Matt Ross: Top 10 Greatest Kings Ranked by The Hockey Writers

Not maybe, doughty definitely should be in Brown's place

two Cups, should be more recent guys on this list

Quick over Vachon for sure

greatest crowns

jiffy pop crown
chevrolet crown
aughts crown

Quick, Simmer, Doughty on the list instead of Vachon, Goring, Brown. Gretzky only number 3?

I am sick of always seeing Gretzky in the 3 spot on top 10 lists.

Kopitar should be higher on the list , and Drew doughty also on the list to take over for brown . if you did a top 15 then brown would be on the list . And yes i agree with quick on the list .

How is he third on an LA Kings list. You just lost all credibility

OK, I know the Dan Marino argument and that championships don't always equate to greatness, but c'mon. A lot of these guys won f8ck all and played mostly on some really, really bad teams while putting up good numbers.

Here's my list:

10. Mattias Norstrom (fight me)
9. Bernie Nicholls
8. Dave Taylor
7. Marcel Dionne
6. Johnny Quick
5. Rob Blake
4. Luc Robitalille
3. Drew Doughty
2. Anze Kopitar
1. Wayne Gretzky

I am sick of always seeing Gretzky in the 3 spot on top 10 lists.

chevrolet crown
aughts crown

No love for Carter eh? He was outstanding in at least one of their cup runs.

I'm guessing you are less than 30 years old?

1A. Ilya Kovalchuk

2 Stanley Cups
2 Gold Medals
1 Norris and nominated I believe 3 other times
playing almost 30 minutes a night and being ranked by media and players as a top 5 dman in the league all in a Kings uniform.

Tell me again how Doughty isn’t in the top 10 again?

I'd throw Jay Wells in there...for a little protection !

I raise you Crown Royal.

The Rose and Crown Pub.

For those of you who are Marcel Dionne fans, I just discovered he has a restaurant in Niagara Falls, and apparently he's there almost all the time:

I haven't actually been, so I can't tell you if it is actually good or not.

2. Luc Robitaille

When we played street hockey after school, Luc was one of the regulars we would pretend to be. Why wouldn't you want to be him? He was an awesome player and had great hair. Guy built a career on cleaning up the loose change and knowing how to to find the back of the net. It rules that he's still working with the Kings.


Same here.
And I lived in western New York.

Thomas sandstrom?

Well... he should always be after Mario and Bobby.

There was something about the dude

The answer is 99. Not only as best to wear that forgettable sweater, but best "King." There might not be a single team on the left coast or south of the mason dixon if it weren't for 99 following his netherhead to tinsel town.

No Justin Williams love after all those clutch goals?
