Canada can have like 5 teams. Impossible to fit everyone into one.

The question is my team on the poll

 

[Orange Dragon]

Peak Hašek alone can steal at least two.

fine, but its kinda hard to know guys like Eddie Shore, Harvey, or Howe would do against modern players.

Everyone is in their prime from their own era.

ok, so Eddie Shore would be jsut as useless as a pylon against modern players.... youre talking almost 100 year gap

even Harvey couldnt keep up with today's speed, and I would argue that Orr would need a lot of time and conditioning to adapt

unless youre saying imagine Orr having grown up in today's game

You're overthinking this bud.

 

[amnesiac]

You're overthinking this bud.

its one thing to ask who was the greater player from completely different generations, but to ask who would win in a game consisting of players from the far past and modern players... whats the point?

When i watch the canada cup 87 final, i not see how the speeds and intencity in those games were much less than in modern time

yeah that dude is scary . legit j.s. giguere playoff mode, almost all the time

I completely disagree. I watched a game from the 92 Cup Finals last week, and it was pretty evident to me.

You don't need to think about details like equipment. Just imagine the players in question were all in the same context. Like they grew up in the same eras.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

The big 4 are on the same team, this would be ugly. The only way it would be fair is to get them out. I suppose peak Hasek can steal a game but that's about it.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

overthinking.

Lidstrom +Chara + Hasek could keep it to 2 goals. Then you just need a few lucky bounces. 2 games.

 

[Lebowski]

With that amount of talent it can really go either way.

 

[North Cole]

overthinking.

Lidstrom +Chara + Hasek could keep it to 2 goals. Then you just need a few lucky bounces. 2 games.

Sure, as long as their team doesn't take more than 2 penalties.

Goaltending is borderline irrelevant if these two teams played each other in an actual NHL game and not a slowed down all star game. The power play unit of Gretzky, Lindros, Lemieux, Orr, and Bourque would be good for like 50+%. 3 of the four greatest players of all time on the same PP unit, and the four greatest players ever (by a significant margin) on the same team...

Niether team is keeping the other to under 2 goals.

Lidstrom+Chara would most likely be on the ice against the Gretzky line (maybe Orr+Bourque too). Gretzky will make them look stupid every shift, but if by some miracle he doesn't then Howe and Lindros would just run them over (Chara is a tough guy but nothing compared to those 2). They aren't stopping anything, it's going to be all up to Hasek.

Also, at least 1 of the 4 best players ever will always be on the ice. There's no way they score less than 2 goals.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Hasek could steal this series. Not that many good defensive players on Canada's roster.

Chara would def beat Lindros in a fight. Idk Howe enough but im guessing he'd beat him too.

 

[Incognito]

Even peak Hasek isn't nearly enough to stop a team with all four of Gretzky, Lemieux, Howe and Orr on it.
