[xeric716x]

Mario Lemieux, Pavel Bure, Brett Hull

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

Mario, Mike Bossy, Butch Goring. I'm not trying to be funny, Goring was a master at burying breakaways.

 

[Ofuzz]

You're right......

You weren't the only one who was thinking about Goring. I would go with Lemieux, Bure, and Goring......and if it went to the 4th and 5th shooters I would go with Dionne and Lafleur. (Also, Perreault had some pretty ridiculous moves one-on-one).

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Lemieux, Bossy, Rocket Richard.

 

[John Flyers Fan]

Lemieux, Bure, Bossy and Hasek.

I like the Morenz pick. I almost took him as my third after Rocket and Bobby Hull, but with the recent phenomenon of scoring on slapshots I had to go with Geoffrion.

[espo*]

if you had to win the shootout to save your life and could pick any 3 guys and you don't have Lemieux on your list you're crazy, get off on Russian roulette or suicidal.

no-one in their right mind picking 3 guys from anyone who has played to be on your shoot-out roster would'nt pick Lemieux. Your other 2 picks can be open to debate,Lemieux should be automatic on everyones list.

 

[KOVALEV10*]

Mario Lemieux, Pavel Bure, Brett Hull

On breakaways:

Lafleur - don't think I ever see not score.
Lemieux - Scary good
Sittler -
