taxi squad: Sawchuk, Delvecchio, Osgood, Lidstrom

I am not against you and not emotionally acting about the season performance but Osgood is taxi squad? Not really. Mount Rushmore is the president sculpture so it should be the symbol of the Wings; I doubt Osgood will remain the face and symbol of this team forever.

I will go with

Steve Yzerman

Gordie Howe

Mike Illitch

Nicklas Lidstrom

taxi squad: Delvecchio, Sawchuk, Larry Murphy, Sergei Fedorov, Ted Lindsay, Scotty Bowman

Funny squad: Ken Daniels

darn i thought this was gonna be a photoshopped pic..oh well

I'll photoshop one and have it up as soon as I have internet access agan :)

Edit:

I liked the explanation for this one, so i used it.

I agree with it, but gata find a way to squeeze Illitch in.

It's just a quick shop job, wanted to get it done before I lose connection.

Bowman - The modern team's George Washington, the general who taught them how to win.

Yzerman - The definition of loyalty, dedication, and self-sacrifice all Lincoln-esque traits.

Holland - Like Jefferson on the actual monument, the mastermind behind the success of the others.

Howe - The league standard for a long time, and like TR, a " Rough Rider".

I would go for these.

hey man! where is Lang is lazy and he sucks ???

and let's not forget Lilja. he's been better recently but let's not give him free ride here ;)

honorable mentions: Uwe Krupp and Ken "Regret" Wregget ;)

Beat me to the Krupp mention. I'll settle for Jiri Slegr. Or you could do an all LGW-hate one with Lang, Samuelsson, Jason Williams and Curtis Joseph or something like that. Lilja's probably worked his way off of it with his cult following (myself included) and strong play this year.

It's pretty cool how we can throw up a player Mount Rushmore with some of the best players ever AND a builder Mount Rushmore with some of the best builders ever. Montreal's probably the only other team that can throw up 4 and 4 on our level.

Nice!

My 4 would be for s**ts and giggles that seem to drive people way off the deep end on here. I'm sticking with current Wings.

Kopecky

Osgood

Samuelsson

Karen Newman

Frankly, I think Karen Newman would be better immortalized by having a pair of mountains named after her. You could build thenm in Detroit - they don't have to be real mountains, plastic would be fine, they just have to look convincing.

Hmmm have Mount Wingsmore overlooking Mount Karen. I guess they'd all have to be smiling.

credit where credit's due, man!

Absolutely. This one is perfect...the first real icon of the team, the most recognizable (to most of the posters here) icon, and the two people who make it happen.
