Make Starting Lineup Of Six Best Players Of Each Team's History

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Okay that is pathetic I'd goo for some players that were basically spent when they came here and insert Reinhart &Messier for Ohlund and Mogilny add a couple we shouldn't have let go in Neely and Dailey for Daniel and Lumme. People wonder here in YVR why we have had no kickass teams and the lack of EVER having a #1 D-man ( Reinhart was just a shell of his peak years by the time he got here still better than more than a handful of d-men that graced our city) Out of almost 400 draft picks that is pathetic

The game is to name the best players in a team's history, not the best players the team had who did all the great things in their careers in other cities.

CAPITALS

G: Olaf Kolzig
D: Rod Langway
D: Calle Johansson
F: Peter Bondra
F: Mike Ridley (probably Backstrom eventually)
F: Alex Ovechkin

Tough at C; i'd probably go with Oates tho.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I left out Red Kelly. He could easily go in over both D choices.

Kelly played centre for the Leafs.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

G - Johnny Bower
D - Borje Salming
D - Hap Day
F - Frank Mahovlich
F - Doug Gilmour (owe my youth interest in hockey to him)
F - Lanny McDonald

 

[Nasty_Magician]

[Bloody Brian Burke]

G: Not Sure

Probably Chris Terreri.

 

[SteelersPride]

G:Tom Barasso
D:Paul Coffey

Thats gotta be hard to top

Not even going to rick kehoe, kevin stevens, joe mullen, pierre larouche, ron francis, Ulf Samuelson, Mark Recchi

 

[Otis B. Driftwood]

This wasn't too hard for me. I didn't even consider former North Stars.

C - Mike Modano
LW - Jamie Benn
RW - Jere Lehtinen
D - Sergei Zubov
D - Derian Hatcher
G - Ed Belfour

 

[Canuck eh?]

G - Terry Sawchuck
D - Nic
D - see above (nobody else need apply)
LW - Ted Lindsay
C - Stevie Y
RW - Mr. Hockey

 

[dash]

G: Kipper (over Vernie, but it's close)
D: Al MacInnis (no-brainer)
D: Robyn Regehr (over Suter because I hated Suter after he left Calgary)
F: Jarome Iginla
F: Joe Nieuwendyk
F: Theo Fleury

HM: Lanny McDonald

 

[sbb122]

Using actual positions, not just 3 forwards...

G: Tom Barrasso
D: Paul Coffey
D: Dave Burrows
C: Mario Lemieux
LW: Kevin Stevens

And - after thinking it over - the only North Star I would even remotely consider is Bellows but all those Selke's give Lehtinen the edge for me.

[Otis B. Driftwood]

Stevens and Trottier Heckling Bellows (Long Version) - YouTube

And - no one ever said that about Jere.

[puckhead]

Probably Chris Terreri.

Pretty disrespectful to Chico

Dino cicarelli!

 

[Otis B. Driftwood]

Dino cicarelli!

Gotta admit... I forgot about Dino. I guess I'd still take Jere but I could easily understand the argument for Ciccarelli.

Tough at C; i'd probably go with Oates tho.

He just wasn't with us very long and in the latter stages of his career. I think of him as a Blue first (b/c of the Hull connection), a Bruin second, and a Capital third. I went with the guys I considered true "Capitals."

He was barely a Blue at all (195 games). He played more games in Washington than he did anywhere else.

Man, that's gotta be the scariest set of forwards. Probably 3 of the top 10 forwards of all-time. Little weak in the back though (woop woop woop).
