're adding management experience to player achievements. Has to just be best players...my two major beefs..why is Ron Hextall there with his Conn Smythe over Bernie Parent with his two Stanley Cups and two Conn Smythes??? Would have liked to hear a better explanation on that..Parent is a far bigger icon in that organization than Hextall, too. Should be at least two Flyers from the championship years, and you could make a strong case for three.... Marcus Naslund over Pavel Bure feels almost criminal and, and should be illegal...Shame that Adam Oates never played long enough in any city to be considered. Surely he would be on the Blues Mt Rushmore had he stayed there.... Hull was a 40-50 goal scorer without Oates, and a 70-80 goal scorer with him. Spot on with the Oilers, Leafs and many others. Looking forward to seeing some more videos!

    In the last thirty years, the two greatest Montreal Canadiens moments were when Saku came back, and when Kovalev levelled Darcy Tucker after Tucker tried to take his head off with a high elbow. The finesse which Kovalev showed to get the puck back, control it, and get it back to Tucker for the tackle, was everything outside of what the Canadiens have become known for.

    As for my Canes you can also make a case for Glen Wesley . I think this Mount can change if the Canes get that cup with Guys like Aho and Slavin. Many fans would like to see Fancis replaced as many fans believe he has been the one blocking RBA from the HHOF. He has fallen out of favor with Canes fans. But he was Ronnie Franchise! A Lot of fans would also love to see Mr. Game Seven Justin Williams on that list. Most Iconic was game 7 2006 Stanley Cup win!

    As a Flyers fan, i have a different Mt Rushmore. Bobby Clarke - The greatest Flyer ever as he won 2 Cups and 3 Hart Trophies. He also took the Flyers to 3 Stanley Cup Finals as GM so I’m not sure how you could say he wasn’t a good GM? Bernie Parent- How could you have Hextall over Bernie? Bernie is the reason they won both Cups as he won the Conn Smythe both years and Vezina both years too. Eric Lindros - If he wasn’t injury plagued, he would hold all the Flyers records. He was dominant in his prime but he just wasn’t the same after he started getting concussions in 1998. Mark Howe - Probably one of the most underrated Defenseman of the 1980’s. He was the Flyers best defenseman for a decade and pretty much led the team in +/- every year. He was a league leading +85 in 1985-86 and would log 30+ minutes a game. He was runner up for the Norris Trophy multiple times because there were so many HOF defenseman from that era like Bourque, Coffey, Stevens, Robinson and Langway. Honorable mention: Claude Giroux, Bill Barber, Brian Propp, Tim Kerr, John Leclair and Pelle Lindbergh.
