message: Why is Eddy Shore on this list; and before Guy Lafleur, is it a joke?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.130.56.213 (talk) 17:24, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

1. I removed the speedy deletion tag. It remains debatable whether such lists should be deleted. Speedy is only for inconstible copyvio.  But the deletion will certainly be pursued by those who think it is. 
2.So it would be wise to get the permission acordingto WP:COPYREQ. DGG (talk) 12:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Anyone who thinks Gretzky was better than Orr did not see Orr play. Orr WAS better than Gretzky and Lemieux at the same time. 
im pretty sure Bobby ORr was #2 on this list  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbittner (talk • contribs) 14:37, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  is this right? 

message: Can you say to me where this ranking is coming from ? I have the almost complete 1997 list of Hockey News and it does'nt correspond with yours. I have no doubt that Gordie Howe is on the original list. On the 97's list, he's ranked third. If you forgot him, it could explain why there's only 99 hockey players on your list. —Preceding (talk • contribs) 21:40, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Come on? First European to have the Stanley Cup and first to win the Conn Smyte Trophy and third of all defenseman to win the Norris Trophy 6 times I think he should be up there!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MichaelVVV (talk • contribs) 04:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nick Lidstrom? 

message: I would think that since he is not active in the NHL, that the italics can come off on the list.  If I am wrong on that, let me know. Whammies Were Here 13:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jaromir Jagr 

message: Were the flags on this from the The Hockey News list, or added in the Wiki. If they were not on the original list then they shouldn't be here. Also, putting the Slovakia flag beside his name is wrong on many levels. First, there was not even a Slovakia when his parents emigrated. Second he spent all his life in Canada and, he was so young, do we know if he ever played a single hockey game before he came to Canada. Finally, his parents left Czechoslovakia to escape Communism. They made there choice be Canadians. I'm also not sure of what the significance that he was the highest ranked foreign-born player... So what??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BashBrannigan (talk • contribs) 15:53, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not a Russian flag. It was the flag of the Slovak Republic at the time of Mikita's birth (the Russian flag has a different shade of blue).--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 03:37, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Sweeny Schriner

message: Peter Stastny was Slovak, not Czech. Also, the Slovak Republic did not exist when Stan Mikita was born, however, the Czechoslovakian flag back then was the same as the Czech Republic flag today, so I'm not sure what's the right flag to use in that case.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jansuch (talk • contribs) 
:Stastny was born in Czechoslovakia though, and that is what the flag represents.  I'm not a fan of the flags in this case, however, as I don't believe they are relevant to the list or the players.  Especially in the cases of Mikita and Schriner.  If it was properly done, this article might discuss that in prose, not confusing flag icons. Resolute 19:48, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
