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

[Phantomphan]

Made Red Army leave the ice did he not?

My kind of guy.

Yes he did. In his words the Soviet player hit his (Van impe's) elbow with his jaw.

 

[Phantomphan]

Both pretty good, but neither great.


As for Lindbergh, I can't put him on any "great" list because his body of work is too small. Bernie Parent did too much much in Philly to be usurped by a one hit wonder.

Btw - the larger avatar pics make it much easier to see the car than in FN.

Also, Bernie Parent is the no-brainer for Flyers goalie, but it's just such a shame that Pelle Lindbergh died in that car accident, he was well on his way to being a fine goalie and quite possibly a Hall-of-Famer.

Same with Michel Briere, except the goalie part.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Bladon was good but not spectacular.

I am fully aware.

I just figured Rex might have liked him.

Can't say that I remember him to tell you the truth.

 

[BGDave]

Ugh you're not one of these fans that thinks Sundin was no good, are you?

Nope. Oversight on my part. #13 should have been there too

 

[MadCaptain]

Devils all Management team:

G: Ron Low (Head Coach Oilers, Rangers)
D: Slava Fetisov (GM Russia team, President Moscow)
D: Alexei Kasatonov (GM/President St. Petersburg)
F: Steve Tambellini (GM Oilers)
F: Mel Bridgman (GM Senators)
F: Joe Nieuwendyk (GM Stars)

They are setup to be one of the all-time worst GM lineups.

I'll get around to toying with that stuff................eventually.

G: Not Sure
D: Stevens
D: Niedermayer
LW: Elias
C: Muller
RW: MacLean?

How about Don Cherry's fave keeper
G Hardy Aastrom

 

[Swamp Dragon]

Off the top of my head I'd say he's probably better than Anaheim, Arizona, Calgary, Carolina, Columbus, probably Florida, Minnesota, Nashville, San Jose, St. Louis, Tampa, Washington, Winnipeg. That puts him closer to the middle than the bottom.

Calgary Kipper
Florida Beezer/ Luongo
Nashville Rinne
St Louis Cujo/Liut
Wash. Kolzig
I'd take any over Barasso I'd take Meloche as a Pen over Barasso

As I mentioned before Cujo played what, 5 seasons or so as a Blue? Liut's got about the same tenure. Rinne's got 6 as a Pred I think. Vanbiesbrouck same problem. A value calculation has to factor in quantity as well as quality.

 

[Judge Fudge]

G: Kirk McLean
D: Doug Lidser
D: Matthis Ohlund
F: Daniel Sedin
F: Trevor Linden
F: Pavel Bure

 

[beantownmaniac]

Best D-man in Flyer history is Ed Van Impe

Andre Dupont?

 

[BGDave]

Kinda surprised I have not seen a Boston lineup yet.

Is that because they are having trouble filling out 6 names???

I present Exhibits A, B, and C

Bruins;

Defense: Mr.Orr

Defense: Ray Bourque

Forward: Phil Esposito

Forward: Cam Neely

Forward: man this is a tough one. I'll get back to you.

This IS the Bruins all time team:

G: Tiny Thompson
D: Bobby Orr
D: Ray Bourque
RW: Cam Neely
C: Phil Esposito
LW: Johnny Bucyk

Maybe not.

Now that I'm home and have had a moment to reflect (OK, I had to check some shit out on the interweb, so sue me) I will go with;

Goalie; Frank Brimsek

Defense: Mr. Orr

Defense; Ray Bourque

Forward; Phil Esposito

Forward; Cam Neely

Forward; Milt Schmidt

I know that Milt and Espo were both centerman and John Bucyk is a legend and a left winger that would round out the forward trio nicely, but Miltie was a left hand shot who could have played the wing and he was a freakin superstar while Bucyk was damn good forever. Tough call, but that's my list.

I posted mine a few pages back. Picking a team of 6 guys was too easy with plenty of guys to spare.

G - Frank Brimsek

D- Orr

D-Bourque

F- Esposito

F- Neely

F- Schmidt

 

[Rex Racer]

I present Exhibits A, B, and C

I guess I should have taken a minute to read further down the list

 

[Rex Racer]

I'm not sure how a Devil' fan cannot go with Brodeur in net.

 

[HUBSTER]

Goalie: Frank Brimsek

Defense: Mr. Orr

Defense: Ray Bourque

Center: Phil Esposito

Forward: Cam Neely

Forward: Johnny Bucyk

Power play specialist, your kind of guy.

I said 5 goals in one game, but I checked and it was only 4 and 4 assists in one game.
