He's up there in my initial post bro. One of the best players of his time along with Jags, Lindros and Kariya. Sick ppg and could do it all.
Still remember him chucking them with Shanahan back in the day. So refreshing to watch a Swede who wasn't a bitch.
Right you are. Dunno how I missed seeing his name there.
This is a tough line-up to put together without Red Army players.
I also don't know about Hasek. Elevate the puck more than 2.5 feet and he was doomed. He thrived in the dead puck era where the majority of chances came from right around the net in heavy scrambles and nobody had time to lift the puck with bodies hanging off of them while they were busy playing whack-fuck on skates. He backstopped some decent teams, and needed to land in Detroit to finally lift the Cup.
I really wish he had come along 5-7 years later so that he was closer to his prime years after the 2004 lockout. Hockey opened up for a while and more than a few goaltenders declined sharply. Even his save percentage dropped big time, but he was already 41 years old at that point.
What about Stan Mikita and Peter Stastny?
