I forgot about that cross-check to the face by Suter. Kariya has never been the same since, really.
No wonder people in Canada hate Suter so much. He almost killed the Great One with a check from behind, then ended any chance of Kariya being the Next One. Maybe Ryan Suter will carry on the family tradition and run Crosby's head through the glass and nearly kill him someday. Then Dad would be proud. |

He has US citizenship along with Canadian. So I guess he can play for either country.

Ya, or maybe, he'll actually kill him, then his dad would be jealous,
just kidding

| Just play the '86 Oilers. As old as they are, they could still compete against any thrown-together national team. And the pride would be huge, considerIng their breakdown that year. Steve Smith for MVP! |

1976 - by far the best group of the defencemen ever assembled. I'm guessing Carol Vadnais and Jimmy Watson never got much ice time.
1987 - by far the best group of offensive powers ever assembled. However that D line is paper thin. After Bourque, Coffey and Murphy the others never amounted to much. I think there is like 5 top 11 scorers of all time there.
2002 - the most ridiculous collection of goalies. solid O line about the same as the 1976 team. D line is strong but not ridiculous like 1976 and for sure stronger than 1987.
My pick would be to combine these teams. The offensive line of 87, with the D line of 76 and the goalies of 02 (if I had to pick the units intact). Otherwise I'd mash the O and D line of 87 and 76 but I'd keep that goalie list of 02.
If I had to pick only one team, I'd take 02. There were no who's that player on this team (maybe Simon Gagne). I notice the 76 and 87 teams had a bunch of "no-names" that made the team.

I would say 1987 with Gretzky and Lemieux.
(Sigh) If time travelling was possible I would have gone back to 2002 Olympics and knocked out Tommy Salo and dropped of a decent goalie...
The book on Salo has always been, "go over his head". Heh heh! |
