Who are the best centers in NHL history? How about wingers? How can we
objectively rate the performances of individual defensive players? And
how can we make reasonable judgments about players at different
positions? Who is the greatest hockey player of the Expansion Era? Bobby
Orr? Wayne Gretzky? Gordie Howe?
Such are the questions debated by hockey columnist Steve Silverman in
Who's Better, Who's Best in Hockey? In this book, Silverman includes
analytics to help evaluate NHL players who have dominated over the last
fifty years. The result is a fascinating ranking of the best on the ice,
including legendary players like Gordie Howe as well as present-day
superstars like Sidney Crosby.
Throughout, Silverman discusses the many considerations that must be
made when comparing modern players with players of past decades and
players at different positions. Including biographical essays on those
top fifty players and vital statistics for their playing careers, Who's
Better, Who's Best in Hockey? is a must-have for anyone who considers
hockey to be more than just a sport.
