Last night in Los Angeles, the NHL revealed the 67 remaining players in their top 100 of all-time list after releasing the first 33 on New Year’s Day; and of those 67, nine were on that Stanley Cup-winning 2001-02 Detroit Red Wings team.
That’s right: Chris Chelios, Pavel Datsyuk, Sergei Fedorov, Dominik Hasek, Brett Hull, Nicklas Lidstrom, Luc Robitaille, Brendan Shanahan, and Steve Yzerman.
Pavel Datsyuk is the only one not currently enshrined in the Hall of Fame, though everyone knows he will end up there some day.
The one Hall of Famer from that 2001-02 team who wasn’t represented on the top 100 list?
