    As a huge Kesler fan, it is surprising how quickly he is being forgotten in the NHL space. Also I would love to see the timeline had the Canucks won in 2011, Luongo and Kesler most likely don't leave, leading the Canucks to maybe not get either Horvat, Pettersson or Hughes. Boston might have the extra drive to win the 2013 or 2019 or both cup finals should they make it.

      As a bruins fan i think the team would have been broken up after the 2013-2016 seasons where they vastly underachieved in the playoffs, but again it changes everything. They probably fire Julien after their 1st round exit vs washington in 2012 and maybe the next coach gets more out of them? Anyways, i think Kesler's problem is that he was only a top end player for 3 years, 5 tops. And even then he was on Vancouver's second line. Bergeron may be a second liner but it was more of a 1A and 1B line with Krecji / Savard. Had Kesler put up more years like the 2011 season (i think he had like 44 goals and 40-50 assists) he would have gotten his due. One other thing that hurt Kesler is the fact that hes an american. I feel like europeans and crafty canadian players get extra credit by fans and writers because they feel that everything they do is smart even if they cant explain it. But those same fans see a Kessler and Backes and think they just work hard and grind the other team down.

    Honestly, think Shane Doan is underrated, people see him as just that solid character and leadership guy. But the guy put up nearly 1000 points and over 400 goals while playing with numerous horrible Coyotes teams. If he had a consistently good team around him he'd be remembered as one of the best Power Forwards of his era.

      Nah. He was rated just fine. He was a very good player for a very long time, but he was never great. In 21 seasons, he had only two thirty-goal seasons, and never hit a point-per-game. He made a couple of all-star games, and got a couple of honorary awards and that was about what he deserved.

When I watch this video and think about the ideas posited, I think to myself, "Thank God, being the team sport that it is, Gaboriks name is forever inscribed on a Stanley Cup panel. Even after that plate is removed from the cup, it will be hung in a hall of hockey honor for the ages. Something small yes, yet so significant, and part of the tiny % of an Elite club of hockey players who won a SC trophy. I'm trying to remember if he was on the 12' and 14' club. That's my next destination from here...the Kings cups. Thanks for a great video that made me think.

      He wasnt anywhere near Crosby or Toews level so i dont think its relevant. Id agree that hes underrated or kinda forgotten by fans though. Maybe some of that is because he changed teams pretty frequently and the end of his career was marked by injuries. I think Ryan O'Rielly is a much better 2 way player than Hossa but id obviously rather Hossa on my team.

    • @misakikoko4500

    Kesler was HUGE man. A star, no doubt about it, and really zero fandom for any team played in. But go damn did we ALL knew him well when each of our team crossed path with the guy. To me, he is a playoff archetype, a MVP of many runs, DEEP ones! No rings, but never forgotten.
    I feel I might also be a generational thing. Also information wasn't everywhere back them all the time; so if you started to be at an age where hockey had to take several big steps backs, you were even less informed back then without newsfeeds on smartphones, etc.
    Also don't worry kids, the hockey passion can indeed be back later, in the 30s especially (it's when you realize that no, things will never get better, etc. So might as well enjoy so good okay while everything else burn eh? ;)

    I'm so glad someone finally made a video shedding light on just how good Luongo was, people forget but there was like a 5 - 6 year stretch in the 2000s where he was arguably the best goalie in the world. There's a reality where Luongo wins the Vezina in 2004 and 2007, along with the Hart and Ted Lindsay in 2007. He's still considered like a top 20 goalie of all time probably and was a first ballot hall of famer, but if he wins those awards I think his people's perception of where he ranks among the all time greats changes considerably.

    How about this: Scott Stevens never won a Norris Trophy, playing his whole career for Washington and New Jersey (outside of one season in St. Louis), and you can't go much further east than that without ending up in the drink.
    As for the Selke Trophy, it's kind of hokey to begin with. To judge a player's worth for the Selke, you have to watch him game after game to see his ability, because many of the skills required are subtle and only come out after continued watching. You can't do that for every team in the league, so voters just vote on reputation and once a guy wins, they'll vote for him over & over again.
    Mark Stone is an example. I'm a sort of fan of Ottawa and have watched a lot of their games over the years. I was singing Stone's praises on hockey fan sites for years and saying he was a top-10 player in the league and most reactions from other posters was "Who?" because who watches the Senators? Yet you had to watch them every night to see his value. Around the league the professional hockey people knew, which showed up when he went on the trade market and he suddenly became a big name because every other team wanted him, but until then nobody outside of Ottawa even knew who he was. Not saying Bergeron wasn't a great player, but he played on Boston, which is a team that gets a lot of attention, but who's to say there wasn't another player (like Barkov) on a team that nobody was watching who was actually better while the lazy writers just ticked off a name because they ticked it off the year before?

    “Not flashy”…yet Datsyuk was one of the flashiest and still deserved this award for sure once maybe twice when it was awarded to Bergeron. In fact, Datsyuk deserved the Hart and Selke in years when he got neither. Datsyul made Canadian writers (doubters) look foolish throughout his career, just like defenders. Maybe, it was his lack of English, his preternatural skill, or his hard yet sportsmanlike play that rubbed the old guard the wrong way. Despite the naysayers, he’s still the most influential (in terms of players imitating him) hockey star since 2000. McDavid, Makar, or Kucherov could surpass him…maybe…but none of those names are as good both ways.

Offensive PP player? Yes. 5 on 5 offensive chances and production? Yes. PK? Yes. He's a forward who could play line 1 on every possible role and do good at it.

    I watched the 2011 Stanley cup run by the Canucks, and was particularly tuned in to the Stanley Cup finals against Boston. It seemed the Bruins were allowed to get away with murder (Marchand's back-breaking intent-to-injure hit on one of Vancouver's key players mid-run) while the Canucks were getting called for more penalties of the, shall we say, "iffy" variety than Boston was. Eastern bias perhaps? After all, the Bruins certainly presented as a much larger merch market (and therefore more royalties for the league) than the Canucks did - being that Vancouver's fan base was largely limited to BC while Boston's encompassed the entire eastern seaboard.
    But the most baffling event of this entire series was game seven of the finals - the most important game of Luongo's career. Stellar throughout the entire 2011 playoffs, Luongo looked rather ordinary in game seven, allowing four goals that he arguably should have been able to stop. the rest of the Canucks team played their hearts out in this losing cause, dropping a 4-0 decision to Boston and thereby the Stanley cup. So what happened? Did Luongo come down with the flu? Was his drink clandestinely spiked with sedatives? Or were there even more nefarious 1919 Chicago "Black Sox"-type mob-influence tricks at play? Did somebody "GET TO" Luongo? Considering the diametrically-opposite night-and-day differences in Luongo's performance that night in his most-important game vs. the rest of his playoff run, these are questions that needed to be asked - but apparently were not.

    Luongo honestly shoud've been the Vezina winner in 2011. I agree 100% ab Thomas getting it in 2009 but man 2011 should've been lou. Yes he and the canucks did cough up a 3-2 series lead at the worst possible time being in the final since they obviously could've won the cup in game 6 in Boston but the vezina is a regular season award and the canuck players in front of him did have a lot of serious ailments they'd played through like kesler, edler, erhoff, higgins, hamhuis, bieksa, etc. And kesler yah was a guy who quietly dominated the 2010s decade my god do i miss him. Such as badass who'd do anything for hsi teammates and superiors. I was never a fan of the canucks, ducks or panthers but my god these takes on these 2 guys i would say are pretty accurate.

      seriously what is wrong with u thomas set records in 2011 he had the highest sv percentage ever at that point and time vancouver had a beter regular season team they were first in the league boston was 6th lou was not the superior goalie that year get over it man thomas is a borderline hhof because of that single sseason borderline as in he wont get in but hes close if he had one more year like that it would be hard to reject a goalie with 2 conn Smyths

    I wanna see a video on the prime of Corry Perry. When he played, not only was he dropping the mits a lot, I mean he's avaraged around 115 pims a season. But he also was a very good offensive player. My man almost had 100 points and had 50 goals in the dead puck era. If that level of talent was translated today. He would probably go down as the best grinder of all time. To me he still is.

    I think you're giving Kesler way too much credit. He only had the one 40 goal season, was usually around 20-25, and never broke 30 again. He made a name for himself by being annoying to play against, going for cheap shots, and a few times a season crossing the line; he was never a premier player, just an above average, consistent second liner, and there's no shame in that. Heck even his Selke season was the same year Corey Perry won the Hart, if that reveals anything about the league at the time.

      I think the reason Kesler won't make it is due more to injuries than anything else.

So he really only had a handful of HOF type years out of a long career.
