Bana's TEAM

[Banackock 8,143]

Well shit. This is a damn tough. Firstly, good theme week idea. It might get people searching around the league, get them involved in history and surely would get the discussion going. However, for me it's tough. Do I go the easy route and pick my amazing Bears team? I know what people are thinking and they're also likely assuming that's the way most of us Bears are going to take. Can you blame us? I think all of us were consistently good throughout our entire careers or the portions that counted. Not only that, but it's a dream team. Some players dream of winning one cup. Most dream of winning two cups. These boys won 4. Because of this, it's made it pretty damn hard for me to name a single 3 F, 2 D and 1 G, so I've elected to go the route and do what they want - make an actual damn team. Let's get the first lines out of the way, hey?

 

Acyd Burn - Scott Greene - John Frostbeard

Hulk Hogan - Berocka Sundqvist

Rayz Funk

 

How can this not be your team? Each of these players were massive pieces to Seattle's success. Acyd Burn was there for a few cups and was an amazing person to have in the locker room. He was one of the guys I trusted most on the website and was unfortunately a casualty to the salary cap. He was an amazing teammates and I really hope he finds his way in a Bears jersey again. His player might not of been what he wanted it to be, but he brings so much more to the table. The same could be said on the flip side about Frosty boy. I talk to still on a fairly regular basis and I love how genuine and real the guy is. One of my favourite members on the site and you won't find many more people that can compete with his loyalty when on your team. This is gonna be dumb but you can say this about Dok, Hogan, Aussieman and Rayray too. These 4 boys are easily the most trusted people I have on this site. They've dealt with much of the teams shit, put up with my shit and we're even there for one another on a personal level. These guys are legends. Bears legends and league legends. They've made history that may not even be repeated again and will always be remembered as potentially the best, if not one of the best, dynasties to ever happen in this league. Right when people thought we were done and out, when age would catch up to us or the salary cap would fuck us, we found a way out and found a way to remind the league that we are the champions. This group of players - can't top them. You really can't. Way too many levels here, folks. 6 onions. Peel those bastards.

 

And now for the fun, a quick team made up of people off the top of my head to make the finale portions of the team. This group is strictly off the top of my head. No searching. When I think great players, they gotta stick in your brain. Let's wrap this baby up!

 

Gabriel McAllister - Franchise Cornerstone - Matt Thompson

Jeff Hamilton - Black Velvet

Hans Winsgate

 

Maybe a little bit of biased here but McAllister and Thompson were very amazing, very dominant players. It just so happened they were also Bears. Each had amazing careers, both ended up in the HoF but each brought something special/magical/orgasmic to the league. Cornerstone was a toss up. I initially had Scotty Campbell there because he's number one in the league for many things. He was also the simmer and my inner gorlab tells me some of it is likely bull shit. Even if it wasn't, I feel like Cornerstone was just as amazing in a different era of the league and for me, I'd take him any day of the week. Absolutely amazing player. Hamilton and Velvet would be a strong duo on the blue line. Storied with multiple awards and celebrations, both also found themselves in the HoF. Both are respected, oldie members and I mean, you cannot go wrong with either. I'd throw these 2 on the blue line together any day of the week and I betcha they'd give everyone else's team a massive run for their money. Lastly, Hans winsgate... He's my 1B here.. Maybe 1A? Ray wasn't always the best in the regular season but was the best goalie to ever play in the playoffs. Winsgate was the opposite. I think he was pretty epic in playoffs too, but his numbers speak for themselves.

 

THE END
