Anytime you make an "all-time" list of anything sports related, you better have thick skin as a writer. Comparing players from different generations remains an elusive endeavor and a daunting task.
How you handicap modern day changes such as nutrition, training, health care, and equipment technology? What about the infusion of world talent in the NHL game? How much weight is given to coaching styles and rule changes?
There is no correct answer for any of these questions, but the best one can do is evaluate how dominant certain players were in their era and slot them in the master list accordingly.
In this list we have the top 25 most dangerous scorers in playoff history. The criteria used for this list was pretty broad to allow the inclusion of a variety of different players. Some posed a threat with their dynamic physical ability. Others slipped in based on pure production. Moreover, a few made it in based on their hockey sense and uncanny ability to drive opponents crazy.
However, the one common thread that links them all is that opposing goalies always accounted for their whereabouts on the ice at all times. If they didn't, the paid the price.
Without further ado, I present the best of the best.
