[UK Cowboy]

Again, great job by Ritz, Gold is just too loaded

Gold

 

[Ritzarmy]

Wish we got to change our lineup but oh well.

I vote Ritz.

 

[Nosferatu]

Tell me what you want switched

 

[Ritzarmy]

Tell me what you want switched

No need to do anything. I got it.

I switched Kane and Mogilny. Then I switched Gainey and Heatley.

 

[Ritzarmy]

My team can score. My Left wingers can score, my Right wingers can score, my Centers can score and I even have great scorers/assists guys on my D. I feel gold picked a large D guys but I think that will play against him when it comes to speed. More 2-3 on 1 breakaways for me.

 

[Gold Rush 86]

I have myself in this matchup. I think I have the better O, better depth and better goalie. Ritz has more guys that score on D than I do but I don't see anyone on his team that can go out and put fear in other guys eyes. To me Lidstrom is the best D player on either team.

McSorley would beat the chit out of anyone on your team.

 

[Gold Rush 86]

McSorley would beat the chit out of anyone on your team.

I would love to see him fight Chara.

Gold owes me a new shirt. I just spilled soup on myself, laughing so hard that I don't have guys who put fear into the opponents. 1) This is hockey, guys don't get afraid often. 2) McSorley is the guy tough guys get afraid often.

 

[Nosferatu]

I would love to see him fight Chara.

McSorley is a top 5 fighter in the history of the game, Chara is not in the same league!

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I think Golds top 2 lines are strong enough to make a difference.

I think Ritz has the better bottom lines and I think his 4th line owns. But a good 4th line has to be a tiebreaker not a main edge.

Golds big defense with skill works here. I get Ritz argument but Golds D are good as I said last round.

Gold would have possibly the best team if Toews was his 4th line center over Marleau. Don't get using Marleau at center personally.

 

[Gold Rush 86]

McSorley is a top 5 fighter in the history of the game, Chara is not in the same league!

Chara is a lot bigger and my guess is he has a way bigger wing span. So when they got grab each other I would think Chara would use him wingspan to his advantage to get more hits on McSorley.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

So yeah I went Gold.

Great job on both teams though.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

my biggest problem with Ritz's team is that his 2nd line needs protection... Crosby is great, but he might be the softest player I have ever seen or heard of... McSorley is one of the better enforcers, but as a 3rd line defenseman, he wont always be in to protect, in fact the 3rd line defense is rarely in at the same time as the top 2 offensive lines... So I think Golds physicality will be too much for ritz team...

I got gold for the win...

I actually drafted Marleau at LW and Nos put him at C. I was gonna tell Nos to change it but just kept it. I was actually looking at Toews or Staal at C but just decided to draft Elias at LW.

Yeah I had plans for Marleau possibly too but it has to be as a wing. His size and speed as a 4th line wing would be great.

I was surprised when no one snagged towes who I hate btw. I think he'd be perfect on your team.

 

[Nosferatu]

Chara is a lot bigger and my guess is he has a way bigger wing span. So when they got grab each other I would think Chara would use him wingspan to his advantage to get more hits on McSorley.

Bigger doesnt mean jack squat, Mike Tyson is the nastiest fighter of all time and he is 5'10.

 

[Nosferatu]

I gotta lean Goldy in this one... Congrats on the win Gold!
