I think that is the greatest hockey team ever put together.

Can you post the players who played for that team? I would like to know, since I was born the year after thatjcs_1983_shannonman said:As for real team, then I would say Team Canada at the 1987 Canada Cup.

In 72 they were missing Orr and Hull two of the biggest stars in the game.
In 87 you had the Gretzky, Lemieux, Messier, Bourque, and Coffey in the prime of their careers.

Also it's very hard to compare russian players to canadian because they played in such different surroundings.
I've heard some people say that Khalarmov's (the guy who's ankle clarke broke) skating ability, scoring instincts, etc exceeded even gretzky's.......and in terms of passing instinct and peripheral visions some people have said larionov had gretzky topped.
I couldn't honestly say..........
In the same vein it's very hard to compare Tretiak to roy, sawchuk, etc
Now we are talking hockey players...jcs_1983_shannonman said:1970's line: Mikhalov - Petrov - Kharlamov
1980's line: Krutov - Larionov - Makarov
1990's line: Mogilny - Fedorov - Bure
2000's line: Kovalchuk - Firsov - Ovechkin

jcs_1983_shannonman said:I have heard that Kharlamov's ability exceeded everyone but Gretzky's and Lemieux's.
But yes, the Russians would be loaded if they made an all-time team.
I don't much abiout their goaltending other than Tretiak and the current NHLer's.
I don't know much about their defense either other than Fetisov, Kasatanov, and the current NHLer's.
But some of their forwards are legendary internationally.
You could form their forward lines based on their all-decade top lines:
1970's line: Mikhalov - Petrov - Kharlamov
1980's line: Krutov - Larionov - Makarov
1990's line: Mogilny - Fedorov - Bure
Then their next line would be merely speculative, with their big star from the 50's and 60's centering it:
2000's line: Kovalchuk - Firsov - Ovechkin
That is a lot of talent.
