[Ceremony]

The NHL has been doing a thing to celebrate it being 25, with every team's best lineup from 2000-2025. Here are ours:

Forward positions obviously not taken into account.

This is obviously bullshit. No Georgiev.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

No concerns with the players named.

EJ gets in over Toews/Bourque due to tenure. No problem.

 

[missionAvs]

EJ over Matt Hunwick is a choice.

 

[hockeyfish]

Who would be your 3rd line/pairing/goalie? I'd probably say Tanguay, Stastny, Duchene, Liles, Towes, and Anderson.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Where is the General?

 

[forsbergavs32]

Arnason, May, Yakupov, Hunwick, Guenin, Georgiev

 

[Hennessy]

That's exactly what I assumed it would/should be.

 

[sethro109]

I bet at some point, Keefe and Rycroft are going to give Liles shit for not making it.

 

[Pokecheque]

Sure, I'm good with this.

 

[famicommander]

That top 6 forward group would score so many freaking goals.

Varly

Watching prime Sakic was centering both prime Forsbergs and MacKinnon would be something. Especially with Makar and Foote.

Footer breaks up the cycle, finds Makar, who skates out of trouble looks up ice and finds Sakic at the redline for a 3 on 1 break against...

But Mikko hops over the boards early and gets both an offside call to go with a too many men on the ice penalty.

 

[UncleRisto]

Pierre-Marc Bouchard is going to make the Wild's second team.

Anyway, just a thought.

 

[myperbixhurts]

No Arnason?

 

[The Abusement Park]

No Arnason?

This is the Avalanche All Quarter Century team. Not the Shotgun Willie’s All Quarter Century Team.

 

[22FUTON9]

Porter, Arnason, Yip, Redmond, Guenin, Zanon, Cliche … wow did we have some bad players back in the days

 

[Vaslof]

Toews > EJ

 

[pont]

Where is the General?

Pointing his way to oblivion.

 

[Hasbro]

This is the Avalanche All Quarter Century team. Not the Shotgun Willie’s All Quarter Century Team.

One time you’ll see Arnason on a team with James Harden and Ja Morant.

 

[HockeyFan100]

I'd go Bourque over Liles and Aebischer as the goalie

 

[dahrougem2]

Love EJ, but if you're going to include Patrick Roy - great as he is - for 3 years worth of play then I think Devon Toews should beat out EJ for that second team spot.

Either way, splitting hairs.

 

[NOTENOUGHRYJOTHINGS]

But Mikko hops over the boards early and gets both an offside call to go with a too many men on the ice penalty.

To be fair he thought it was onside and a line change. Because Tanguay was already 18 feet into the offensive zone.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

I cant see many team with a better 2000-2025 team. Especially since it removes the peak years of Gretzky, Mario, Orr.
