I really interested to see the Lineup the Red Wings will bring out. My dream lineup for the game which I know wont be completey accurate.

1st Line-Hull,Yzerman,Shanahan
2nd line-Fedorov,Larionov, Kozlov
3rd line-Brown,Sheppard,Oates
4th line(Grind Line)-Maltby,Draper,McCarty
...
Defense
1st-Lidstrom(if retired) or Schneider, Murphy
2nd-Rafalski,Chelios
3rd-Coffey,Fetisov

Goalies
Osgood, Hasek,Cheveldae

coach
scotty bowman


I don't see Fedorov being apart of it know his relationship with the organization and his contract with the KHL. Same goes with Kozlov with his KHL contract. The rest seem like they could all play unless working for the NHL prevents Shanahan, and working for NHL teams pervents Bowman, Yzerman, and Oates

Thats such an amazing alumni lineup, they could probably win some games against actual teams with that team.

I think I'd be pretty surprised to see Oates don a sweater for the game. It'd be really great if Fischer could get even so much as a shift.

[RainingBlood]

when doing it I thought the same thing. Hull Shanahan and yzerman would be good for 40 goals combbined maybe more

[achildr1]

My realistic attempt...

Howe. Larionov. Hull
Verbeek. Lindsay. Ogrodnick.
Redmond. Brown. Ciccerreli
Klima. Burr. Kocur

Murphy. Ward
Fischer. Duschene
Dandenault. M.Howe

Vernon
Chevaldae?

Would like to see Fetisov and Kozlov.
Doubt the recently retired play. If one does it would probably be McCarty.

Haha looking forward to this one. Now that Drapes retired, I wonder if they can get the grindline back together for this event! Although I'm not too sure if Stevie Y would be part of it due to being a busy GM and all, it'd be awesome to have him be part of this as well!

I think the Tampa ownership will understand.

[acidroach420]

I think seeing the grind line is almost for sure. Howe and Redmond are also pretty much guarantees i think.

*edit* It would be funny to see cujo play one period for each team.

You can probably make 2 (or more) teams for each organization.

If they ask Sergei Fedorov to play then he could probably win the game for his team all by himself. Although because he's still in the KHL maybe he can't technically be an alum.

[Lovin Jiri Fischer]

Oh man if Shanny could score and they play the Jig...

[Buppy]

The grind liners (both Kocur and McCarty) almost have to be there, and Ozzie as well. Murph and Mickey seem obvious (maybe Paul Woods too). Howe, Fisch, Cheli, and probably a few from the alumni association. And I would sure hope the Captain can do it, wouldn't seem right without him. Shanny as well...

Mickey-Stevie-Shanny
Ogrodnick-Igor-Dino
Maltby-Draper-Mac
Burr-Brown-Kocur

Howe-Murph
Fisch-Cheli
Larson-Norwood

Ozzie
Mio

That would be awesome...

Has it been officially announced yet? Also, how many will tix go for the alum game?

the winter classic hasn't even been officially announced.

[Red Wings Addict]

Any big Wings historians on here willing to make an extensive list of who can play? Which is pretty much anyone who is alive and proud to wear the winged wheel, no matter how short the duration. I think VM1138? is a big Wings historian. I'd make one myself but someone borrowed my version of the book, "What it means to be a Red Wing." Btw, great book that probably every Wings fan should have.

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

I wish Probie was still with us. He and Domi could've went at it one last time at the Alumni game

[Ozzie30]

Oh man if Shanny could score and they play the Jig...

Didn't realize how much I missed him till I read your post!

No love for Norm Maracle, Phillipe Audet, or Stacy Roest?

Serious question. Would Shanny even be allowed to compete since he's working for the league? I would see absolutely no problem with it. But you never know if some exec on another team would cry favoritism.
