Ritz is riding the hot wave, he gets my vote here

 

[UK Cowboy]

I think Ritz has the best player, but I have the better overall team

UK

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I've got UK. Personally I hate that UK has Brodin on his 2nd d pair(I'd probably not use him at all) but Orr and Borque are just so fucking good.

I also like UKs lines better. Ritz has Gretzky but Rocket, Sakic and Zetterberg are all considerably better than Tangauy. And he's got a slight edge at 2nd line.

Both 3rd and 4th lines have parts that are sketchy. Duclair for instance requires a lot of projecting. But Federov is a fantastic 3rd line center and that was huge for UKs depth.

 

[Ritzarmy]

I vote myself. My offensive weapons are insane (not saying UK doesn't have a great group) plus I have some excellent defensive players who also can score. Mike Green is a excellent puck handler and shooter. Jonathon Quick is not proven enough for me to consider him a great like either of my 2 goalies. I will be playing either goalie depending on matchups and the hot glove/stick for the week. Like Scarface I like all my lines. (that's a coke reference) My defense with Lindstrom and 2nd line (debated about 1st line) Karlssonn is one tough defense.

He might have a better offense (I disagree but hard to argue with a guy named Mr. Hockey) but my defense is pretty darn good. Hope hockey is like football where defense wins championships because I got the Broncos D and UK got the Panthers offense.

It's hard for me to imagine my squad losing a defensive matchup when I have Orr and Bourque....

 

[Mebert]

This is one is coin toss, and for me in a close matchup I will always back Defense, I have UK

Your defense is great. Lindstrom is one of the GOATs and there is no one better than Karlsson these days offensively. But Orr is best defenseman in this draft with Borque in the top 4 and you could even formulate the argument he's second best.

I like your team a lot. I just think his is a little more well rounded. And I had UK team ranked highly. So it's not like your losing in some match up of two bottom tier teams. His is excellent and barely gets he edge in my opinion.

Does Orr play defense? All he does is kill guys. I figure he would stab The Great 8 and get tossed.

Cant argue with that. Well I could but I am not Nos

 

[femurov]

I have ritz in a very close one.

 

[Nosferatu]

Hard to vote against the great one and I loved Bure but Rocket and Orr on the same team is scary good, both great teams, this is the toughest matchup so far for me.

I gotta lean UK

 

[Nosferatu]

We need this game decided before we can move on

 

[Pack 500]

I like Ritz' team depth. Ritz

 

[mr.hockey4242]

We need this game decided before we can move on

Whenever we do I'll need to change my lineup.

 

[Nosferatu]

Remember when we have 10 teams first one to 5 votes wins.

And diaper

 

[Nosferatu]

@Ritzarmy text Milk and Smitty we need this decided.
