Top 5 Defenseman ever

[Seanzi604]

I have been wondering what everybody thinks about this for a while now. Modern players seem to be rated higher than those who played 10, 20 or even 50 years ago and I just want to know what everybody thinks.



Here are mine

1) Bobby Orr
2) Doug Harvey
3) Paul Coffey
4) Nicklas Lidstrom
5) Ray Bourque

what do you think?

1) Orr
2) Lidstrom
3) Bourque
4) Harvey
5) Potvin

 

[TheGriceBoys]

1) Orr
2) Bourque
3) Horton
4) Larry Robinson
5) Lidstrom

 

[Bossy22]

1.) Bobby Orr
2.) Denis Potvin
3.) Ray Bourque
4.) Doug Harvey
5.) Paul Coffey

In order:
Orr
Bourque
Potvin
Harvey
Lidstrom

 

[Big Tall]

Orr
Bourque
Harvey
Robinson
MacInnis

The MacInnis pick is a bit biased, but he's certainly top 10.

Orr
Lidstrom
Bourque
Potvin
Coffey

My top five would be;

Doug Harvey
Bobby Orr
Denis Potvin
Tim Horton
Bill Gadsby
These guys were great defenseman who could lay people down with devastating body checks, sure Bourque and Coffey have tons of points but I don't consider them pure defenseman. JUST MY OPINION.
