Your dream team NHL starting lineup

[99wgretzky99]

I appologize if this thread has already been done before.

What is your dream team, starting lineup. NHL past and present. Any era since the birth of the NHL. You can pick international players like Tretiak too.

Here's mine:

C - Wayne Gretzky
LW- Jean Beliveau
RW- Maurice Richard
D- Bobby Orr
D- Paul Coffey
G- Terry Sawchuk

Forwards:

Dave Keon

Doug Harvey

Goalie:

Tony Esposito

If you would have asked me this 20 years ago...

C - Joe Sakic
LW- Keith Tkachuk
RW- Peter Bondra
D- Bobby Orr
D- Al MacInnis
G- Felix Potvin

** after seeing a later post, Kariya (pre Suter cross check) would be on my list too

Too many combos, can't decide, so 1 and 1A lines. Pure passer with pure goal scorers. Power, size and finesse on 1A. So hard for goalie. Hasek, Tretiak, Dryden, Tony O, Hall, Plante, Sawchuk has to be all in the mix.

C: Gretzky
RW: Bossy
LW: Bobby Hull
D: Orr, Harvey
G: Brodeur

C: Lemieux
RW: Jagr
LW: Shanahan
D: Lidstrom, L. Robinson
G: Roy

 

[IrbeFan4Life]

Good thing dream team doesn't mean "best team", but here is mine:

C: Rod Brind'Amour
LW: Luc Robitaille
RW: Brett Hull
D: Bobby Orr, Ray Bourque
G: Arturs Irbe, with Levente Szuper in backup

That team could pack a punch with goals and wouldn't matter if Irbe was in net or not.

 

[stajan55]

Paul Kariya (Ducks Years)
Matt Stajan (Early Toronto Years)
Marian Gaborik (first couple of Wild seasons)

Alex Pietrangelo (OHL and Team Canada WJC)
Marc Staal (Sudbury Woves)

Curtis Joseph (2000's Toronto)
