rmackman Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 NHL.com on Facebook is offering "Fan Banners" now. I started goofing off with it, and decided to make a starting lineup of my favorite hockey players growing up. Feel free to make your own lineups. Also, yes I know Vanbiesbrouck is spelled wrong, but that's all the room I had. Just a side note....make sure they're mostly positionally correct. Having any forwards in the top 3 is fine. Don't go putting a forward in the goalie spot or in the defenseman spot. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any team in the mid-to-late 90s would've killed to have a guy like Mac. He was productive point-wise for a year or two, but his role wasn't necessarily to score, although coincidentally, he had some very clutch goals in Wings history.
