My Black Hawk dynasty team could rip this team to shreds

I'll put up Bryan Hextall, Allan Stanley, Bill Gadsby, and Vic Hadfield against any of the guys on Dan's team...........and I guarantee you.....my guys will be the ones left standing.
I've seen Colton Orr fight twice. He lost to Chara in an exhibition game in 2003 taking 3 punches and going down without getting a punch in (no wonder Boston treaded him and signed Chara). He then got roughed up pretty badly by Brian McGrattan in March 2006.

Snoop,
I thought about Jagr, but even in a high scoring era he's not as good as Bun Cook, Bathgate and Rod Gilbert. It came down to him, Hextall, and Lafleur on Espo's wing. Espo can't stand Jagr or Lafleur, and Hextall's been dead for years so that left Hextall.
As Cyren pointed out, Beezer would have been a better choice based on my criteria, but Richter won a Cup, Beezer didn't. And we all know Stanley rules (hence the inclusion of Allan Stanley (who won 4 cups as a Leaf after leaving the Big Apple))

I contemplated making that the first line...after all, it has the two highest scoring players in NHL history....but Cook, Cook, and Boucher are one of the few complete lines in the Hall of Fame, and in the 70s, Gilbert-Ratelle-Hadfield were only surpassed by Barber-Clarke-MacLeish and Robert-Perreault-Martin. So, those are the two best lines in Rangers history...Gretzky and Messier will have to settle for less ice time. Vickers and Espo actually played on the power-play together in the late 70s, and along with Vicker's Calder Trophy was the reason for including him.

Okay People.....I get it...........this is now a 3 goalie team....Vanbeisbrouck has made the cut.
My all-time Ranger Coach would be Lester Patrick

Snoop,
Vickers has a much higher pts/game than Graves did. Take Away Graves' 50 goal season, and he's just another solid player. Kovalev didn't meet any of the criteria. Sadly neither did Walter Tkaczuk. Lindros and Bure were great players for other teams, but their Ranger careers took them to new lows.

The day before Gretzky was traded by LA..........LA traded Kurri to the Rangers, he played 14 games there.
I was looking at 3 years as a minimum cut-off...enough time to establish a presence as a Ranger

Ron Duguay did not meet the criteria

So................why pick Richter? You could have picked JVB instead...............2 post-season all-star teams and a Vezina.
So there!

What a team! Great work (as usual!) I wonder how they would stack up against an all-time Penguins line up...
Where's Jaromir Jagr? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he finish the 2005-06 season on a post-season All-Star team? I would definitely put him ahead of Steve Vickers or Bryan Hextall any day. On top of that, as much as I hate saying this, what about putting John Vanbiesbrouck as your back-up goalie instead of Mike Richter? Again, I think Beezer (being the racist bastard he is) won a major NHL award while with the Rangers.
An addendum- Good point about Jagr. You would even take Steve Vickers over Adam Graves and Alexei Kovalev?
Who would be your ATRD (All-time Rangers Dynasty) coach?

I think even at this early point in his career, I'd be tempted to take Lundqvist over Richter or Beezer.
Nice 3rd line BTW.

Pretty good.Also I guess an OK third line its a shame Jari Kurri didn't play for them.How about anyplace for Guy Lafleur or was it too late in his career?
2007-12-07 07:31:23 · answer #4 · answered by Anonymous · 1⤊ 0⤋
Still would kinda like to see Jagr in there...
Can Ron Greshner coach?

Seeing as my Red Wings Dynasty team would decimate any Rangers & 'Hawks team put together, I'll refrain from further comment

Where's Ron Dugay:-)
And if you have a fan category, the guy that got beat with his own shoe by Mike Milbury.

Maybe I need my temperature taken, but I think Dan T's team would tear your team up. J/K
