Brad McCrimmon - Jamie Macoun

Mikka Kiprusoff

There are probably better all star teams that can be put together. The Habs would be impressive. But in terms of a team that can grind out 16 wins in a playoff year, against pretty much anyone, this team has a prefect combination of grit/talent/drive to win.

It's kind of telling that the 1989 team is so well represented, and there are only two current Flames. IMO the 1989 squad was one of the best ever built, though.
