I look and on everyones list Jagr is near the top. He was just so dominant back then, and he still could be if he wanted to. What a waste.

To true. I think that the Pens overly coddled him for so long that he became bratty. I just can't understand how he can go from one of the best players ever to just a good player in such a short amout of time. I'm also slapping myself for forgeting about Hasek and Lidstrom. Some other that should at least get a mention are Larry Murphy, Cam Neely, Adam Oates, Brian Leech, Peter Bondra, Scott Stevens, Ed Belfour, Ron Francis, Doug Gilmour, and Pat Lafontaine.

i don't think he can be as dominant anymore even if he wanted to. he's almost 33, and he's lost that special something that made him extra elite. it's hard to explain what it is, but from watching him play you can tell he's not the same guy on the ice, regardless of what he does off the ice.

Man this is an unfair topic, but I guess a lot of good players are going to be left out.

1. Mario Lemiuex - Dominanted when in the lineup. He was unreal.
2. Jaromir Jagr - A bunch of Art Ross trophies, a couple of cups
3. Wayne Gretzky - Early 90s was amazing, mid 90s great, late 90 still a good player
4. Patrick Roy - Two cups, Vezinas. There was nothing he hasn't done
5. Eric Lindros - Despite injury problems, he was a dominant force
6. Pavel Bure - Simply electrifying even with all his knee problems
7. Dominik Hasek - Saying that he was unstoppable at times was an understatement
8. Joe Sakic - Truly came into his own with his Cup win
9. Steve Yzerman - Just like Sakic, the Stanley Cups put him into the elite category
10. Brett Hull - Easily the best shooter of the 90s

This is in not much of an order, just a general one. Guys like Bourque, Broduer (really coming into his own in since the turn or the century), and some many others could easily be on this list.

1. Jaromir Jagr
2. Mario Lemieux (would be #1 if not for the seasons lost to injury/retirement)
3. Eric Lindros
4. Patrick Roy
5. Pavel Bure
6. Ray Bourque
7. Al MacInnis
8. Wayne Gretzky
9. Brett Hull
10. Joe Sakic

1- Jaromir Jagr
2- Mario Lemieux
3- Patrick Roy
4- Wayne Gretzky
5- Ray Bourque
6- Joe Sakic
7- Dominik Hasek
8- Mark Messier
9- Steve Yzerman
10- Eric Lindros

Hard to leave Brodeur, Bure, Belfour et al off, but... stiff competition. I'm glad to see Al Mac make some of these lists. He might be my number 11.

And how in the world is Gretzky not making some of these lists? From 90-91 to 98-99, he was THE highest scorer, period, above Jagr, who only passes him because he played one more season, played more games, and on FARRRR better teams. Give him linemates two thirds as good as Jagrs and Wayne is number 1, no problem (Yachmenev? Sundstrom? MacLean? Granato?). And only Mario and Patrick had a playoff up there with Wayne's '93 performance (Sakic's was close, but he had tons of help, whereas LA only made it because Wayne supplied twice as much offense as any other King). '97 was also stellar, too, quietly better than anyone else, sans Mario, Sakic and Roy, considering the circumstances. It's not like he was Mark Messier or Ron Francis or Adam Oates... he was still an offensive superstar. (everything that could go wrong in '99, DID go wrong... lighten his painful burden even a tad and give him a decent linemate, and he'd still be nipping at 100 points, until he retired).

Excellent point. He simply was the great one. During his entire career he lead his team in scoring every year except for 93 when he had the back. But in 93 he put together that rediculous playoff. He averaged over a point a game in every year of the 90's except his last (an injury plagued year). Even in the Rangers jersey he made the highlights. I can remember him sinking the Habs in OT with 2 goals from behind the net when the Rangers came in on a saturday night. All stuff I can tell my kids, one day. I'm not saying he should be #1 but he definately is top 10.

We all remember the hype, me included. We forget one of the best players whose star didn't shine so brightly because he wasn't playing in a high-profile hockey market.

Who scored the most goals in the nineties?

Peter Bondra.

Best all around player for my money in the 90's was Peter Forsberg. Don't believe he's been on a single list.

So for you, the 90s = 1998-2004?

Nope. The 90’s for me started like most people - around 1990, 1991.

It is true that Forsberg hasn’t racked up the points like other forwards on this list, but he has been a superior all around player. I think of him as a Bryan Trottier for the 90’s. For that reason he compares favorably to other people listed – Kariya, Selanne, Lindros and Fedorov, for example. That is my opinion of course, as most of these posts are. I guess my real point is that he was barely listed – even as an honorable mention.

Although Forsberg hasn’t played the entire 90’s, he has been an impact player for most of it. This includes a respectable 30/86/116 year in 95/96. That was before 1998.

Or does the 1990’s for you not include that year?

I guess you havent checked the stats that really matters - the playoff stats.

1. Lemieux. He was just amazing
2. Jagr. He dominated, even without Mario.
3. Hasek. Always gave the Sabres a chance to win.
4. Sakic. Was great in Quebec, greater in Colorado
5. Gretzky. Still a great player even with his hard last years.
6. Oates. The best playmaker of the 90s.
7. Bourque Always the steadiest D-men of the league.
8. Yzerman Had some great years and turned into a complete forward.
9. Hull Mainly because of his 86 goals season.
10. Modano Quietly produced 80-more points each season.

All Peter Bondra did was score more goals than anybody else. Geez. It seems like you guys are assembling popularity lists. I'll never understand why the guy who consistently was a top scorer was never embraced as a top player. Was it because he played in Washington for most of his career? If he was a Leaf, he'd surely be on lists. More goals in the nineties than anyone!

Bondra didn't score the most goals in the nineties.
Brett Hull was number one with roughly 450 goals, nearly 100 more than the next one. Jagr had more goals as well.

I can't find my magazine with the stats of the nineties, but I remember Gretzky being no.1 in front of Jagr, while Hull was clearly the best goalscorer.
