Is this the worst NHL lineup we've seen since.... ??

[RegDunlop]

Flames had a back to back with an early start (2 pm ct). It’s not that surprising.

HaHaHaHa

 

[PanniniClaus]

Some solid work from posters finding those Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa lineups.

The Ottawa roster was amongst the worst teams to play a season in the NHL. Today's Hawk roster would challenge it.

 

[VaporTrail]

As a Sabres fan, I'm confident that lineup could beat us.

 

[JPeeper]

Flames still think they can compete and make the playoffs. Stop trying you goofballs and just go for the pick and pray we can luck into Celebrini.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

it took many years but I can finally say I was right that Tinordi would be a top pairing defenceman.

 

[DanyHeatley]

Would probably still beat Ottawa 4-2

 

[Akrapovince]

Would probably still beat Ottawa 4-2

Not a chance in hell Ottawa scores 2 and only let in 4.

5-1 Chicago.

 

[cliffclaven]

Who would still bet on this Chicago Blackhawks roster to be an above .500 club playing a dozen games in the 70s and 80s?--of course, it goes without saying that no coach shall pull their goalie down by 3!

This team wouldn’t make it out of the first period playing any team from the 80s.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

The Flames should be embarrassed losing to that lineup. Higher caphit in the press box than on the ice for Chicago.

 

[DJB]

Lite called creatively and purposefully tanking

 

[miscs75]

2008-09 New York Islanders vs Vancouver Canucks on Nov 17. Keep in mind, this was the year they got to draft granola boy:

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

As a Sabres fan, I'm confident that lineup could beat us.

In 2015, sure, but in 2024? Also sure, because it’s the Sabres.

Now I wanna watch an all-time worst team playoff for some reason.

 

[powerbomb]

This team wouldn’t make it out of the first period playing any team from the 80s.

What?! But everyone talks about how seismically inferior players were in older eras, that they were all eating ropes of sausage and chugging beer while puffing on stogies! How can you possibly believe your average, even sub-par, hockey player today with all the modern advantages of nutrition and training wouldn’t crush the milk cartons of yesteryear!?

Since who? Help me out

Expansion Sens or Sharks??

I think some of the rosters from Washington in 1975, or Winnipeg in 1981 may be able to challenge this. But this Chicago example is certainly an NHL roster that would probably be a middling team in the the AHL. (Just a bit of exaggeration, but this is "wow" bad)

 

[tfwnogf]

so many literally whos on that roster, also

>flames

lmao

 

[GreeningOil]

Its an above average AHL team

What would happen if they played their actual AHL team is the real question

 

[Nicko999]

Habs in the early 00's had such powerhouse lineups that they went 3 years without a 50 pts scorer.

Not impressed by this Hawks lineup one bit.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Was gonna call it the Miracle on ice: NHL edition but remembered the Flames are garbage soooo…. Surprise on ice?

 

[vancityluongo]

these names sound like people in witness protection...

...but that wouldn't make sense cause they're playing for the organization they'd need to be protected from

Still good enough to beat Calgary

 

[robertmac43]

Yikes, that has got to be up there.

 

[WarriorofTime]

it took many years but I can finally say I was right that Tinordi would be a top pairing defenceman.

As pedantic as it may be, Tinordi was a distant third in ice time amongst Hawk D yesterday after Vlasic and Murphy.

 

[Coffey]

Since

 

[Kshahdoo]

Not a chance in hell Ottawa scores 2 and only let in 4.

5-1 Chicago.

Zaitsev should be happy, they traded him to the better team.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

They play the best lineup ever put together in the New York Rangers next month. Guess that will be a 20-0 blowout.

Literally no one has said anything close to that about the Rangers but ok.
