Me

Bones in a close one

 

[obxyankeefan]

Nos

 

[Nosferatu]

All four of my lines are scoring machines and I have a pretty big advantage in net.

The speed on my second line would be so fun to watch.

I got me.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Fem

 

[Ritzarmy]

Got Femur but I do like Nos Defensiveman better.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I vote for the team that utilizes their sticks better

 

[tducey]

Femur

 

[Nosferatu]

I don't mind that I lost but I would like if someone could explain why.

Because my team kicks ass!

 

[Nosferatu]

Because my team kicks ass!

You've been hangin around Shane to much!

 

[femurov]

You've been hangin around Shane to much!

No... I said KICK ass, not pounds it.

I went back and forth the the match ups they're close close. While I don't like Kovy for the KHL thing. My biggest problem with Kovy on the devils. Was he had a bad habit of floating and was a defensive liability. That I thought would be exploited.I gave femur a very slight edge on the line match ups. The defenses aren't that far off. What decided it for me was McSorely. I had femur by a PP

While I obviously respect your opinion I think some people forget this is not a regular hockey series, this is essentially an all star game and when there is this much talent on the ice defense takes a back seat. McSorely was a great addition, he was a decent defender for the most part and was there to protect my guys and ruffle some feathers! I couldn't take #24 or I would have!

Thats where I look at this different. While theres a lot of talent on the ice. I cant look at this as a prototypical NHL all star game. Where no one plays defense or checks. I'm always going to factor in match ups and defense. Defense,forechecking and back checking play a major role in the flow of the game. When I'm voting I'm looking at match ups. My opinion may vary as you can see in my opinion on how my game would have played out. But we all have different perspectives when voting. I just cant say defense takes a back seat. I did love your team I guess we can agree to disagree on that

 

[Nosferatu]

Where no one plays defense or checks

I never said that.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I never said that.

I know. I do think we all view offence and defense and certain players different in hockey drafts. I think that showed in the voting where some leaned a little more offence. I leaned more defence. I wouldnt vote based on one player tho. Hockeys a team sport.

I think part of the misunderstanding is we debate Brodeur Hasek a lot. Hell we probably will until we're 90. And I think you know we'll both always enjoy debating that. But I don't hate Hasek and I don't look at things like that when I vote. If I were to have bias Messier would be on top of my list. My hate list is reserved for Rangers, some Leafs i.e. Tie Domi and a few Flyers.
