    Newfcollins' team:

    Ovechkin-Gretzky-Robitaille
    Hull-Oates-Esposito
    Iginla-Gilmour-Hossa
    Clark-Lach-Roberts

    Leetch-Cameron
    Karlsson-Gary Suter
    Markov-Doughty

    Lundqvist
    Durnan

    Bench: Fleury, Leclair, Conacher, Joseph (G)


    Multiple 60-goal scorers on the top two lines with set-up centres. A great shutdown third line that can score. A tough fourth line that can score. Every line with at least one 50-goal scorer, and 50-goal scorers on my bench. Some scoring threats on defense with players that can play defense. Excellent goaltending that can see Walmart a series.

    Although I'm debating switching out Lach for Fleury on that fourth line. That would be a pesky fourth line with Clark and Roberts.

    DUSTER DAVE’S HISTORIC HOCKEY CLUB


    Yzerman - Crosby - Kurri
    Kariya - Lindros - Dionne
    Tavares - Toews - Mogilny
    Marchand - Bergeron - Roenick


    Lidström - MacInnis
    Salming - Blake
    Josi - Letang


    Sawchuk
    Bower
    Broda


    Bench:
    Getzlaf
    McSorley
    Avery


    Line 1 - Hoped to recreate the Gretzky-Kurri pair with Crosby slotted in the Centre spot in place of The Great One. Yzerman on his opposite wing makes me as giddy as the prospect of hockey actually returning.


    Line 2 - Two magnificent players who’s careers were cut short. Lindros and Kariya should be viewed for what they have done and not the levels they didn’t reach due to injury. Add Dionne to that mix!


    Line 3 - A hell of an impact line. Toews is the ultimate “better real life player than fantasy”. Two dynamic scorers on his wing.


    Line 4 - Wanted my team to have the “greatest 4th line in hockey” tag among these 8 teams. Roenick replaces Pastrnak here as he was just out of my reach. Like Line 3, I hope Bergeron is viewed for his on ice play and not just his stats.


    1st D Pairing - Not much of an explanation needed. Lidström is arguably only 2nd to Bobby Orr for all-time best D-man and MacInnis’ slap shot speaks for itself, not to mention his penalty killing abilities.


    2nd D Pairing - A shut-down pair that’ll still put up monstrous points.


    3rd D Pairing - Good luck containing these two when they are on the ice together. A proven champion paired with one of the best active D-men in the world.


    All three D-pairings have a RHD playing on their proper side.


    Starting Goalie - Proven to be a crapshoot of a position in the last few years but Sawchuk has been ranked as high as 3rd all-time in some rankings.


    Bench:
    Ryan Getzlaf - Another proven champion waiting on the bench for a tap on his shoulder.


    Marty McSorley - One of the all-time greats in terms of toughness. Any team full of superstars needs a guy like Marty.


    Sean Avery - The ultimate pest. Would be in the starting lineup when/if we face Brodeur and LuigiC173. Great role guy to have on the bench regardless.

    6-5 apparent final: I saw this as even match with Lidström the difference. Gretzky/Ovechkin was best offensive pairing, but I thought Dave’s depth made up for that through 4 lines. Interested in feedback from smarter hockey people than me. haha

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    Stutzle, Sergachev
    Keller, Doughty, Verhaeghe, ErikssonEk
    E.Lindholm, Barzal, J.Gaudreau, Huberdeau, S. Wright

    I’m still disappointed I couldn’t use Sean Avery against Martin Brodeur.
