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

[BGDave]

I present Exhibits A, B, and C

Sabres:
G-Hasek
D-Mike Ramsey
D-Bill Hajt
F-Perreault
F-Martin
F-Robert

Hono(u)rable mentions:
D-Phil Housley - I went with Ramsey and Hajt because they spent more of their careers in Buffalo
F-Pat LaFontaine, Danny Gare, Alexander Mogilny - All could have made the list, but hard to vote against the entire French Connection being there since this is a starting lineup and not just the best players in your team's history.

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

Lol. (insert joke about Leafs' fans and reading)

 

[Vadered]

Poor Chara's been a goddamn terror on ice for the Bruins for almost ten years and he still can't make the cut.

Justifiably so considering the folks above him, but still.

 

[Abe Vigoda]

G: Richter
D: Leetch
D: Greshner
LW: Graves (Vic Hadfield probably better but didnt get to see him play)
C: Ratelle
RW:Gilbert

 

[Abe Vigoda]

Pronger????? Has Philly ever had a great defenseman?

Joe or Jim Watson?

No love for Barry Beck?

Yeah, Orr, Bourque, and Chara. You'd have not only one of the most sound tandems on D, but probably the most explosive pair on offense as well. Sick.

 

[elocomotive]

Do we have every team yet?

It would be fun to have a tournament with the best rosters of all-time and put together a little tourney where we can vote on the winners and see who comes out on top.

Crush you with a big hit Barry.

Now you are just baiting me

Have any Habitants fans weighed in?

Orr and Bourque were drafted by the B's. Chara was signed as a FA.

The French Connection were awesome. And a true line, the likes of which you just dont see anymore. Not 3 man units anyways.

Almost as good as Thompson-Sittler-MacDonald

Brad Park?

Scarborough's finest. Love that guy, he's loads of fun to talk to.

Now that I think of it that's an interesting question, is there another city that's the hometown of two Hall of Fame defensemen (Scarborough has Park and Larry Murphy)? I'm not talking bullshit neighbouring suburbs or anything like that (given that Scarborough was a suburb of Toronto in the first place) but guys actually within the proper borders.

 

[Phantomphan]

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.

You were probably thinking of the 5 goals Reggie Leach scored against Boston in May 1976.

Yeah, that's just how the game is played these days though. Oddly enough, most coaches would be criticized now for creating a consistent 3 man unit like that these days. Unless they were winning every single year, the coach would get the Bylsma label of not knowing how to adjust.

Any all time Rangers list that doesn't include Messier or Giacomin

I liked James Patrick better.
