Another tough one to answer, made more difficult by the changes in the game’s speed over the last 50 years.
If you were a fan in the 60s, you might never have gotten over watching the Flying Frenchmen – aka the Montreal Canadiens – hit the fastest Hab of all, Yvan Cournoyer, with a pass as he streaked over the blueline. Fans in the 70s were likely mesmerized by Bobby Orr and Guy Lafleur, while 80s observers will probably choose the sublime Paul Coffey from our poll. Those watching the NHL last season would find it hard to ignore young Erik Karlsson, who injected explosiveness into every Ottawa Senators game.
