Pimlach Posted July 28, 2019 Report Posted July 28, 2019 The best hockey players born on my birthday are HoF goalie Ken Dryden and HOF defensemen Bill Gadsby (played from 1947 to 1966). The best forward is Greg Polis, with a respectable 174 goals and 343 point in 615 games. He had 4 seasons with 20+ goals and 1 season with 30. The Goalie of the Cup winning team was Ken Dryden. So, could I have Dryden vs Dryden which is a stalemate and I live another day? Quote

I remember that he was a tripod in front of the net during power plays, getting those kind of goals. His cardio was other worldly, he used to often have 2-3 minute shifts. LOL. Quote

He lead the league in goals 6 years in a row, led in total scoring 5 of 6 years. Having Orr on the ice helps a lot too. Quote

Actually, he was my favorite player growing up before the Sabres were in existence. Can't believe I EVER liked a Bruin. 2 best skating d-men I ever saw; Orr and Coffey. Quote
JujuFish Posted July 28, 2019 Report Posted July 28, 2019 This is a pretty easy choice for anyone who graduated in 2005 (and, I suppose, 1919, though it's unlikely anyone who would qualify is still alive - the oldest living person would have had to graduate at 16.) Quote
GoPuckYourself Posted July 29, 2019 Report Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) I have HOF Darryl Sittler going against Goalie HOF Dominik Hasek, I'm most likely a dead man unless I can have Ted Nolan distracting him. Edited July 29, 2019 by GoPuckYourself Quote

Skibum Posted July 29, 2019 Report Posted July 29, 2019 Teemu Selanne on Martin Brodeur. Epic showdown, I win. I could also go with Teppo Numminen, or Hakan Loob, my favorite hockey name ever. Quote

It looks like he was 2 of 6 in his career, fwiw. One conversion came in the playoffs. 2 hours ago, New Scotland (NS) said: And you call yourself a Sabre fan ...
