T.Low 1,011 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 My all-time Born In Michigan team: Mike York - Mike Modano - Brian Rolston Pat Peake - Doug Weight - Wayne Presley Ryan Kesler - Jimmy Carson - Mike Grier Kelly Miller - Kevin Miller - Kip Miller Dan Bylsma - David Legwand - Jim Cummins Kevin Hatcher - Al Iafrate Mark Howe - Brian Rafalski Derian Hatcher - Gordie Roberts Ken Morrow - Craig Wolanin Shawn Chambers - Adam Burt John Vanbiesbrouck Ryan Miller Tim Thomas Brent Johnson Note-- this only includes Michigan-BORN players, therefore I've left off LaFontaine and Knuble and included Grier again. Wow, nice work. And a pretty impressive team. They would have to fare well against any other state. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doggy 130 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 Anson Carter is from Toronto, and that Bob Johnson isn't THE Bob Johnson. "Badger Bob" passed away years ago, and the Bob on the list is Brent's dad. Sorry, I didn't even look at the list - I tend to skip quickly through threads. Sometimes too quick. I thought both were Michigan natives for some reason. I knew Badger Bob was American and for some reason from Michigan. Don't ask me about Carter - don't know why I thought he was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joshy207 156 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 Seems like Legwand may be a little under rated on both of those rosters. Yeah, he probably is, at least on the "current" roster. He could be a second-liner there and Grier could drop down to 3rd line. On the all-time team, we haven't produced a defensive-minded or a tough-guy center to go between Bylsma and Cummins. Legwand kinda gets shafted there, but Carson was a 50-goal scorer and Weight and Modano are bona fide top-line centers, so... But Legwand still has plenty of career left to improve his overall standing. And the defense on the all-time team is better than any state or province except Ontario, and we could give them a run for their money! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
egroen 384 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 It would do really well against other "All-State" teams but would get killed by some "All-Province" teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 23, 2008 Doug Weight centering the 1st line - or centering any line for that matter - would be a disaster nowadays. And Mike York would be as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
