OneMoreLastCast Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The "Favorite Player" poll got me to wondering what everyone's "All Time Dream Team" would look like. Comment and criticize all you want, but remember these are just opinions. 1. Players from any league in history, (Russian Players, etc. before they played in the NHL). 2. Players named by position they played and cannot be put in a different position. (ie-Bobby Orr Playing the wing with Gretzky not allowed). 3. 6 forwards, 4 Defencemen, 2 goalies.....and 1 enforcer. 4. 1 Head coach, 1 Assistant/Associate Coach and a General Manager. 5. Might be a good idea to mention which Rule book the team will play under. (ie-Dave Schultz might not be a good pick under todays rules for your enforcer, but would be great under 1972's....) My Dream Team - Today's Rules 1st Line: Right Wing - Pavel Bure @ 27 years old Center - Wayne Gretzky @ 20 Years old Left Wing - Alexander Ovechkin @ 25 Years old Left Defense - Lidstrom @ 32 Years old Right Defense - Bobby Orr 2nd Line: Right Wing - Gordie Howe @ 25 Center - Sidney Crosby @ 25 Left Wing - Luc Robitaille @ 27 Left Defense - Doug Harvey @ 27 Right Defense - Scott Neidermeyer Last year. Enforcer: George Laraque Starting Goalie: Martin Brodeur - Last year Back up Goalie: Terry Sawchuk Head Coach: Roger Neilson Associate Coach: Scotty Bowman General Mngr: Glen Sather I went with speed and history to build my team. Some were chosen for personal fondness for the player and others were chosen simply for their statistics or out of respect for their accomplishments. Have fun picking mine apart and choosing your team. If only we could see these players play together.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 My dream team: Center: Bill Russell Many would argue for Wilt Chamberlain, but you have to look at number of championships. 11 Championships. No one else is even close Power Forward:Tim Duncan Boring, but a stud. Small Forward: Larry Bird I think there were certainly more athletic (Dominique, Dr. J, etc.) but this team needs a pure shooter. Who better than Basketball Jesus? 2 Guard: Duh. I wanna be like Mike Point Guard: I wanna say Magic, cuz I think he is the best ever. But since I am in Canada, I'll go with little Stevie Nash. He would average 20 assists a game with this team. Head Coach: Well, Red would be the easy choice here, but I'm gonna go with Phil Jackson because I think he is the only one to pull these ego's together. General Manager: Jerry West. Just because he could have been on the team as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
