Al is correct -- mine are two separate teams, one through '82 and one post-'82.  It has the coincidental advantage that I've only been watching since '82.

 Anyone remember Carlo taking a penalty shot where the opposing coach pulled the goalie and inserted a defenseman?  I seem to recall the guy came out to challenge, Carlo faked him out of his shorts, then paused in front of the empty net to give the guy a look before he put the puck in.

They've changed the rule since then, right?  My impression was that you had to put a goalie specifically out there these days.

My starters:
G - Ken Dryden
D - Dan Lodboa
D - Bruce Pattison
F - Joe Nieuwendyk
F - Lance Nethery
F - John Hughes
Coach - Ned Harkness

A few comments on the guys not previously mentioned:
Pattison was a strong presence on the blue line both defensively and offensively, with a hard slapshot and great skating ability.  He also had the uncanny ability when shorthanded to clear the puck from his own end line by flipping it high in the air above the defending teams defenseman.  Once, but only once, he hit the rafters at Lynah.
Hughes was the first team center on the 29-0 team, and never seemed to lose a face-off.  For those who didn't seen him play, John Madden of the Devils very much reminds me of John Hughes.  John H. was also a great penalty killer.  One time I ran into referee Giles Threadgold at Boston Garden, and introduced myself as a Cornellian.  We started talking college hockey and he described Hughes as "the best forechecker I've ever seen" in college hockey.
