-------------------------

Order goes goalies, defenseman, forwards.

The list is who was picked first out of their respective groups. I will leave the topic up for debate but IMO Lidstrom far out-picked Staal

 

[TheRobotDevil]

gotta pull for elias

 

[The Q stache]

Team Lidstrom, though I have strong ties to both teams

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Lidstrom. Stamkos playing with Henrik and St. Louis? If there is a line out there that was made for this type of game that's it.

Better goalies.

Better defense.

 

[Maverick426h]

There's no question that Lidstrom picked the better team from the goalies right on out.

 

[puckhead]

OV, Staal and Nash are built for games with no defense.
they could run wild.

 

[maddogmark25]

Team Lidstrom in a rout

 

[dash]

I like Lidstrom's team for a Stanley Cup run, but in a one game river hockey exhibition, Team Staal has some guys who can light it up. I'll go with Staal.

I agree with this.

 

[Maverick426h]

Team Staal isn't very balanced either. It's almost a team full of goal scorers with no playmakers.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I like team Staal.

Corey Perry, David Backes, Rick Nash, Ovechkin & Chara.

I hope there's at least one hit in the game.

Something tells me Boyle, Karlsson, and Letang will have the green light jump into the play and help move the puck..

 

[Maverick426h]

Obviously. You didn't even mention Green. But name me one pure playmaker that they have at forward other than Giroux?

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Paul Stastny.

dont count out elias and stastny but I can see giroux making a big impact hes the flyer i hate seeing on the ice the most for a good reason

 

[Maverick426h]

Meanwhile, Team Lidstrom will counter with the playmaking abilities of Henrik Sedin, Marty St. Louis and Brad Richards. They make up three of the top four in assists so far this season.

 

[Ho_Brah]

Team Lidstrom by a Minnesota mile.

Uhh you forgot Kopitar.

That's it Team Staal is going to have let Perry & Backes loose. They're going to have to hit Team Lidstron if they're going to have a chance.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

I think team staals goalies may be a little more geared for this style of game a little better defensively to not that they play defense in the all star game

 

[Maverick426h]

Uhh you forgot Kopitar.

That's it Team Staal is going to have let Perry & Backes loose. They're going to have to hit Team Lidstron if they're going to have a chance.

Uh huh. And they have Yandle, who leads all defensemen in assists. Not to mention Lidstrom himself, who is probably the smartest player in the Nhl.
