| Parenthesized the team the defenceman scored the most points for in the decade. Also try http://www.sporcle.com/games/MapleLeaf/nhl_goalies_decade and http://www.sporcle.com/games/Lauro/nhl_scorer_decade. Enjoy! |

| Red Kelly was really only a defenseman for part of his career, so his inclusion is debatable. Only quibble about a fun quiz. |

| @cloycebox: That may be true; but according to Hockey-Reference.com, these are the exact players that you will find under this criteria. Don't shoot the messenger, it's fact. :) |

| the teams are definitely misleading -- are they the team they played on the most during that time? Gonchar is a Penguin now, Pronger has been on many different teams, Murphy as well... |

| Oh yeah, Phil Housley. You wouldn't believe how much time I spent trying to spell Teppo Numminen. |

| There's a pretty massive difference between top defensemen and top-scoring defensemen |

| BTW: Red Kelly didn't play defense for the Leafs, he was converted to centre as soon as he came over from Detroit. |

| I agree with adijoseph. Scoring points is the secondary job for defensemen, and these people might be best at it, but that doesn't make them the best defensemen. There's at least a few hall-of-famers that belong on a "best" list that weren't amazing scorers. Great quiz though |

| I love that this quiz displays the accents in the European names. |

| Bah Rafalski... I tried every imaginable way to spell neidermayer. |

| Really challenging... I was happy with my score but I had almost as much trouble with the more recent ones (80s etc) as I did with the earliest. |

| Northcott was a winger, Mantha was a winger, and Kelly played center in the 60s. |

| Didn't know the history good enough when I created the quiz and hockey reference had wrong data then. Informed the sporcle staff some time ago with the "Report a Mistake"-button, because you cannot edit a published quiz. |
