OT: Team your birth year

[nsleaf]

1961 was a vintage year.

 

[garce]

Seeing 61 and 63 looking good I took a glance at mine 58,not so good. Something like
Higgins B. Smith Payne (line from Ottawa 67s)
PMcLean Makarov McKegney
Walter Poulin D. Sutter
Smyl Derlago Secord

Fetisov K Samuelsson
Marsh Giles
Queeneville Huber

Steve Weeks
Bob Froese

Fetisov would play 35 to 40 minutes a night, lots of depth forwards.
A whole lot of NHL coaches and /or gms due to age I guess.
I left Billy D in for sentimental reasons, arguably he belongs. Goaltending ugh.

 

[The Apologist]

No Jeff Finger?? where's your loyalty?

I am playing Skoula, isn't that enough?

 

[cupcrazyman]

My goalies are pretty awful

Recchi- Fleury-Bondra
Graves-Juneau-Carson
Brown-Turcotte-Fitzgerald
Garpenlov-C.Lapointe-Zelepukin
Ray

Wesley-Leetch
Numminen-Zalapski
Malakhov-Odelein
Quintal

Hackett-Cheveldae
Fitzpatrick

Jeff Finger should be setting up pins in a bowling alley.

 

[cupcrazyman]

1999 sadly will take 2 or 3 years before it can field a proper team.

you have to list every 18 year old in the league

very deep year outside of the goalies , still plenty of f/d that could have been on the list

 

[Halla]

I thought it could be a fun exercise trying to build the best team that you can based on players born the same year as you. Don't have to spend a long time putting a team together, it's just for fun.

Team 1985:
Ovie-Getzlaf-Perry
Eriksson-Bergeron-Horton
Ladd- Carter-Stafford
MacArthur-Stastny-Callahan
Mike Richards, Travis Zajac

Burns-Weber
Seabrook-Suter
Byfuglien-Green
Phanuef

Halak
Hutton

Also an 85, it was a very strong year for NHLers.

I'd maybe put in a lefty over Green just to balance it out a bit. ALso add Jay Beagle for faceoffs/PK prowess

Ovechkin-Getzlaf-Perry
Eriksson-Bergeron-Carter
Ladd- Stastny-Stafford
MacArthur-Beagle-Callahan
Richards/Horton

Suter-Weber (remember those ol buds?)
Burns - Byfuglien
Phaneuf - Seabrook
*Goligoski

Hutton
Halak

 

[Halla]

1988

Offence and goaltending kicks ass. Holy moly that defence......

Marchand-Toews-Kane
Pacioretty-Giroux-Simmonds
Lucic-Jo.Staal-Okposo
Hagelin-Anisimov-Perron

Alzner-E. Johnson
Bartkowski-Demers
Y.Weber-McBain

Bobrovski
Varlamov

yeah that team would get creamed lol. 0 of those dmen are top pairing and only 1 is a top 4.

 

[Halla]

86 has already been done, so I will do 1990, the year my brother was born.

Steven Stamkos-John Tavares-Anders Lee
Jordan Eberle-Nazem Kadri-Marcus Johansson
Adam Henrique-Tyler Johnson-Derek Stepan
Tomas Tatar-Jakob Silferberg-Jonathan Marchessault

Erik Karlsson-Victor Hedman
Alex Pietrangelo-John Carlson
Roman Josi-Matias Ekholm

Martin Jones
Jake Allen

Honourbale mentions on D:
Marco Scandella
Jake Gardiner
TJ Brodie

Something must have been in the water in 1990. What a solid crop of players.

you have 7 or 8 dmen better than the 1988 guy

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

I was going to do 91 but o well. Taken.

 

[Bluelines]

Team '69

Shanahan-Sakic-Turgeon
Federov-Mogliny-LeClair
Cassels-Khristich-Drake
Domi-Odgers-Matteau

Blake-Schneider
Desjardins-Svehla
Marchment-Richardson

Roloson
Snow

 

[al secord]

Jeff Finger should be setting up pins in a bowling alley.

With the contract we gave him, he owns the bowling alley.

 

[Marshy]

Team '69

Shanahan-Sakic-Turgeon
Federov-Mogliny-LeClair
Cassels-Khristich-Drake
Domi-Odgers-Matteau

Blake-Schneider
Desjardins-Svehla
Marchment-Richardson

Roloson
Snow

Truculence!

Sakic
Fedorov
Turgeon
Cassels

Are your four centres. With that D I think you beat my 1970 team but it'd be close! ;-)


Edit: Insert Rob Zamuner for your PK/energy line...lose Odgers

 

[Loosie]

Good thing you're team doesn't even need a goalie, because you pretty much don't have one. Gretz, Messier, Savard, Larmer, and Coffey? Insane.

Nothing wrong with Hrudey...

 

[7even]

Team '69

Shanahan-Sakic-Turgeon
Federov-Mogliny-LeClair
Cassels-Khristich-Drake
Domi-Odgers-Matteau

Blake-Schneider
Desjardins-Svehla
Marchment-Richardson

Roloson
Snow

JEFF ODGERS. There's a name I haven't heard in awhile. Met him around the rink when he was with the Thrashers. Played with his son for a few years. He would get stuff signed for us and help out with practices here and there. Super guy, like a lot of those tough guys were.

[Chief keefe]

1982 (holy ERGH....)

Gaborik - Plekanec - Pominville
Cammalleri - Boyes - Hartnell
Vermette - Umberger - Penner
Frolov - Stoll - Clowe

Hamhuis - Ehrhoff
Andy Greene - Z. Mikalek
N. Schultz - Ballard

Lundqvist - Rinne

(I think the goaltending would be the only thing worthwhile on THIS team... Maybe a bit of offense...)

But maybe you ice that team on the Mcdcvid draft year? You'll definitely get him. That D.... oh man

Solid team, no ‘61 ‘65 or 87 for receny bias, but this group would of been cup contenders from about 2007-2013ish with guys properly slotted and pretty decent depth.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Nobody born in '91?
