So against Brooklyn I'd suggest the following lineup to Arbour, at home (road can stay something like what's posted).

Tikkanen • Yzerman • Kurri
Goulet • Lindros • Larmer
Nash • Hawerchuk • Mogilny
Walker • Sanderson • Foyston

Potvin • Quackenbush
Tinordi • Hatcher/Egan
Ramsey • Svehla/Egan

Taking advantage of getting Potvin and Quackenbush together a lot against the Production Line at home.

I don't think Seattle needs Duchesne's firepower as much against Brooklyn, just play it close and counterattack.

In general, I feel my team is well built to handle Gordie Howe. I know in the original six days, the winger/winger matchup was big, whereas in the more modern game, it is the defense itself, but either way, my left wing and left defense goes deep in guys who would matchup as well as you could with Howe.

Sanderson of course is well known for not being intimidated by Howe and would pester him, so that's why he's gonna be in the lineup at least at home where he can get some matchups to shadow him. As Tom Johnson said "There was one player Gordie was not sure how to take — this was after I was finished and involved with the Bruins. That was Derek Sanderson, he wasn’t sure how to take him because he didn’t know whether Sanderson was going to hit him over the head, or spear him, or punch his eyes out. But Howe was the ultimate in physical play in the league at that time."

I'm looking to Tikkanen as well as being a super pest here, and Goulet and Nash in the roles they got on my team should at least be responsible enough defensively.

If Gordie wants to play down the middle, I'm more than happy in my top two centers (players really) Lindros and Yzerman being matched up against him, power (which was Gordie's nickname, but Lindros would be the one guy even more deserving) or silk.

Of course on defense, there are the tough mofos Potvin and Tinordi to have to beat, as well as Ramsey (or Quackenbush even on the road where I think he'd be best split up from Potvin).

Despite everything written about Walker's renowned defense, on the road, I like him and Foyston against Brooklyn's speedy but smaller second line, as the size issue won't be there as much.

I will point out that whereas the Production Line guys did what they did in real life playing with each other (and no Kelly on the backend), my guys generally are seeing an upgrade to their real linemates and at the blueline, except of course Kurri, but hey, it certainly doesn't seem that Kurri's stats are taken at face value given where he goes in this thing, because in the mid eighties you're looking at a 65-80 goal, 135-150 point player (per 80 game season) who was excellent defensively and only scored an extremely low 20ish% of his points on the powerplay. If peak Kurri is just a 50 goal, 110 point guy with Yzerman instead of Gretzky (and I think I'm being conservative dropping 15-30 goals, 25-40 points), that's still real good.

Same thing with Bergeron's line, I think he's taking a downgrade on Brooklyn as compared to guys he really plays with.

Lastly, while I made it a point to take good road performers mainly because the traits that factor into that were what I was looking for in this team style, I was cognizant that my teams would generally get voted lower in these things and have to win on the road as well lol :sarcasm:

To review:

NHL Stats

Lindros in his peak first five years from 1992-1993 to 1996-1997, was second in road even strength points with 150, three behind Jagr who played 175 games as compared to Lindros playing 149 (Lindros is obviously tops in this stat per game). Despite playing 26 less games, Lindros led the way with 73 goals as compared to Jagr's 70 too. Of course, his +54 was top notch, only behind Fedorov +66 and Yzerman +58 in terms of forwards (add Konstantinov +65, Bourque and Chelios +55 if you want to include defensemen).

NHL Stats

The number three guy in the Lindros timeframe was none other than Yzerman with 144 even strength points in 175 road games. To stretch it back some, Yzerman scored a league leading 334 even strength points in 366 road games in a ten year span from 1987-1988 to 1996-1997 (stats are even more flattering if you pick the shorter timeframe of his best offensive years), leading Gretzky who had 313 in 350 games (Lemieux had 265 in 257 games in that same timeframe which was pretty much his prime). His road +67 is also the best in that time frame until you get down to number 43 on that list Ray Bourque with +88 (Gretzky is -35 in that span, Lemieux +9). More impressively I think, Yzerman also co-led in road even strength goals with 151 of them, he tied none other than the premier goal scorer of that time, Brett Hull (Brett played one less game, but Yzerman also had 21 shorties compared to Brett's 11). Way above third place Stephane Richer (yes I got him too lol) with 120 and Mario with 113.

Of course, aside from those top guys, I spoke about the road performance of various players I picked when I drafted them. This team is built to win when not at home.

Brooklyn
I had an exhausting week at work, so not much time or energy now. Just one thing from now:

While focusing on slowing down Gordie Howe is understandable, leaving Ted Lindsay (probably the 2nd best offensive player in this series, unless you place an extremely high emphasis on either Yzerman's single season peak or Lindros' per-game pace) to run rampant against the likes of Svehla, Egan, and Kevin Hatcher is a matchup Brooklyn really likes.

I certainly didn't forget about the other two guys on the Production Line. After all, the Potvin • Quackenbush pairing at home is for the entire line. However, I think things are less of an issue on the right than the left. While Lindsay is certainly a great in his own right (same Abel), he has strong scoring before Gordie became the best ever in the fifties, Gordie Howe obviously was the guy of that line.

Potvin and Quackenbush also bring quite a bit of offense from the backend.

I do of course have right wingers Kurri and Larmer. They are top notch two way wingers of their time, and while Lindsay was tough as hell, he wasn't nearly as strong as Howe, I'm just less worried about the matchups here.

Interesting that you think Lindsay is probably the second best offensive player here, is this due to VsX/scoring placements? I just can't agree.

Even going with the VsX approach, I'd certainly argue that the benchmarks Yzerman faced were stiffer than those Lindsay did. Furthermore, Lindsay did what he did playing with Abel and later Howe, not to mention defenseman like Quackenbush, Kelly, and Stewart. Here are his points together as compared to Yzerman's. I think the massive difference in linemates and help on the backend during their best years is self evident. This is not to mention that Yzerman had contextual factors that saw him score less on the powerplay than most stars (the Wings got less powerplays for the first part of his best offensive years, when they started getting more, he wasn't playing nearly as much on the powerplay as other stars, and Fedorov and Yzerman were generally not playing the powerplay together), and of course the home/road splits and the reasons for those.

It's worth bringing up that we have Detroit sports writers that watched the Wings during the forties and fifties like George Puscas, Bruce Martyn, and Joe Falls (some of these even straight up covered the team at the time) who were already saying Yzerman had surpassed the Sawchuks, Lindsays, Kellys, Abels, Delvecchios, and so on by the late eighties. The actual question they asked themselves was if he was better than Howe himself (Puscas, the most restrained in his excitement, simply said to wait until Yzerman's career was over to answer that).

With regards to Egan, while I certainly took him for the big shot and big hits, from what I've read, it seems like he was a solid all around guy, that is what Joe Pelletier's site says. He was regarded well enough to be traded for Hollett after all (and he didn't match Hollett offensively). He's again, one of those guys who played on a weaker team and was relied on more than he probably should have been. He won't have that issue here.

For Svehla, well I'm just not getting the questioning of his defensive prowess here at all. We likely have all seen him play a bit, we know how he played against guys like Lindros. I'll just quote Hockey Scouting Report for him:

"Svehla is among the best in the NHL at the lost art of the sweep-check. If he does lose control of the puck, and an attacker has a step or two on him on a breakaway, he has the poise to dive and use his stick to knock the puck away without touching the man's skates.

He is a terrific skater. No one, not even Jaromir Jagr, can beat Svehla wide, because he skates well backwards and laterally."

Won't argue too much on Hatcher. At his best, he was a beast of course, but the Production Line is going to make you pay for even a small mistake, not to mention a Hatcher sized mistake lol. That being said, Hatcher's on this team to play special teams more than anything, Egan and Svehla are the bigger even strength guys.

All in all, I just feel that of all teams in this thing, I got one of the best lineups to handle the Production Line matchup, and built the team with depth in mind to win the other matchups.
