The Greatest NHL Player Of All Time From Every Country 

Yeah I will

I will try

U forgot Australia

Komarov is from Finland and has played only in Finnish Team!

SOCHI, RUSSIA - FEBRUARY 14: Leo Komarov #71 of Finland waits for a faceoff against Norway during the Men's Ice Hockey Preliminary Round Group B game on day seven of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics at Shayba Arena on February 14, 2014 in Sochi, Russia.

Knew I missed one 😔

@@OhNyquist still incredible the amount of info you gathered for it! Loved the vid bro

Soon to be Jordan Spence

You also forgot quebec. Don't forget for all the separatists.

Nathan Walker was born in Wales tho, so for this vid he wouldn't have even counted as Australian

But did Draisaitl score 50 in 07?

@@MenacingBunnysMashups Yup, he was playing against other 11 year olds in '07.

Did Draisaitl crash a Ferrari ?

I agree, Draisitl is a superstar, Heatly was a all-star, but was never that good

😅

what about buffalo sabres Legend Taro Tsujimoto?

@@turarosicky Oh yeah I nearly forgot! Such an hall of famer!

How’d u forget about Taro Tsujimoto

bruh imagine forgetting about Taro Tsujimoto from Osaka; Japan!! Such an idiot!

Yes. It should have been the player who held that ethnicity....not just born there. O'Marra is Canadian.

50 in 07

who?

Plus his beatyfull hit on lindross just makes him #1

100%. Zubrus was a good second liner, but Kasparaitis was a top pairing defenseman. Give me the guy that slots into the starting lineup.

Ya that was strange, it’s almost like he forgot about him. An very convincing argument can be made for Hasek over Jagr

@@bigsav1984 no

you cant be perfect, probably a mistake

@@bigsav1984 no. Hasek was a beast, but Jagr was absolutely mental. Arguably in top 5 players to ever play the game. Honourable mention, sure. But no way he was better than Jagr.

I would say most people would choose Hasek, me included.

Czechs also.. :)

McDavid is a hoax.

Brain Leach and Cris Chelios are by far the best defenseman from the USA. Great leader's as well !!

@@erickouniakis5722 what about Chris Chelios?

@@bobiggins6278 Ooops how can i forget Cris Chelios. Chelios has played more games then any other defenseman. Yes i would have to put chelios at #1.along side Leach ...

yep, Leetch and Chelios a coin-toss, but I go with Kane. In 5 years, it might be Matthews.

LOL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHHA

Wrong. He born in Soviet union.

@@karvakasiedward4002 in the same way as I was born in the EU

@@jokelius1 EU is not federation, like Soviet union was, or USA is. Estonia was part of that, but it wasnt independent.

@@karvakasiedward4002 They still had their independent nationalities and their own flags with some Soviet influence.

VIVE LA FRANCE ! ! ! When Paul MacLean turned up for France, I was actually thinking of Philippe Bozon, but ultimately, he was much more famous for what he achieved outside of the NHL. Among others, I remember him playing for German club Adler Mannheim with his fellow countryman Christian Pouget on the line and totally killing it. They won there three DHL titles in a row in the late '90s. :-)

But heater though

drat didn’t score 50 in ‘07 tho

Yeeeeaaaa

@@_evangupta Pfft, didn't even win the Rocket.

He is the best. Or can anyone say 100% canadian Dany Heatley is a german player?

The Dominator was the reason i started watching nhl

mee rillaa siitä :D

Ny rillataa!

The Cowboys gave up 21 unanswered points in the 4th quarter & got blown out by the Football Team...www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vPLw... Join: discord.gg/highlightheaven

Well, not gonna argue with that, but after him I would mention Super Mario and Bobby Orr

Pfft, and Jagr as best Czech, what about the main man Patrik Stefan ?

@@Lpayer Or Slovakian 12 overall pick Marek Zagrapan :D

Also ovechkin over vakupov for russia is laughable

Come on you have to be an idiot to say Jagr is better than Patrik Stefan

Would you put him above Stastny? No way.

Thanks for ❤️ my comment can u please do best nhl player from every state all time

@@jamesc.8331 Northern Ireland is different from Republic of Ireland. I knew this would happen, lol

Jasne že je Slovák

Did you even watch the video? He addresses that right in the beginning.

He fucking said that it's based only on where the guy was born

+ he's lived like since his 25 in Washington and that's more than half of his life if I'm correct

@@michalsemko5572 Yeah, but that alone robbed the Ukraine to have a proper representation in this video, since Bondra is a product of Czechoslovakian/Slovakian ice hockey.

Have you even seen the video? He says there that he goes by the place of birth. Of course Olaf Koelzig is German, and Dany Heatley Canadian, but the point is where they were born.

Gotta be some of the guys on the Red Army team, right? I'd go with Vladislav Tretiak.

Tretiak and the great number 17 Kharlamov he’d be up there with Gretzky and Super Mario! Watch him play he used to dance around team Canada!

@@17irod Tret was frickin amazing.

Jimmy Jo. I'd have to agree but he was a well hated player all through the league !!

Kasparaitis was hated because he was a dirty player that turtled when confronted and deliberately injured many players. Nobody pays 100$ to watch Kasparaitis illegally kneeing star players.

I agree with you! To be honest you could argue who is better, Jagr or Hašek as they are legends of their own position.

@@isaacfernandes560 true both were amazing in their prime

Darren Puppa and Bob Essensa.

@@subraxas wut

But he was born there...

@@lukasvybihal4643 buz Carpathia Ruthenia was from 1918-1948 part od Czechoslovakia but at 1948 the SSSR conquer the Carpathia Ruthenia. SOU yes je Born i Ukraine but was Slovakia.

@@lukasvybihal4643 ,,greates player of ukraine,, cant be a player that played for Slovakia ....

@Lukáš Hurta i know that. But since Bondra was born in 68, he was born in Ukraine...and the video clearly states that he counts being born in a country as to where they are from.

@@Dixo did you actually watch the video? He said that for the sake of the video, he will count the birthplace as for where the player is from. And since Bondra was born in 68’ in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic he is the best player ever to come from the country.

Agreed. Patrick Kane has also won a lot more individual hardware than Modano, including the 2 most prestigious individual awards in hockey: The Hart & Conn Smythe

LaFontaine would have been the best American player if his career didn't end early

@@father042 It would have been close between him and Kane. But you're right, LaFontaine was a stud who never gets the love he deserves in these debates. His career overlapped with the primes of Wayne and Mario and was therefore overshadowed.

@@keving4408 He helped Mogilny score 76 goals

@@father042 Hard to argue that when his injuries were hockey related. He got hurt by failing to avoid some big hits and retired early because of it. Had he played smarter, he would have had a longer career.

You claim to be a Red Wings fan and do not mention Fedorov from Russia? :P

@@YzzSC or Igor Larionov. But in all seriousness, it can only be Ovi. It wasn't that long ago, people were saying noone would ever break any of Gretzky's career offense stats. Yet here we are watching Ovi as he gets closer and closer! And I hope he does it!

Along with Pavol Demitra and Brad McCrimmon, two other great former NHLers. Terrible tragedy

I actually did not know he was on of the people that passed away on that flight, thanks for bringing this to my attention

Josef Vasicek as well 2011 was a terrible year

This is a good point 😅

Heatley isnt actually German anyways

Nah ovi is already greater than Federov I don’t see an argument there lol

@@ben_cross21 Playing Devil’s advocate here: I think you can make the argument solely based on all-around ability. Fedorov was a solid defensive player, and Scotty Bowman even said he’d probably win couple of Norris Trophies if he started him at the blue line every game. Ovi has the stigma of just offensive talent. Please don’t misinterpret anything here because I am a huge fan of both players haha

​@@jackson2083but now are we not talking about ability or skills or what could have. Ovechkin is a bigger star and has have a greater career than Fedorov, period

i think he should have been mentioned too, but jagr was the clear choice cmon

It harder at the very high end to compare but I would go Hasek no one could shut down like him

Greatest goaltender of all-time, Tretiak, is from Russia not Czechia.

Kaspar was a dominant figure... but alot of his hits were dirty even under the rules of his time... lot of knee-to-knee business... which at that time was considered the dirtiest thing you could do to a guy

How about Stan Mikita?

It makes no sense...

is still made of up mostley white players I say this As an American

Diverse doesn't mean "having just a couple players from outside North America". For instance, if a company with 30 people employs one Asian guy and 2 women, I wouldn't call them "properly" diverse, I'd call them "filling a quota otherwise you'd pay a fine" diverse. Same in the NHL, 40 years ago, less than 6% of the players were not from North America. It's up to 30-odd % today. That's diversity.

@@TheHeston83 and basketball is mostly black people. So what?

@@edgymcedgelord5297 My point is it could be better Why Im rooting Quinton Byfield The poster doesnt understand DIVERSITY IS STRENGTH

@@MrLT3685 105

I still think Lindstrom takes it but Forsberg was absolute beast.

Career greatness lidas. Peak performance foppa

definitely a grossly under- rated player

Was a treat to watch Lindstrom play.

He litteraly said at the beginning that this is based just on where the guy was born not who did he represent eg. Heatley, Georgiev...

@@michalsemko5572 i did not say he is wrong

Thanks man! Obrigado

Hi, I´m from Brazil too. I didn´t know about this Robin Regehr

Vc é fan do Chicago Blackhawks?

@@matheusfagundes1885 Com certeza! E você?

@@tiagomaia1365 tbm

@@hugo545 skoro mi sanka padla, a potom ked dal slovenko tak mi uz aj padla.

The Dominator should have beaten out 68.

Facts. Lemieux has the 2nd highest PPG of all time

Canada could have multiple lists lol

Same with Komarov, this bloke says he is Estonian but Estonia didnt exist when he was born. He is a Finn who was born in USSR

did u even listen to the disclaimer

Over Nabokov? Are you kidding me?

True but if u watched Nabokov played u would be very wrong

Malkin, Fedorov and Bure are/were better.

Tretiak is the greatest goaltender of all time. Even Ken Dryden would agree. If you would pick 1 goalie, it would be Tretiak. If you would pick a forward, would you pick Ovechkin, Datsyuk, or Malkin? To say nothing of players from previous generations? Ovechkin isnt even the clear #1 in his position.

@@humankirk9196 Ovechkin is the best goal-scorer in the history of the NHL. What the fuck are YOU talking about? Trets is def best Russian goalie. Dats is my personal favourite player of all time (not just Russian). But Ovi is the obvious and correct choice for this particular video.

@@subraxas ovi might break gretzkys goals recordx having played in the 2010s. He clearly deserves #1 russian

Where is Komarov ?

@@holoholopainen1627 He was born in Estonia, seen at the beginning of the video

@@geesa87 Thanks ! I missed - That part of Video ! But Do You know the BEST - PLAYER - whose ROOTS are in Estonia !

@@holoholopainen1627 born In ssr parents are russian. Nationality: finnish, russia. Not estonia. He dont even speak estonian

He's my favorite player of all time

Exactly. His father was Slovak, he just moved to Ukraine where he met his wife, who was actually Polish. Peter was three years old when they moved back to Slovakia. He grew up and learned to play hockey in Slovakia. He had Ukrainian nationality just because his parents didn't want him to undergo 2-year mandatory military training. He chagned his nationality to Slovak in 1993. He reprezented Slovakia and shot the game winning g oal in world championship final against Russia in 2002, when Slovakia became world champions. Peter Bondra is Slovak and I wouldn't consider him Ukrainian in any way.

@@adamtoth180 did you fucking watch the video he litteraly said its based just on where the guy was born everyone else got it. Nobody complaining about heatley being German or something like that

You all are forgetting Peter Stastny.

There was more than one of such a case.. but he said it at the beginning, it is not who you represent but where you have been born. Peter Bondra could be as well the best player for Slovakia.

Though Stan Mikita was born in Slovakia, at a young age, he was sent to St. Catherines, Ontario to live with his aunt and uncle so as not to live under the Communist regime. He was a product of the Canadian system. Peter Stastny is a product of the Czecheslovkian system;the Czech Republic and Slovakia were forcibly merged into a single entity.

Do something Danny Heatley related? You mean nothing Amirite?
