Bit of a Younger fan but mine kinda revolves around the 2011 and last year's cup run for the B's.
C - Patrice Bergeron: I've always been on the front of a good Defense wins it all, and to me Bergy is the epitome of it all.
Wings - Recchi and Thornton: I found it incredibly fasnicating to see old man Recs' on the ice especially during that run he had with Marchand and Bergy. Shawn Thornton was someone I loved watching, especially when the Merlot line was at it's peak with Paille and Soupy.
D - Boychuk and Chara: Again, Big bodied Defensemen with Howitzers or Johnny Rockets if you will, hammering you from the point.
G- Tim Thomas: I love me some Tuuks..but Thomas was always something else..the acrobatic saves, checking one of the Sedins into the ice, fighting Carey Price..so much fun.

I'm 30 now and I got into hockey pretty late so most of my favorite players are still active. I'm gonna go with childhood players that I remember or I liked.
C - Mario Lemieux - With big family ties to Pittsburgh, the hockey talk was always about Mario or Jagr.
W - Jaromir Jagr - With big family ties to Pittsburgh, the hockey talk was always about Mario or Jagr.
W - Martin St. Louis - As a young kid in the Tampa area, one of the few players I remember from the late 90's Lightning is St. Louis. I remember his jersey everywhere. I liked that he was small dude who could score.
D - Nicklas Lidstrom - Even though I always disliked the Red Wings, I loved Lidstrom and always pretended I was him if I was playing defense.
D - Chris Pronger - Even with his dirty reputation, who didn't love a huge dude who could hit as a kid?
G - Patrick Roy - As a kid, whoever played goalie pretended he was Roy. Period.

How the heck did I forget about Marty St.Louis, honestly would have him instead of Cammalleri. Loved St. Louis when he played.

St. Louis over Cammalleri would have been a good choice. But, hey, I changed my center before anyone noticed, so go for it. Trades are cool.

LW- Markus Naslund, loved the West Coast Express as a kid, and he was the first and main piece of it.
C- Stu Grimson, the guy was an absolute treat to watch in a fight. He ain’t called the Grim Reaper for no reason!
RW- Teemu Selanne, all around likeable guy with an absolute knack for scoring.
D- Scott Niedermayer, smooth skating offensive defenseman that I always enjoyed seeing fly.
D- Chris Pronger, the work ethic and sheer terror for opponents made me enjoy watching him.
G- Dominik Hasek, my favorite player of all time, his style always made him my favorite to watch.
