CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Both, but moreso Salming, yeah. I've got another d-man in mind, but he's a silver medal; and I'm still torn between him and the coach I had in mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Good pick. Re: that pic - Small world, eh? When my folks were married, she took on his name, and I was Brian Mullen for about four years. I'm gonna go with the d-man; I think my coach can remain under the radar. Members of the OHL's all-rookie and all-star teams, as well as the NHL's all-rookie team. Perennial all-star and Norris candidate, and has Olympic, World Cup, and World Championship gold. Jovocop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 3, 2008 Better get my coach pick out of the way. He's the only three time Jack Adams Trophy winner, and a Stanley Cup winner with the Devils. Pat Burns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted June 4, 2008 There are a few players whose careers beg the question: What would have happened without injuries. Three of the biggest names have already been selected: Orr, Neely & Forsberg. To that list, I'd like to add Pat Lafontaine, newest center for the Northern Lights Five. Battled concussions & PCS for the latter half of his career, forcing him to hang up his skates at the age of 34. Still managed to score 40+ goals 7 times (including two with 50+), break 100 points two times, and average more than a point-per-game for his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Know how I was caught between Hawerchuk and some other guy? Borje Salming was the other guy. Was Hawerchuk the guy you thought I would take? Yeah, I figured you'd go "Oh, hey, 1400 points, why pass that up?". This next pick, though, isn't about scoring points, but about preventing them. A lot of great defensemen are already gone, but this one I feel has flown under the radar. Not a great pick, but a very good one.

TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Last remaining member of the 'Big 3' on the Canadians defense: Guy Lapointe, D - 4 time all-star - 1 time 1st team, 3 time 2nd team all-star - career +329 (21st all-time) - Hall of Famer; won 6 Stanley Cups - played for Canada in the Summit Series - all-around defined consistency Another leader to add to my team. He could score (622 pts in 884 games) but he more of a defensive stalwart and will make a great pairing with Chelios or I may split them up and draft a few more offensive minded defensemen.

the max 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Now I'm pulling out all the stops you motherfuckers. Too many of my sleepers have been taken, half my fucking sleeper list is gone. With my next pick, I select one of the greatest left-wingers ever. Sixteen 20 goal seasons with his career high of 51 coming at the age of 35. Retired as the highest scoring left-winger, to be surpassed by that fruit Luc Robataille. 1369 points came in over 1500 games, he's 21st all time in goals, 26th in assists. Hail to the fucking Chief. Johnny Bucyk. To add offense to my defensive minded team, the next pick totaled 1326 points over his 17 year career. He never won a Cup, never appeared in a Cup final and was never a first team all-star. But he played in a time where there were even better talents out there, leaving him to be overlooked and overshadowed. Still, one of the greatest finesse players ever: Gilbert Perrault.
