ICE NUTZ NHL / WHA HISTORIC TEAMS SET 1

Picture Bobby Orr rifling a game-winning slapshot past Patrick Roy. Or, Jacques Plante denying Mario Lemieux with a beautiful glove save. Imagine what might happen if the ridiculously talented 1983-84 Edmonton Oilers offensive juggernaut laced it up against the savagely intimidating 1973-74 Philadelphia Flyers, also known as "The Broad Street Bullies". Now these and other fantastic matchups can become reality with ICE NUTZ "HISTORIC TEAMS COLLECTION". Pit them against each other, or see how they matchup against current players. Each HISTORIC TEAMS SET features twelve of the greatest hockey teams of all time...

Set I:

2006-07 ANAHEIM DUCKS: A talented and physical group with great goaltending. Teemu Selanne leads the team with 48 goals and 94 total points.

1969-70 BOSTON BRUINS: Phil Esposito (43 goals) and Bobby Orr (87 assists) are the leaders on one of the greatest teams in NHL history.

1988-89 CALGARY FLAMES: An exceptionaly deep team with great defense. Joe Mullen has 51 goals and 110 points.

2000-01 COLORADO AVALANCHE: Joe Sakic leads this talented group with 118 points. Patrick Roy is brilliant during their Cup run.

1995-96 DETROIT RED WINGS: The greatest team to never win the cup. A 62-13-7 record breaking regular season only leads to a major playoff let down.

1983-84 EDMONTON OILERS: Gretzky produces video game-like stats (87 goals + 118 assists = 205 total points!). The Oilers are a dominating offensive force of nature.

1959-60 MONTREAL CANADIENS: A balanced team with a dominant goalie. Jacques Plante wins the Vezina Trophy. Jean Beliveau leads the way with 34 goals and 74 total points.

1979-80 NEW YORK ISLANDERS: A dynasty is born. Bryan Trottier has 62 assists, 104 total points and grabs the Conn Smythe Trophy. Mike Bossy scores 52 goals. Billy Smith is scrappy in the net.

1993-94 NEW YORK RANGERS: An exceptional blend of talent and physicality. Messier, Graves, Leetch, Zubov, Richter are rock solid.

1973-74 PHILADELPHIA FLYERS: "The Broad Street Bullies" live up to their moniker. Their physical brand of defense is un-rivaled. Dave Schultz has 348 penalty minutes. Bernie Parent is amazing and pockets both the Vezina and Conn Smythe trophies.

1991-92 PITTSBURGH PENGUINS: A sleepy regular season leads to a 4th place Wales Conference finish, but the giant wakes up big time in the playoffs. Lemieux has 87 assists and 131 points. Goalie Tom Barrasso proves his worth in the post-season.

1962-63 TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS: A deep and balanced team. Frank Mahovlich has 36 goals. Red Kelly adds 40 assists. Near-sighted Johnny Bower and Don Simmons prove to be an exceptional goalie tandem.
