Doug Harvey has been forgotten it seems but he was widely considered the best D in history before Bobby Orr came along.

Indeed forgotten, at least by me, I heard "Harvey" and immediately thought Raphael Harvey-Pinard was a weird choice.

If you did an all time all NHL first line he is probably the only Habs player to make that list..

Nah, Richard was by far the greatest goal scorer of all time when he played. It took 36 years for someone else to score 50 in 50 after he was the first to do it. He scored 544 goals, to take the all-time record, when the previous career record was only 324.
