NHL Offseason: All 10 weeks of it

[mrboo123]

I play that game. It is fun. But I play the orginal, free-ware version: http://ehm.fhockey.com/EHM%20game.php

while you only can be the gm of a NHL team, still tons of fun (a bit outdated, but you can update the roster and staff and such)

I really do love the value with Phaneuf there. Crazy salary.

It's awesome because he's making ~$785K/yr and he's way better than Kubina/Gil/Kaberle/McCabe who are making many many times higher.

Only Asher would compare a rookie's salary to veteran free agents, who happen to be among the top d-men in the league.

Kubina/Gil/Kaberle/McCabe? I only see 1, MAYBE 2 top D men there.

Greatest skaters in the NHL, retired.

[Ninot]

Then you forgot Cournoyer.

[notyoueither]

Good one.

I suggested people substitute their own names and say why. I also left it at 24 names, and not 25.

[Ninot]

Well I can't add too much, I can only claim to have seen 1 1950's Habs match, and a handful of 1970's matches, but I knew you were missing the Roadrunner, who I'd rank pretty high on that list.

[notyoueither]

That list is alphabetical (mostly). You're supposed to rank them.

It was meant as fodder for argument over a short summer.

Next time I'll put Beliveau at the bottom just to get things kicked off.

[notyoueither]

Oh, and you're an older fart than I, assuming you were in the crowd for a Habs game in the '50s.

[Ninot]

hahahaha, no. I saw a rerun of it during the 95 strike.

[notyoueither]

Damn. I was hoping there was an older fart than I in these hockey threads.

[notyoueither]

Top ten is easy for me.

Wayne Gretsky
Maurice Richard
Jean Beliveau
Mark Messier
Gordie Howe
Bobby Orr
Mario Lemieux
Bobby Hull
Steve Yzerman
Phil Esposito

After that it gets harder.

[notyoueither]

11 to 25 are hard.

Bryan Trottier
Guy Lafleur
Paul Coffey
Raymond Bourque
Stan Mikita
Darryl Sittler
Marcel Dionne
