Thanks for the listing, Joe. Some small revisions to my list of Legends, with Martin Brodeur and Nick Lidstrom definitely worthy of inclusion there for this edition (they were both "young lions" in the first edition). It will be interesting to see if any of the young players in this edition make that leap in future years. Sidney, we're pulling for you!
All the best,

The original Slap Shot starred none other than the late Paul Newman as the foul-mouthed coach, but the stars of the show became The Hanson Brothers. The lovable, entertaining, violent, and bespectacled Hansons were loosely based on three actual hockey playing brothers - Steve, Jeff and Jack Carlson. Jeff and Steve actually play Jeff and Steve Hanson in the movie. Jack Carlson could n
