I was listening to a talk show on XM radio today and they were discussing who would you put on a Mount Rushmore for the NBA?

To build off that idea, what four hockey players, coaches, owners, etc. would you consider for a Mount Rushmore?

Lord Stanley, Wayne Gretzky, Gary Bettman, Sidney Crosby ... and the "Windsor Hotel in Montreal". Search dat up if ya dont know.

Todd Bertuzzi, Matt Cooke

Wayne Gretzky, Gary Bettman, Gordie Howe, Sidney Crosby

Gretzky, Lemeiux, Howe, Orr (Hasek is an HM)

Brent Gretzky, Mark Howe, Colton Orr, Claude Lemeiux

Bossy, Trottier, Potvin, Smith

Gretzky, Howe, Orr, Campbell

Bobby Orr, Cam Neely, Ray Bourque and Milt Schmidt. HM to Johnny Bucyk

Let's do that for every team of the Nhl except the golden knights because they have no history:
Anaheim Ducks: Teemu Selanne, Scott Niedermayer, Ryan Getzlaf, Paul Kariya
Arizona Coyotes: Shane Doan, Jeremy Roenick, Keith Tkachuck, Oliver Ekman Larsson
Boston Bruins: Milt Schmidt, Phil Esposito, Ray Bourque and Bobby Orr duh
Buffalo Sabres: Dominik Hasek, Gilbert Perreault, Phil Housley, Rick Martin
Calgary Flames: Al MacInnis, Jarome Iginla, Theoren Fleury, Mike Vernon
Carolina Hurricanes: Ron Francis, Rod Brind'Amour, Cam Ward, Eric Staal
Chicago Blackhawks: Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews
Colorado Avalanche: Patrick Roy, Joe Sakic, Milan Hejduck, Peter Forsberg
Columbus Blue Jackets: Rick Nash, Sergei Bobrovsky, Nick Foligno, R.J. Umberger
Dallas Stars: Mike Modano, Joe Nieuwendyk, Ken Hitchcock, Ed Belfour
Detroit Red Wings: Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, Steve Yzerman, Nicklas Lidstrom
Edmonton Oilers: Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Grant Fuhr, Jarri Kurri
Florida Panthers: Scott Mellanby, Olli Jokinen, Stephen Weiss, Bill Torrey
Los Angeles Kings: Marcel Dionne, Wayne Gretzky, Anze Kopitar, Jonathan Quick
Minnesota Wild: Mikko Koivu, Marian Gaborik, Andrew Brunette, Zach Parise
Montreal Canadiens: Maurice Richard, Jean Beliveau, Guy Lafleur, Patrick Roy (HM Howie Morenz and so many others)
Nashville Predators: Shea Weber, Pekka Rinne, David Poile, Roman Josi
New Jersey Devils: Martin Brodeur, Scott Stevens, Scott Niedermayer, Patrik Elias
New York Islanders: Denis Potvin, Mike Bossy, Brian Trottier, Billy Smith
New York Rangers: Mark Messier, Rod Gilbert, Brian Leetch, Andy Bathgate
Ottawa Senators: Daniel Alfredsson, Erik Karlsson, Jason Spezza, Dany Heatly
Philadelphia Flyers: Bernie Parent, Bobby Clarke, Eric Lindros, Bill Barber
Pittsburgh Penguins: Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin
San Jose Sharks: Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, Joe Pavelski, Brent Burns
St Louis: Brett Hull, Bernie Federko, Al Macinnis, Chris Pronger
Tampa Bay Lightning: Dave Andreychuk, Martin St-Louis, Vincent Lecavalier, Steven Stamkos
Toronto Maple Leafs: Johnny Bower, Dave Keon, Darryl Sittler, Mats Sundin
Vancouver Canucks: Pavel Bure, Markus Näslund, The Sedin Twins
Washington Capitals: Mike Gartner, Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Rod Langway
Winnipeg Jets: Teemu Selanne, Dale Hawerchuk, Thomas Steen, Phil Housley

Andy would probably just lose out to Esposito.

It's impossible just to name 4.

I know.

Kolzig or Bondra would be on the Caps instead of Gartner

I'd personally throw Ed Snider in there over Bill Barber.

Lehtinen and Zubov over Nieuwendyk and Belfour

hahahahahaha....seriously????? KOLZIG???????? go away!!!!

ya but your a self proclaimed cerebral.......but we all know if you were, you wouldn't spend your time here

God you need to wake up.....Lehtinen is crap and Zubov was the most overrated ever!!!!!

Seems mildly inappropriate for a sports discussion, especially when one is stating their own opinion.

Kolzig took our team to a Cup Final in ‘98. Holtby is about to take Kolzig’s spot as the greatest goalie in team history, but for now it’s Kolzig.

Don’t try and tell me about my team when you don’t know a damn thing about the league outside of the Bruins. You don’t even really know a lot about them to be completely honest

You do know I’m talking about Jere Lehtinen right? Three time Selke winner? Not the goalie Kari Lehtonen. And how was Zubov overrated? Because he was a defenseman that actually put up all of those “fantasy points” you love to harp on? If you think Zubov is overrated, then you must think Torey Krug is terrible. But since Krug wears the spoked B, we all know you won’t be objective about it.

The Sabres are tough. Hasek and Perreault are locks. LaFontaine should be up there as well. The problem is coming up with the last inclusion. Breaking up the French Connection is sacrilege, so you can't include Martin and not Robert. Other candidates Briere/Drury (here only a short time, but captained some of the best Sabres teams ever assembled) also can't be split up. Eichel will almost surely be a candidate in the future, but he can't be included based on potential (and what he almost certainly WILL do). Pegula is a big figure in Buffalo in general, but the football and hockey franchises haven't yet had any success under his ownership, so he can't go up there yet.

I think I'd go with Hasek, Perreault, LaFontaine, Ruff (or Ray).

Ya I guess it's hard to pick 4 when Caps have never won a cup.....Rushmore question should be just for teams that have.....

Who cares about Cups? 3 President’s Trophies and we’re 2-0 in Winter Classics, that’s what really matters
