I have to say the Edmonton Oilers with Grant Fuhr in net. THey had three of the best forwards to ever play the game in gretzky, messier, and kurri. They also and solid d man core

Ya that was a good team also a few montreal teams back then with the "rocket" richard.

I would have to say Edmonton back in the 80's.

9 Hall of famers.

I would have to agree with you EagleBelfour.

wow i never relized how many good players the Canadians 1926-77 team had. I agree with eaglebelfour

I think the dominant Detroit Redwings teams should get some consideration. Even though I never liked em.

I like the Red Wings mid to late 90's. The Russian 5 line was unbelievable.

The Oilers in the 80's were awesome, too.
