The match-up between both our forward crop will be pretty close but I think my team has the tougher and more rounded blue-line compared to the Red Wings. Also, we have a godly 1-2 punch of Niemi and Smith in net, up against the goalie duo of Bobrovsky and Gigure. Best of luck to NyquistIsMyGod.
The match-up between our forward cores will not be close. You are not better in net either.
Jonathan Toews has 6 goals and just 22 points in his past 36 playoff games.
Ryan Kesler has 5 points in his 9 playoff games.
Eric Staal hasn't touched the playoffs since 2008/2009 and is coming off his worst year in 10 years.
Fact is, you have three centers here. Yes Staal's played the wing and Kesler a bit here. Both have slown down. Both are playing a different game.
Henrik Zetterberg shut down Jonathan Toews last year. Z's line will be going against this line. Hernik Zetterberg has the highest PPG of any of these guys this season and is known as a playoff performer. You also have Zach Parise on the wing, an elite two-way guy. Blake Wheeler's size and speed will be on the right side.
Second line is cool. Not bad.
I have a superstar in Ryan Getzlaf, who will finish 2nd in points this season. He'll play with Martin St. Louis, teh leading scorer since 2010 and two-way speedster with 50 points Clarke MacArthur.
So so far I've had the clear edge on both the top lines.
Your third line has kids. Not much defense. Kids. My third line is Alfredsson, Legwand Nielsen. All three have hit 50 points this year and have fantastic two-way games.
My fourth line should be able to control your fourth line easily with speed and defensive hockey. It's got speed for days. Jason Chimera, Darren Helm, and Michael Frolik are fast. They can score. They check. Again, fast.
Your defense is solid defensively. Not much offensively. I have legit offensive guys (Campbell, Zidlicky, Markov) and sound defense guys (Gudas, Greene, Faulk). All my guys can skate, and play in both ends.
Goaltending isn't a 1-2 punch in the playoffs. Sergei Bobrovsky is quite clearly the best one here.
Honestly,
should be over the
Better players. Better playoff performers as well.
