What was the most exciting 5 year period for you in the last 40 years, and why?

Yeah, I guess Trottier is close to perfection too.

Regardless, my favorite time of hockey was 88-93. No Gretzky on the Oilers, Mario was flying, so many good players in the league. There was much better parity in the league from the last expansion and it was a good mix of offense and defense. Right after the high flying early and mid 80's and just before the dead puck mid to late 90's.
Sorry I can not conform to those 5 year spans. I gotta be an individual and make my own.
Wayne or Bobby?? How about both!!! |

Posted - 11/30/2007 : 12:19:06 I only started watching in the 80's so I don't have an opinion pre Gretzky/dead puck era days.
I'd say '86-'90 GO PREDATORS GO |
