The Beantown Bruins are proud to select as our first line LW, Brendan Shanahan



What can be said about this guy, he can score, he can pass, he can hit. He has awards to prove that he is a great player and he is a great leader both on and off the ice.

I agree. I picked him earlier than most people would have.

I'm making a team, though. Like I'm not just drafting awards and stats, I'm actually filling roles and creating lines.

Kinda like how in the Hottie Draft, I didn't allow myself to pick any Americans... And in the Album draft, I'm only picking albums I currently own on a bought-and-paid-for CD... etc etc.

[Tiger]

I'll pick Mike Gartner for right wing because Super stole my Shanahan pick

Dang.

I even had that exact picture ready to go but I figured I needed another defenseman first so I picked Savard.

Shanahan is one of the greats. I was hoping he wouldn't get enough respect and fall to me on the next go round.

And if not him, Gartner was next.

More info later as I have to go out of town

Frick Tiger... first Luc... now Gartner... I'm starting to hate you!

While his Rookie Card says C, we're putting him in LW (as per the NHL.com link).

Team "Modern Era" selects DAVID ANDREYCHUK



http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8445000

Did it ever suck to see him hoist the Cup, rather than Jarome, but he's 3rd all time for LWs and 1st all time in PP goals. Can't argue with that.

GP - 1693
G - 640 (274 on the PP)
A - 698
Pts - 1338

David John "Dave" Andreychuk (born 29 September, 1963, in Hamilton, Ontario)[1] is a former professional hockey left winger who played in the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning.

Dave Andreychuk was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres from the Ontario Hockey League's Oshawa Generals in the 1982 NHL Entry Draft and played his first NHL season in 1982–83. He went on to play 11 seasons in Buffalo before being traded on February 2, 1993, with Daren Puppa, and a 1993 first-round pick (Kenny Jonsson) go to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Grant Fuhr and a conditional 1995 fifth-round draft pick. He played for the Leafs until the 1995–96 when he was traded to the New Jersey Devils, where he stayed until 1999. After New Jersey, he had short stints with the Boston Bruins (1999–2000), Colorado Avalanche (2000), and Buffalo Sabres (2000–01), before settling with the Tampa Bay Lightning (2001–02 to 2005–06).

His best seasons offensively were in 1992–93 and 1993–94 when, with Toronto, he posted 99 points in each season. The 1993 and 1994 playoffs also saw Andreychuk and the Maple Leafs advance to the Conference Finals, where they lost to the Los Angeles Kings and the Vancouver Canucks, respectively.

Awesome pick. Probably one of the most underrated players of his generation. Everyone loves a MacInnis or a Bourque or a Coffey... but I can't think of any team in the 80/90s who wouldn't have loved to have a Suter on their team.

Whoa didn't realize I was next...pick up in a minute.

Okay, got it! The Bawlf Blawkhawks would like to select Lester "The Silver Fox" Patrick as their second defenseman



Beginning in 1903, Lester "The Silver Fox" Patrick played a significant role in hockey history for nearly half a century. As a player, he was one of the top rushing defensemen of his day and a team leader. Patrick was also an inspirational coach and a respected team administrator. Along with his brother Frank, he pioneered the construction of artificial rinks and formed the Pacific Coast Hockey Association.
Patrick first played shinny on the frozen ponds of his native Drummondville, Quebec, before his family moved to nearby Montreal. He learned the game in the amateur leagues of Montreal but first gained fame as a star offensive blueliner with Brandon, Manitoba, of the North West Hockey League. He was a key member of the squad when it issued an unsuccessful challenge for the Stanley Cup against the Ottawa Senators in March 1904.

He returned to Montreal to play a year with the Westmount club before joining the powerful Montreal Wanderers in 1905-06. He was an instant success and helped his new club dethrone the Senators as Cup holders that same season. Patrick helped the Wanderers repeat as champions the next year. His exceptional passes benefited the likes of Ernie Russell and Cecil Blanchford.

He moved to Nelson, British Columbia, in 1907 to work in the family lumber business but continued to play on a local team. Patrick returned to the headlines with the Edmonton squad that lost a Stanley Cup challenge to the Wanderers in 1908. His brother Frank joined him at this time.

The Patrick brothers played with the Renfrew Millionaires during the inaugural season of the National Hockey Association in 1910-11. The following season, they returned to British Columbia and began plans for a new league of their own. Formed in 1911-12, the Pacific Coast Hockey Association attained a reputation on par with the NHA - and later the NHL - until it was renamed the Western Canada Hockey League. The Patricks lured away many top stars of the NHA to give their new loop instant legitimacy. Such icons as Cyclone Taylor and Newsy Lalonde thrived in the wide-open style of the PCHA. Many considered it to be the most exhilarating pro league ever.

The brothers were also innovators. They sold the lumber company to finance the construction of the country's first artificial ice rinks in Vancouver and Victoria. As a player in the PCHA, Lester Patrick skated chiefly for the Victoria Cougars but also suited up briefly for the Seattle Metropolitans and the Spokane club.

[Jagger]

Quick pick.

Team Slapshot will take Newsy Lalonde as Centre #2

Very interesting character. Scored for the Montreal Canadiens in the first ever NHL game. Scored in his first six NHL games, a record, recently equaled by Malkin.



Edouard "Newsy" Lalonde (October 31, 1887, Cornwall, Ontario – November 21, 1970) was a Canadian professional ice hockey forward in the National Hockey League (NHL) and a professional lacrosse player, regarded as one of hockey's and lacrosse's greatest players of the first half of the 20th century and one of sport's most colourful characters. He played for the Montreal Canadiens -- considered to be the original "Flying Frenchman" -- in the National Hockey Association and the NHL. He also played for the WCHL's Saskatoon Sheiks. Before playing professional ice hockey, he worked in a newspaper plant, where he acquired the "Newsy" moniker.

[RougeUnderoos]

Anyone else notice that the players with the black and white pictures have way better nicknames than the players of today?

If Cyclone Taylor was playing today he'd be called "Fred Taylor" and his nickname would be "Tays". Newsy Lalonde would be called "Ed Lalonde" and his nickname would be either "Lalsy" or "Edsy".

Has anyone had a good nickname since Ken Linseman?

Ya, it's a sign of the times. At one time you had "Babe" Pratt and "Babe" Seibert.

If, say, Aeneas were to address Andre Roy as "Babe", he is going to get pummeled within an inch of his life...or at least that's what happened last time he tried that.

Pat Verbeek was "The Little Ball of Hate", that was a pretty good one. The best ones IMO are "The Dipsy Doodle Dandy from Delisle" and "The Chicoutimi Cucumber".

Team He Shoots......He Scoooores! is proud to select one of the greatest left wingers of all time, Aurele Joliat.

From Legends of Hockey.com:
Aurele Joliat was a prolific scorer and relentless backchecker during 16 rewarding seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. He never allowed his comparatively small frame to impede his progress in the NHL. Joliat often teamed with his good friend Howie Morenz to form one of the most potent offensive duos in league history. His blazing forays down the port side made him one of hockey's most exciting left wingers of all time, and his combination of speed and small size made him one of the trickiest skaters to bodycheck.

In his rookie season, the Mighty Atom impressed fans with his speed and puckhandling abilities. He was also a feisty adversary who frustrated his larger opponents. Joliat scored 13 goals in 24 games from his left wing position that year. The following season he was placed on a line with Howie Morenz in one of the more successful moves in the history of the Canadiens hockey club.

By the time the 1923-24 post-season began, the line made up of Joliat and Morenz and Billy Boucher was operating at peak efficiency. This formidable trio led the Montrealers to victory over the Ottawa Senators in the NHL playoffs and was followed by successful matchups against Vancouver and Calgary to claim the Stanley Cup. Many labeled Morenz as the key member of this explosive unit, but Joliat was unquestionably of equal value as a catalyst.

The Little Giant topped all NHL goal scorers in 1924-25 with 29 goals to his credit. He continued to be among the league leaders in this category over the next dozen seasons. Joliat played on his second Stanley Cup champion team in 1929-30 when he contributed to the Habs' upset victory over the heavily favoured Boston Bruins in a two-game sweep in the best-of-three finals. The following year the Canadiens repeated as Cup winners in a tough five-game series with the Chicago Black Hawks.

At the conclusion of the 1930-31 season, Joliat was chosen as the left wing on the inaugural NHL First All-Star Team. Subsequently he was selected to the Second Team in 1932, 1934 and 1935. In 1933-34, he registered his third 20-goal season and was the recipient of the Hart Trophy.

When he retired in 1938, Joliat's regular-season output read 270 goals and 460 points. His ability to break up plays defensively and quickly lead the counterattack provided the Canadiens with a feared transitional game. Over time he earned the respect of many of the toughest players in the NHL because of his fearless refusal to back down in on-ice confrontations. The small black cap Joliat wore during games throughout his career reminded fans and players of his willingness to retaliate. Taunting him by knocking his hat to the ice always brought a swift reaction and consequently it didn't happen often

From Wiki:

• At the time of his retirement, Joliat was tied with Morenz for scoring the most goals in NHL history to that date.
• Ranked 65th on The Hockey News' list of the 100 Greatest Hockey Players.
• Named to the inaugural First All-Star Team at left wing in 1931.
• Named a Second Team All-Star in 1932, 1934 and 1935.
• Won the Hart Trophy as the NHL's most valuable player in 1934.
• Despite playing in an era where seasons totaled no more than 48 games, Joliat remains in 9th place all-time on the Canadiens' career goal scoring list and second among left wingers
• Named to the 75th Anniversary All-Time Team by the Canadiens.
• His number 4 jersey was "co-retired" in 1984, having been previously retired in Jean Beliveau's honour.

While overall I do agree, just wait until the rest of the league catches onto "Scoreface" and the announcers start calling him that. Pure awesomeness.....

Nah, I could take Roy. He'd probably fall down right away. Godard, Boogaard, Orr, those guys I would not call "Babe".
