BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Yeah, a twist from the other thread. You can pick any player from any era in his prime. Has to be from the NHL not, I don't want to see no Sergei Obscurerussiannameov or Alexei Whothehellisheov from Russia. Comprende? With that said, mine are... Bobby Hull - Gretzky - Howe Bossy - Lemieux - Richard Ovechkin - Fedorov - Bure Probert - Hunter - O'Reilly (Good luck against this line) Orr - Stevens (Try and hit Orr now, bastards) Bourque - Coffey Lidstrom - Macinnis (Lidstrom's playmaking ability on the PP with Macinnis's shot, good game) Harvey In net: Roy Sawchuk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I don't seem to see Yzerman on that list. Seems like you could fit him in on that 4th line over Hunter if you wanted to. Here's my top scoring line, top D line, and starting goalie.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 My all-time dream team: Mario Lemieux/Wayne Gretzky/Mike Bossy--Two of the greatest playmakers and scorers ever with the best natural sniper. Ted Lindsay/Steve Yzerman/Gordie Howe--Production line PLUS. Bobby Hull/Jean Beliveau/Maurice Richard--Gritty scoring wingers with the prototypical star center. Esa Tikkanen/Sergei Fedorov/Jari Kurri--Speed, grit, and top-level play at both ends of the ice. Bobby Orr/Doug Harvey--The two best NHL defensemen ever, together? Scary. Nick Lidstrom/Eddie Shore--I've always felt a physical stay-at-home guy would be the perfect complement to Nick. Shore is the standard for that kind of player. Ray Bourque/Larry Robinson--Two excellent all-around defensemen make up an amazing third pair. Terry Sawchuk--Simply the best NHL tender ever. Ken Dryden--It's hard to argue with the kind of success he had, even though his teams were loaded. Just imagine.... Power play units: Lemieux/Gretzky/Bossy/Orr/Yzerman Hull/Believeau/Howe/Bourque/Lidstrom Penalty killers: Fedorov/Yzerman/Lidstrom/Shore Tikkanen/Kurri/Orr/Harvey This team would be virtually unbeatable.

I felt bad now putting Yzerman in, but I had to flutter the other center line with Gretzky/Lemieux. The 4th line was a semi joke, but it would still be destructive.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Jagr was quick 17 years ago, I thought we were picking players in their prime. 17 years ago Jagr was in Czechoslovakia. [/font] In Jagr's best seasons in the mid 90s, he was not terribly fast either. Jagr is like Datsyuk--he has agility and is strong on his skates, but never had top end speed like a Fedorov, Bure, Modano, Kariya, or Mogilny, or someone like that.

Heroes of Hockeytown 694 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Niedermayer won fastest skater in '04. Pavel was in there, but he stumbled right at the get-go so he didn't get as good a time as he should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Niedermayer won fastest skater in '04. Pavel was in there, but he stumbled right at the get-go so he didn't get as good a time as he should. Pavel was in the competition, but finished last with a time just under 15 seconds. Even if you knock of a generous half second for the stumble, he's still at 14.342, which is not anywhere near top-end speed...Fedorov's best time is 13.51, and Niedermayer's is 13.56 (he won in 2004 with 13.783. The only time I can recall Jagr participating in the fastest skater competition, mid to late 90s I believe, he clocked a miserable 15.5. With no stumble like Datsyuk, or clock mishandling like Ovechkin this year. Jagr simply never had top end speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
