Raleh, no Elmer Lach?

haha, I left Dickie Moore out too. I replaced them with Koivu and Carbo so I still have the habs glasses on. I felt as if I needed to include some of my favorite guys that I've actually seen live.

GBC, when you have that top five man unit out there it might look like the all star game with five guys all inside the hashmarks!

On the other hand, imagine having Horton and Stevens on the ice at the same time! Ouch!

I did mine quick so I'm probably forgetting some people so I might need to edit it but there's mine.

I will give it a try although this changes from time to time when listing this many people

Gillies-Unger-Secord
Twist-Dale Hunter-Probert

Orr-MacInnis
Stevens-D.Wilson
Gasoff-Behn Wilson

Fuhr
Liut

Coach-Don Cherry

 

[GB]

Can't believe I forgot Garry Unger. He'd have to be there, probably as my 4th line centre.

 

[shawnmullin]

Oh this is a fun idea, of course for me it ends up being very modern due to my age (26) and my favourite team (Edmonton).

Mark Messier - Wayne Gretzky - Jari Kurri (how can I not?)
Ryan Smyth - Doug Weight - Ales Hemsky (modern Oiler magic)
Petr Klima - Steve Yzerman - Daniel Alfredsson
Esa Tikkanen - Craig MacTavish - Claude Lemieux

Brian Leetch - Denis Potvin
Wade Redden - Jason Smith

Curtis Joseph
Mike Liut

Coach: Glen Sather
Asst: John Muckler
Asst: Jacques Martin

Captain: Mark Messier
Alternate Captain: Steve Yzerman
Alternate Captain: Kevin Lowe

 

[Roger's Pancreas*]

Good idea for the thread. Looking at each person's line-up gives you an idea of just about when they started following the sport.

John LeClair - Eric Lindros - Mikael Renberg
Rick MaCleish - Bobby Clarke - Tim Kerr
Sami Kapanen - Keith Primeau - Rick Tocchet
Rod Brind'amour - Michal Handzus - Cam Neely

Mark Howe - Ed Van Impe
Eric Desjardins - Derian Hatcher (from back when he was in Dallas)
Jason Smith - Dan McGillis

Some of the defensemen are on their offwing, simply because I had a hard enough time as it was to choose my favorite defensemen.

My list is probably the most modern in the thread, I wasn't really old enough to understand hockey until the mid 90's.

 

[Frightened Inmate #2]

Like most hear I will only put down players who I have watched

Geoff Courtnall - Cliff Ronning - Trevor Linden
Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Greg Adams
Matt Cooke - Andrew Cassels - Geoff Sanderson
Jarkko Ruutu - Brendan Morrison - Esa Tikkanen
Pavel Bure*

*hate him now but I loved him when I was growing up

Ed Jovanovski - Jyrki Lumme
Bryan Allen - Ray Bourque
Scott Stevens - Paul Coffey

Kirk McLean
Roberto Luongo
Bob Essensa/Arturs Irbe


It is odd that it has been almost a decade and I still miss Irbe though, he was so damn good for such a horrible team.

 

[MXD]

Starting from 1984 -- started to listen to hockey very young.

Cam Neely - Wayne Gretzky - Mike Bossy
Peter Stasny - Mario Lemieux - Brett Hull
Mats Naslund - Doug Gilmour - Pat Lafontaine
Bob Gainey - Guy Carbonneau - Chris Nilan (someone needs to kills penalties and take enforcer duties, right?!?!)
Spare : Joe Mullen, Joel Otto

Denis Potvin - Paul Coffey
Chris Chelios - Larry Robinson
Scott Stevens - Rod Langway
Spare : Larry Murphy
