Drop the Puck!

I did baseball, basketball, and football.  So I might as well do a hockey team.  I'll go two deep.


First Team

Left Wing - Bobby Hull












Center - Wayne Gretzky












Right Wing - Gordie Howe












Defense - Bobby Orr












Defense - Doug Harvey












Goalie - Patrick Roy 












Second Team

Left Wing - Ted Lindsay












Center - Mario Lemieux












Right Wing - Maurice Richard












Defense - Ray Bourque












Defense - Eddie Shore












Goalie - Terry Sawchuk












A bit disappointed to see the same few teams repeated so much.  I certainly didn't plan it this way.  Also - no Flyers.  Bobby Clarke (loaded position) and Bernie Parent (not dominant long enough) have the best cases probably.  Maybe Eric Lindros.                

Chris did a series of all-time teams for each franchise.  It's quite informative.

  1. I see your roster skews toward the classics. I'd have Ovechkin, Lidstrom, and Brodeur in there somewhere.

    Thanks for plugging my post!

    1. Yeah, gotta have Brodeur. The GOAT of goalies.

    2. I thought about Brodeur, Plante, and Dryden. Goalie was tough.

      Shore's an old-timer, but I needed an enforcer. I feel like I settled with Lindsay, but left wing seemed really weak compared to center.

      It's safe to say you know more about hockey than I do. So my team isn't etched in stone.

    1. I keep the Arturs Irbe cards I get from packs. That's probably the nicest thing I can say about the Sharks.
