The grit. The toughness. The punishment he puts on himself and his opponents. The stache.
We may only be halfway through the season, but Leaf fans are witnesses to some of the toughest hockey we have ever seen, and it is all coming from one man -- Mike Brown. |

Who is the best player in the NHL? Today we marvel at the pure skill of a player such as Alexander Ovechkin and stare in awe at the playmaking abilities of one Sidney Crosby. Although these two players are great athletes and phenomenal hockey players, we are too soon to forget the legends that played the game. Wayne Gretzky has a record of 215 points in one season, last year Evgani Malkin led the league with 113 points. The greatest players in today’s game have a hard time getting to Gretzky’s half way marker. Comparing today’s players with the likes of The Great One is a joke, so who is the NHL’s top guy today? |

Hockey has been blessed with the very best down the middle during the past five decades. I have watched Wayne Gretzky from the first moment he and the Edmonton Oilers joined the NHL. Who has done as much for the game since he burst upon it with numbers that are unlikely ever to be matched? |

Like a few other montreal greats (Patrick roy and Ken Dryden) Carey Price came into a montreal team that expected great things from him. After playing a few games mid way through the season and playing stealler hockey that would make any head coach happy Carey went through a rocky time which ended up in him being sent back down to the minors. After going back to the minors to find his game Price has come back with some goaltending that leaves many hockey people wondering if he has a pluse. Price played many of Montreals last games from the trade deadline on. Montreal went as far as trading their #1 goalie for a second round draft pick. When Gainey made that move almost everyone thought the same thing how can Montreal trade their number one netminder for a second round draft pick putting all their faith on the shoulders than a less then proven 20 year old rookie? well so far Price has awnsered many of those questions. Playing his signature style of a calm Ice cold blooded rubber stopper. In the first round against the Bosten Bruins Prices first 4 games were among the top of the the goalies in the playoffs but after two games in which Price let in 10 goals some Montreal faithful (including myself) were asking themselves is this it? will Price finally show rookie jitters? Well in game 7 it seems as though he snuffed out any of those thoughts shutting the Bruins out and playing his same Ice Cold game. Now the only questions are if Price can lead Montreal to the finals to battle for the holy grail of hockey once again just like past heros like Roy and Dryden to bring the cup back to the most historic team in hockey history and to snap the long wait that has Montreal fans craving that elusive 25th stanley cup |

Next season Adam Graves will have his number 9 put up in the rafters with the other Ranger greats, and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. Not only did he work his tail off on the ice, but he also did so off the ice. What he did off the ice for charities in the New York area speak volumes about the person that he is. Knowing him personally is a privelige that I have. As a rookie in the OHL in1985-86 he recorded 64 points in 62 games for the Windsor Spitfires, and an additional 16 points in 16 games in the playoffs. His second year he ac(edited)ulated 100 points in 66 games with 17 more coming in 14 playoff games. In 1987-88 injuries limited him to just 37 games, but that didn't stop him from recording 60 points, and a whopping 32 points in just 12 playoff games. Drafted by the Detroit Red Wings 22nd overall in 1986, he didn't stick with the team as he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers, where he helped them win the Stanley Cup in 1989-90. After his brief 2 year stint with the Oilers, he signed on with the New York Rangers. |
