$20 For Your Dream Hockey Line Up


LW- Bobby Hull- $4
Hull was an absolute beast on the ice. 1,170pts in 1,063 games? yes please. Plus he played in Hartford so that bumps him up a few notches in my book. The guy had absolute wheels and was untouchable. One of the greatest goal scorers the NHL has seen. 

Center- Wayne Gretzky- $5
This is an absolute no brainer. The best to ever play the game. (Side note: this photo was taken during Gretzky's last game in Hartford.)

Right Wing- Jaromir Jagr- $3
If we're being honest with each other, part of the reason I picked Jags is cause of his mullet, god damn it's a thing of beauty. Also, the guy is ancient and still doing well in the show. Who knows if he'll ever retire.

Defenseman- Bobby Orr- $5
If you don't take Bobby Orr on your team you're probably an idiot. The guy did things no one else could do and no one else has done. I would have loved to see him play.

Defenseman- Zdeno Chara- $1
I would LOVE to see big Z play with Bobby on the blue line. Would be so awesome. Z's incredible defensive skills combined with Bobby's offensive prowess would be incredible. There are probably much better defensemen that are available for me to pick, but the Bruins fan in me forced me into it.

Goalie- Dominik Hasek- $2
Hasek for $2 is a steal. He played an incredible style of hockey and will always be one of my favorite tendys. 

This was an interesting list of players to pick from. Where were Sakic, Forsberg, Rocket Richard? If you took Ovechkin or Crosby you're a moron. As the Capitals have clearly demonstrated that building a team around Ovi doesn't work. Maybe if he contributed in the defensive zone it'd be another story. For Crosby, just look at the other options you've got. You can't take Sid the Kid over Wayne, Mario, Toews OR Messier.
