playmaker snipers grinders two-way
forwards and power forwards these guys
transcended their role to becoming
all-time greats that’s why we’re
saluting the greatest forward today on
the lineup
welcome to the lineup the game show that
talks to its post I’m your host Adam
Reed let’s see what guess we’ve got
lined up welcome to the show Simon
peacocks Adam you’re a voice director
for video games like Assassin’s Creed
and you played a variety of mascots in a
show your partner produced called the
tournament yeah that’s right that’s my
way of establishing from the hockey cred
here okay three-time Stanley Cup winner
over there yeah double mascot Noah no
intelligent which boasts completely
different same gun I’m glad you said
that on not me your partner no but Andy
no mean you’re the CEO of played a
future in co-founder of Just for Laughs
and you sir are a master of disaster you
bought the official 1979 Stanley Cup
party to a standstill I did I asked a
toe Blake if I could pinch his cheeks in
a moment of merriment he went crazy
flipped the table ran after me the band
stopped Ron Andrews saved my life but it
was an interesting evening to say the
least we’re hoping you bring that
disaster the lineup you guys are faced
off against the powerhouse team Team
Blue compromise of John Gumby you’re an
accomplished PR specialist and sometimes
you get access to some pretty cool
people including booking some intimate
shows for guys like Prince absolutely
last year I was lucky enough to get the
contract to produce and book Prince
across North America for intimate shows
he did Montreal Toronto and
unfortunately that’s when he got sick we
had Nashville in a Atlanta booked as
well and I love how you use your fingers
to do that your sport a little something
on your fingers there anyway 1997
Detroit Red Wings Stanley covering the
year that I scored the overtime goal in
game 7 amazing time I would gather that
that comes from this man right here Matt
Johnson oh you are a three-time Stanley
Cup champion with the Detroit Red Wings
of munch walking how good does that
sound that’s pretty awesome
and if I’m not mistaken for a tough guy
here a little needle in the arm knocks
you out what’s up with that mad Dan
today yeah where’s your street cred I
know it’s pretty embarrassing but my
rookie season I guess at Joe Louis Arena
we had the blood work being done at DIA
in the public bathroom it was all hot
and sweaty and then I guess I passed out
and missed the first four days of the
camp we had another guy doing the
process
eight tests also he passed along a
leopard on the show they stopped doing
the they’re doing it the right way of
the jewels of it welcome to the line of
gentleness could be a lot of fun over
the next three periods our teams are
going to engage in a battle of knowledge
and strategy on their way to creating a
list of the top 10 greatest fours in NHL
history the hockey pros and WatchMojo
selected 20 players who they feel are
most likely to make this list gentlemen
this is your draft pool we’re looking at
all forwards right wings left wings and
centers from every era of the NHL just
for fun we’ve hit in a couple of names
those are our wildcard you can pick
those at any time and we’ve also
selected a player who we feel is most
likely to be at the top of the list and
that is our MVP the great one Wayne
Gretzky is off the table pronounced
manic curiosity this isn’t just a
fantasy draft for you you play with some
of these guys is there anybody that you
would put on this list that you think is
underappreciated I guess an Eric Lindros
I mean he was one of the best one he
played even play along because of
concussions but he was probably one of
the most dominant players when I played
in the mid-nineteen and what about skill
level skill level I think you need to
have like maybe a pebble brewery and I
mean he was unbelievable in the speed
and skill so he was really good
out of curiosity John what criteria you
guys going to be using as a team to make
your picks well we’re blending the idea
of the most accomplished scorers with
overall legendary players because
there’s there’s a lot of them up there
so winners as well you can’t agree with
that he gives in too many to add all by
this team no it’s too close Matthew’s
too close to any time fantasy you need a
distance all right I get to hockey for
us it’s a little bit more about the soul
of the human being you know the haircut
I got with Jana Jana yeah I can tell I
played augment and you can’t pinch my
cheeks either hey you say that now wait
to the end of the show hey you guys
between the drop pool let’s start
drafting in the entry drive each team
will have a chance to pick some players
to get them started we’ll go back and
forth playground style until both teams
have their first three players you guys
want the skills competition backstage
you get your first pick who’s it going
to be well we’re gonna go with who he
said was number two on our list I’ll
take Mario Lemieux right off to the
shocker Mario Lemieux super mario had
ten
seasons in which he recorded over a
hundred points with his career peak
being 199 points in 76 games played in
the 88 89 season he held Pittsburgh win
two straight Stanley Cups and was a
consummate winner both times he ended
his career with three heart trophies and
the are trough six times team boo on
fire your counter pick team red
you’ll get one that’s right okay well I
think we’re gonna go new school what do
you say yep
just go sit the kid Sidney Crosby oh
he’s one the family come twice of won
the Conn Smythe in 2016 Crosby has five
seasons with 100 plus points under his
belt
Crosby scored the golden goal in 2010
sealing a victory in Vancouver for Team
Canada good pick how you just gonna
fight back on that well it’s easy I mean
it’s uh where is he I work with Mike
Bossy and Mike Bossy I mean he had a
short career but 950 gold season
Diamondback he would be the top of the
list if he played another five or six
years so I go from Mike Bossy for sure
well good pick team read your counter
pick we’re gonna go with the classic
Jean Beliveau one of the 10 greatest
players of all time in any position all
right add the gentlemen and the hair
again the red hair reference they come
some fingers it all right shuttle make
your last pick okay well you want to go
there you want to go which one would you
like to go with make your pick team blue
go ahead yeah okay so we’re gonna go
with a legendary player that’s admired
world over I believe Morris rocky
Rashard rocker mushara get a movie I
mean that’s important that’s true team
red your final pick our counter to that
is the only way to top the rocket is mr.
hockey a guy whose name is synonymous
with a Gordie Howe 26 season
Gordie Howe known as mr. hockey goryeo
scored 70 plus points for the Red Wings
18 times before the end of his career he
won four Stanley Cups and played in 1767
NHL games the most in league history hi
gentlemen how you feeling your first
three picks are in I mean I think we’ve
got this one it’s pretty close I think
so far yes so far we have Mario’s are
way ahead because get merula teams I’m
loving those picks well we’re about to
make things a little bit more
contentious and yes I have no idea what
that word means but it’s time for the
next period game nice
if our teams want to stack their lineups
for the next seven draft picks building
needs to rely on their hockey knowledge
because game knife is all about trivia
every time a team answers a question
correctly they get to draft first the
first two questions are a one on one
trivia showdown whoever buzzes in first
it’s the answer if they get it wrong the
other team can steal and if neither of
them get it right the person busted
first wins the round and gets the pick
Matt Simon come on up again I’m gonna
bring a big guy so pretender in order to
meet you thank you complement form and
Emily can’t go wrong with that here we
go gentlemen
name three teams from after the 1967 NHL
expansion that either relocated or
folded this Quebec City they moved
there’s also Atlanta that moved and I
need the San Diego ball that is
incorrect
why they moved that is incorrect chance
to feel Quebec Atlanta and Hartford that
is correct Oh Don Terrell choked down
the Stanley Cup winner so we’ll have you
guys go back to your position at Diego I
will for gold
send you the gold key read your and just
up the next pic let’s go we’re going
wild with wild card won or wild cartoon
I leave it up with the my esteemed
partner to choose wild card to walk are
two gentlemen you’ve earned yourself
Gila Fleur Oh in here that was the best
hair in hockey
go ahead take straight seasons with at
least 119 points and ended this career
total with 1,350 three points flower won
five Stanley Cups all with the Canadiens
team blue how you guys going to counter
that well you’ve got an easy counter
we’ve got two easy counters we’re going
to go with the first still playing one
of the most legendary players in hockey
and use the second all-time scorer
already Jaromir Jagr Jaromir Jagr
consistency I’m loving that all right
John Andy come on up come on look at
Andy taking his time go now with that
Andy here we go it seems the Hart Trophy
for league MVP is always one by four but
what about the guys that are always on
the ice
who is the only goal in NHL history to
win the Hart Trophy more than once I’m
going to go with Ken Dryden
that is incorrect chance to steal ah
okay um
more than once I need your answer
Dominik Hasek is a wolf a guy looking a
little fake by the way only six
goaltenders have received the honor an
Hasek is the only two-time winner all
right have you guys go back to your
position as well die didn’t you realize
the drop the label team red you’ve
earned yourself the right to pick yes
we’re going to be I am so buzzing I
don’t care very wet haha I’m gonna go
with it wasn’t the time the number two
assists all time mr. Ron Francis Ron
Francis that’s a bull oh nice that is
above it Thank You Marian you might have
given them a shot here again back in the
joint you a mascot I don’t think she was
watching the telly do it you’re dealing
out of that girl Jean Loup your
counterfeit case oh we were going to
pick it maybe before yoga anyway so now
we’re going to go with a 700 goal score
Brett Hull Brett Hong golden bread do we
drop the ball there maybe I don’t know
Bragi words are so hard about it you’re
not they draw your dresses you know what
we do a brilliant strategist move you
will see shortly gentlemen it’s time to
step up your game on these next two
questions instead of getting one drastic
four correct answer teams will win true
also the winner of this round gets a
chance to really mess things up for the
energy by forcing the trade so they
could take their least desirable player
and swap it out for the other teams oh
no I will read out a question that will
require team to place four items in the
right order teams you could choose to
play the question or pass it being right
wins you the next pick this questions
for you team red when you’re a skilled
if these guys you don’t have to be tall
to make an impact place these four words
in order from shortest to tallest before
I give you your options you wish to play
before you could pass it over to a three
times then they cup champion a PR
specialist I think we put on plan I
think like a week book if there’s any I
know about hockey
it’s the hype of player there we go
Steven Stamkos Nathan Kirby Marte is a
Louie Patrick Kane go question for you
John
Oh
veteran and Crosby how well do you think
they would have done in the years where
Matt was playing in Detroit mid nineties
well in the mid 90s scoring was up
compared to today
so I would assume that they each get 10
for 20 more points a year pretty easily
I’m not sure if this is correct I think
maybe he not correct me I think I think
the goalies were good then so I think
it’d be pretty much just everybody the
general game that really takes time and
space away so maybe an extra 10 point
all right Wow 10 points yeah okay at
10:20 I wasn’t very good your honor
you’re on the on the ball there
all right team red we ask you to place
these fours in order from shortest to
tallest and ehlmann seems to be an
expert in this you said Martin st. Louie
Nathan Kirby Patrick Kane Steven Stamkos
and that incorrect Oh it is amazing
Derby at five foot five Marte and Sayla
we at five foot eight Patrick a and five
foot eleven and Steven Stamkos at six
foot one by the way gentlemen
the smallest player in NHL history Roy
warders was five foot three and he’s a
Hall of Fame goaltender Wow
I did not guys got that incorrect
therefore you get the next two picks who
will it be
so you have your pick that we already
know go for it okay well I played with
arguably one of the greatest leaders
ever Steve Yzerman the speech he made
2002 Cup when you believed in our team
we were down Oh – and Vancouver aces
guys if you keep working hard will get a
special bounce nick lustrum score from
the red line and that was it after that
we won the games we won the Stanley Cup
so we got a Stevie Watt and I think one
ugly the goal scorer yeah right Alex
Ovechkin and we’re gonna go with a
modern-day machinable go Lloyd what’s he
won what’s he wanted keep going wrong
with Rashard Rocket really how many
rings does he have mappings
I’m really really good
haha wedding we got you’ll know your
counterpick
well let’s I’d say it will go for an
oldie and a newie okay
and all the waiter with Bobby Hull
because the golden jet was was indeed
Bobby Hall was the NHL leading scorer on
seven occasions during the 60s and when
the Art Ross Trophy three times in his
career Bobby won the Stanley Cup with
the Blackhawks in 61 and was a first
team all-star ten times way to go Andy
your second pick guy I’m gonna go with
someone that could probably give them
more stirring speech than mr. Iseman
focus to Mach Messier Mark Messier the
captain
Messier won a Stanley Cup an impressive
six times capping both the Oilers and
Rangers two championships he played a
total of 1756 regular-season games in
his career second to only Gordie Howe
alright gentlemen
you’ve earned yourself to swap you could
steal anybody you want you could give
anybody away who would be ok easy so
we’re going to take you Sidney Crosby
from them
sure predictable now who are we supposed
to get back because our list is really
good you can oh they’re all good you can
give us Mario well really I get some
yeah I do
we give it up team blue ok you go for it
I gotta say I gotta give my captain
they’ll give you a good speech to you
buddy you’re giving away Steve Yzerman
Oh Matthew oh wow probably one of the
most surprising slots you’ve ever had
yeah but maybe you know what a mind
games that all right mind games it is
for this question the winner once again
gets two picks and they get to go on the
power play meaning to get to send one of
their opponents to the penalty box for
the next question this course is for you
gentlemen based on their most recent
contract love a little bit of money
place these any show forwards in order
from the highest average annual salary
per year to the lowest before I give you
your options you wish to play or you
could pass it or deprive anybody along
this line
kid you should you think I know faller
he’s pretty well they going back ten
years if you want to battle the house is
too cool oh man I’m a fifty fifty make
me jerk all guys player leg pad Oh your
options are Anze Kopitar Steven Stamkos
Ryan O’Reilly Joe Pavelski go playing
the trap some would argue gentlemen that
if Lemieux would have stayed healthy he
would have surpassed Gretzky or be very
close to it if he was healthy would’ve
been a better player or be considered
the greatest of all time
well I’ve played against both and to me
one-on-one on a one-on-one situation I
think Lemieux was scarier for me I’m in
stature to buy a sacred orb when I read
the skill level Gretzky was more of a
player that he sucked you in into an
area and then he found the open man yeah
so but a one-on-one coming down I’m
scared of Marilyn you know he was all
about vision though hey what I really
like about it yeah real quick let me or
Gretzky as your number I’m gonna go with
Gretzky because I think like overall
game was just out of this world and made
the players around him back we got here
alright team red we asked you to place
these any so Ford’s in order from the
highest average annual salary per year
to the lowest you said Ryan O’Reilly Joe
Pavelski Anze Kopitar Steven Stamkos
totally wrong
that is incorrect a little and they
Kopitar on Stamkos Ryan O’Reilly Joe
Pavelski and just on a side note if you
take into consideration the endorsement
money the highest paid player in the
National Hockey League is Jonathan caves
who earned thirteen point eight million
3m yeah we could not have been more
wrong that was we were going pre-tax Wow
you guys are mad that that was incorrect
there for you guys get the two picks who
will it be
yes yeah I’ll let you go first and I’ll
close it up what we want yeah okay well
we know them both anyway so we need your
face oh yeah it’s a let’s move util to
start all right and your second pick
second pick we’re going to go with a
great player with still in hockey today
Joe Sakic
Joe Sakic excellent team red you’re
fighting for your lives here we need to
solid counter picks what’s going on wild
card one
well Cobb one it was our one yeah
interesting guys didn’t pick the wild
card yeah we learned just how I Marcel
Dionne really the best player to never
win a cup beyond reached a career best
137 points in the 8081 season
had eight seasons with over a hundred
points and ten seasons with 40 or more
goals could take guy’s career second
take if you pat yourself on the back
Stan Stan was full-time scoring title
winner I will take him because go back
yeah and we meet we need Europeans we do
we need some European Flair ha ha I need
a great hair to pick yep we got much to
say and Asians it’s too much time Akita
Stosh excellent well done gentlemen
you’ve earned just sold the rights to
send one of these fine gentlemen to the
penalty box who will it be
you made the call on this one I made the
lab you already made the call back
dazzle there we go you know what like
since he beat me on that round I want to
assignment a go buddy like if I can say
why you’re frightened of me you take it
to for the TD to get in a penalty box
I’m sorry any bye-bye
team blue any regrets any finding
peacock on not only not we were kind of
worried he was going to get into a
bobble head mascot motorcyle dyeing his
head on the metal Barger Eddie silence
this just saw the way I look at it I
have more ice time let’s bring the game
let’s do this okay what we wanted
let’s see a few movie capitalize on
their power play in the speed drill
these have to answer five rapid-fire
questions
whoever gets more correct if the MVP of
MVPs Wayne Gretzky teammates go work
together on this one of course one of
our teams is short-handed
the good news for them though in the
case of its high they win here we go
gentlemen there have been more than a
hundred years of NHL hockey which is
plenty of time for some pretty strange
and outrageous stuff to happen on the
ice
how well do you know your strange
stories from the world of hockey
question one what did Curtis Lazar pick
up off the ice and eat
was it a cheeseburger or a chicken leg
that pretty confident yep okay good I’m
happy I’m getting the food questions
very question 2 in the 2014-2015 season
many players including Sidney Crosby
missed games because of what illness
mumps or mono no I’m gonna let you go
down to those pretty ears yeah I don’t
know maybe I’m not you do know more than
e cayuga with you on the house’s comment
i can assure you
question 3 during the 1996 playoffs what
did Florida Panthers fans throw onto the
ice after every goal was it plastic
octopuses or plastic wrap
look over here I’m so sure this one
question for at every Tampa Bay
Lightning home game
what kind of mascot will you find next
to the away team’s bench is it an
astronaut or a light bulb
none of these I love that word none of
these answers have hair so you’re all
confused cuz yes I know I know
question five at the 2002 Winter
Olympics in Salt Lake City what did the
ice maker bury beneath the ice to help
the Canadian team was it a loony or a
maple leaf it was the American team hey
let her go and you’re so witty
if it was a comedy show you’re a head
and you produce just relax you’re the
co-founder it’s true thank you for the
bio hi boys we’ll see how you did
question number one was it a
cheeseburger or a chicken leg team blue
you said cheeseburger team red you said
chicken leg the correct answer is
cheeseburger Oh
cheeseburger were you happy right yeah
okay good question number two was it the
mumps or mono team blue you said bumps
team red you said mono the correct
answer is Muntz rhythm on that one right
yeah I heard I’d rather or triple
arguing you know question three Team
Blue
you said plastic rats team red you also
said plastic rats the correct answer is
plastic rats the trend was started when
Scott Mellanby killed a rat in the
dressing room and went on to have a
two-goal game hahaha it’s amazing
question four on a side note if you get
this correct you will earn yourself the
MVP voice I’m pretty confident right now
yeah we’re very close and it comes down
to the magical question here we go
team blue you said astronaut team red he
said lightbulb correct answer was fast
turn on how do i how do I wait am i
visit Kappa beta Simon’s income for this
one there
everything’s amazing blue you’ve earned
yourself Wayne Gretzky thirteen straight
seasons with 100 plus points Gretzky
either shared or held 61 league records
upon retiring and you get someone with
good hair Patrick Kane yes way we lost
this you know what easy our list skills
will stand the test of time
two centuries from now yeah remember the
drop pool is now empty and I can’t wait
to check out your list let’s move on to
the final countdown here at his back at
full strength welcome back to the
penalty box like me peacock you got the
mascot question wrong he got it yeah
it’s kind of embarrassing but if I had
been here it would mean different story
because I followed him around his
research row I just had a curiosity
question number five I was at a loonie
or a maple leaf with the loonie that is
correct absolutely remain a difference
anyway whatever super guy our teams will
now write their jobs prevent the one to
creating their list of the top ten
greatest for us gentlemen you have 60
seconds and then we’ll see whose list is
the ultimate your 60 seconds starts now
okay winning the Stanley Cup takes more
than the ability to put the puck in the
net ask any of the game’s greatest fours
who never had a chance to lift hockey’s
highest honor for is like Pavel Bure two
back-to-back 60 gold campaigns no cup or
Marcel beyond who netted 731 career
goals and never made it past the second
round oh and you need a more recent
example Alex Ovechkin 750 goals seasons
and a big zero in the Cup department
bottom line calls don’t guarantee
championship if they did the team that
scored the most goals during the regular
season would of course whenever ear
instead seems like the 2012 LA Kings can
finish 29th in the goals for category
and still win Stanley Cup but I don’t
have the secret formula for winning the
Cup but I do know one thing a team is
only as strong as its weakest player and
in the punishing grind of the NHL
playoffs teams absolutely need
contributions in every statistical
category not just firepower
speaking of guaranteed championships
team blow let’s talk about your legs
about 110 percent very concert talk to
you about your list oh whoa we had some
debates Gretzky Lemieux here
go I listed so good we were able to
place Ovechkin at number eight where
should be number eight one thing to
mention hot young your Jaeger number
yeah Yammer Jaeger you spoke very highly
of Jaromir Jagr you put him behind the
rocket yeah Gerald first thing well why
are they old school people out there
that saw the rocket played just say how
great he was so we got to put the rider
an emu Meyers emotion he has a movie in
the name inspires countenance emotion
love you know so we wanted them high up
on the love it’s just going to be a very
tough sell for you guys Conrad talk to
you about your list well we’re a sales
team we’ve got a slightly different
approach we’ve gone from team chemistry
this team that put together so
superstars there also be able to play
together the egos plus acting gives much
better post match interviews is you the
merchandising money dude what puts the
good team on the ice oh yeah they always
talk about the Lawson if I had a circle
of life ours where they list it’s a
circle of life and look who’s number one
and I like the time I acting yourself
because you start it thing you’re going
for the bed there we got the best pairs
