[Nosferatu]

I gotta lean Johnny, that first line is killer and he's better in net IMO. Both good defenses. Who knows maybe my hatred of the Red Wings is blinding me to how good Smitty's team really is, I do like Stevie Y though...

 

[UK Cowboy]

I agree with Nos that Johnnys first line is great, but I think Smitty has a little more depth both ways. I thought getting Smitty really did well with his WC's and picked enough good players to edge a heck of a team by Johnny

Smitty

 

[Mebert]

Both of these teams are killer, I think if we had done a single line then Johnny would take this, but I prefere Smitty's depth overall

Smitty

 

[MilkSpiller22]

Both teams are built much more on offense than defense... I see Johnny's overall defense being better though despite smitty having the clear best defender...

I don't really think either first line has a big enough advantage as they are both monsters, but I like smitty's second and 3rd line much more than Johnny's...

when 2 teams have the same strength, I tend to go to the team whose strength is stronger...

And I think smitty's offense(including Coffey) is better...


So I got smitty winning...

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

I'm voting for myself, my first line is killer, my goaltending is unbelievable.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I love Johnys first line. But Smittys rolls deep. Which I think is big. If I were Johnny I would not have had the young offensive talent on the 3rd pair. I'd have moved one up for Big Buff.

Also in this with scoring from all angles guys are gonna score. So assuming your goalie doesn't suck ass or your lines don't. It's not gonna be much of a difference maker. Smittys lines and goalie is good enough.

I lean Smitty.

I say smitty. Johnny has some youth that hasn't reached its potential yet

 

[Nosferatu]

Congrats Smitty, no love for Johnny, gotta say i'm a little surprised it was so lopsided.
