Of course the 2011 group was light years better in goal. We're talking Dan Cloutier for christ's sake.
For defense, I think the prime Jovonovski/Ohlund/Salo trio was much stronger group than the Hamhuis/Ehrhoff/Edler trio.
For forwards, people tend to forget is that those Betuzzi/Naslund teams also had the Sedin's developing on the 2nd or 3rd line as well and Linden was still a very competent 3rd line centre so the depth was at least comparable 7 or 8 forwards deep.
But enough of this. I feel dirty for this.
I know you kidding. I just felt dirty supporting anything Canuck related, and felt I had to justify why I know so much about the enemy. And no, she's long gone. Been married to a non-hockey fan for almost 20 years now.
