Why Larry Robinson ranks #28 in Ice Hockey
Larry Robinson ranks 28th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 380th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 86, Longevity 92, Honours 88, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1972–1992 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1977, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 6, norris trophies 2, conn smythe trophies 1, nhl points 958.
Immediately ahead sits Phil Esposito on 88.1, a gap of 1.8 points. Directly behind is Paul Coffey on 86.8. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
