Our 9th match of the week is 1958 (4-11) vs. 1985 (12-2)

Remember to vote based upon the professional careers for all these players and not just their NHL careers.

Remember for current players to vote based upon career projections and for retired players to vote based upon their careers.

If anyone wishes me to make any lineup changes, let me know. Some of these players are played out of position to best fit different players into the lineup.
