Beliveau, Dickie Moore, Geoffrion, Richard, Harvey, Jacques Plante. That team changed the game and even made for rule changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narrative? Facts. Busquets/Iniesta/Xavi are all legends - which is what I said. Xavi and Iniesta alone are top 5-7 midfielders all time. Kroos isn’t even in the same convo. Throw in Busquets and you’d be hard-pressed to find me a midfield that had 3 better starters. The topic was collection of talent - not titles. Madrid will continue winning titles in the 92nd or 97th minute long after I’ve departed this planet, regardless of Kroos and Modric. Some things are what they are. cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So fun to watch. 1949-1953 Yankees won 5 straight titles, Yogi, Whitey, Mickey, Scooter, Joe Dimaggio, Ralph Houk, Allie Reynolds, Hank Bauer, Billy Martin. 487-280 [.637 win %] over 5 seasons.

Artem Lipatov Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) On 6/7/2024 at 1:52 AM, QB Bills said: Even though they lost, the 1987 Russian hockey team at the Canada Cup was probably the only time I've seen one team look like they are playing a different sport than their opponent. They were incredible. I've never seen the game played at such a highly skilled level before or since. As stacked as Canada was, they really needed that favourable officiating and general thuggery or they would have gotten smoked. That 1987 series USSR-Canada 6:5,5:6,5:6 is the best hockey ever. Soviet legends in their prime against NHL legends in their prime. On ice at the same time Gretzky-Lemieux-Messier, Coffey-Bourque against Makarov-Larionov-Krutov, Fetisov-Kasatonov. Watch these full games on Yutube. You will never see such hockey again. I checked: that Canada team had 12 future HOFers Edited June 11 by Artem Lipatov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artem Lipatov Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 In years 1964-1992 USSR hockey team won 7of 8 Olympics (except wonder on ice in 1980) and 20 of 25 World Champions, including 9 years in a row. "Red machine" had several generations of huge talents. If they played in NHL a lot of them would be HOFers. CSKA Moscow was so stacked with stars in late 80s that 4th(!) line was youngsters Mogilny-Fedorov-Bure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have won 6 of the last 11 Champions Leagues. I agree that overall that Barca side had more talent than the Madrid sides that have won 6 Champions Leagues, but I think the midfields are a LOT closer than people like to accept. Modric and Kroos have been awesome for over a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's impressive Bear. A little before my time. I was in elementary school when the A's were dominant in the 70's. Here is a tidbit, my girlfriend's grandfather played in the major leagues for a decade from 1938 to 1947. His name was Roy Cullenbine. Played for a bunch of teams. Had a real solid career too, when you look up his stats. He may have had the most walks of any player in MLB history at the time he retired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
