    Default NHL History Draft - Finals

    We did an NHL History Draft where any player from any league all-time could be drafted.

    Please Vote for which team you think is the best.

    Semi Final #2


    Zorro vs DusterDave

    Teams listed below in thread


    - - - Updated - - -

    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.

    Zorro's squad:

    Line 1: Pavel Bure -- Connor McDavid -- Pavel Datsyuk
    Line 2: Daniel Sedin -- Peter Forsberg -- Henrik Sedin
    Line 3: Nikita Kucherov -- Mats Sundin -- David Pastrnak
    Line 4: Guy Carboneau -- Rod Brind'Amour -- Cam Neely

    DP1: Bobby Orr -- Raymond Bourque
    DP2: Scott Niedermayer -- Chris Pronger
    DP3: Rod Langway -- Seth Jones

    Starting goalie: Carey Price
    Backup goalie: Bernie Parent

    Bench: Anze Kopitar, Blake Wheeler, Dit Clapper and Tim Thomas

    >>The top 4 D on this team is pretty much unbeatable!! The 3rd D unit may not have to play much but can you say "shutdown unit"..
    >>McDavid with Bure is a dream come true, and Datsyuk is just icing on the cake on that first line..
    >>Forsberg with the Sedins is a puck possession machine, who will score alot..
    >>Sundin between Kucherov and Pastrnak, goals, goals, and more goals..
    >>The 4th line on this team can score yes, but they will hammer you down low and pin you deep every shift..
    >>Could you imagine this squad playing in front of Carey Price??

    I asked Denis Lemieux, from Slap Shot, what he thought of my team and he said: "Icing happen when the puck come down, bang, you know, before the other guys." Pretty much sums it up.. Thanks Denis!!

    No sorry, you are the loser of the finals. That does not necessarily equate to 2nd place haha.

    if we wanted to find 2nd place and so forth we would have had to have a double loss elimination style bracket.
