Top 10 NHL Snipers: 2011 Edition

Mike — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 22:13:43 +0000

Before anyone gets mad at the list. This list is only for snipers. If the list was for top 10 players in the NHL, guys like Crosby, Datsyuk, Getzlaf, Iginla, etc.. would be ahead of most of these guys. But this is for snipers only.

Definition of a Sniper – Pure NHL goal scorer who consistently scores goals, preferably in top corners of the net. Snipers are guys who have a wide open net and still roof the puck, just because they can. Snipers, although not opposed to, rarely have dumpy rebound or tip goals. Snipers are pure goal scorers who consistently make goalies look bad by putting the puck in the smallest corners right under the crossbar.

I know some of these guys aren’t having their best seasons, but they are still the best snipers.

1. Steven Stamkos

2. Marian Gaborik

3. Alexander Semin

4. Alexander Ovechkin

5. Ilya Kovalchuk

6, Patrick Sharp

7. Daniel Sedin

8. Phil Kessel

9. Dany Heatley

10. Thomas Vanek

So Ilya Kovalchuk still scores once in a while…
