Special teams would be listed here if both teams provide them.

Otherwise, do so in your post.

(Likewise, indicate captaincy in your posts. If both teams do, then the standardized line-up op will be so updated.)

Note: The GM is not the coach. Imagine what the coach would do.

One thing I really like about the Rubber Puckies is the versatility of my blueline. Every defenseman of the group is either good or great defensively, and all of them are capable of moving the puck to some extent.

Coulter's puck moving is probably the weakest of any of their attributes, but even he wasn't a total moron with the puck on his stick. According to previous ATD bios, he was Top-10 in points among defensemen five times (6, 6, 8, 8, 9) - certainly not great at this level, but shows that he was at least competent at moving the puck. Coulter was also called a strong skater.

And of course the blueline is backed up by Martin Brodeur, probably the greatest puckhandling goalie ever (his opponent here Plante, was a pioneer of puckmoving from goal, however). Having Marty in net allowed me to feel good about having a more defensive-oriented bottom pairing.

As I said elsewhere, while everyone on my blueline can move the puck with efficiency, my blueline does lack high-end offense outside of Eddie Shore and to a lesser extent Borje Salming, which is why I made sure to have a forward on the point of my first PP.
