I think Gretzky's team wins with the edge on defense. Goalies are voodoo, Hasek and Roy could both steal the show so I just ignored them. So long as they're playing with today's rules I think Gretzky's team wins. It might be a lot tougher going against the bigger guys if they played with 90's rules where a lot more obstruction was let go and there was a red line, but many of these guys got by just fine in that era.
Well, you could probably just cross Messier off, he'd be suspended after his first accidental elbow, same with Stevens and Pronger.
I think the second team wins if the first team actually plays by todays rules.

The tall team would be insane to play against but I think the short team has too much skill to vote against.

This poll is impossible. This is a very good poll, OP. I can't decide. The short team has, by far, all the best players of their era, with the exception of Lidstrom.
I'm leaning towards the short team because of Hasek and Orr.

What about everyone who's 6'1 ½?

They missed the 6'2 cut. They'll forever live their lives half an inch under the manmore height.

The one with Orr & Gretzky, but their team also has a much larger pool of players to choose from. Make it 6'0" and over vs 5'11" and under.

That would be drastically unfair for the 5'11' and under, the 6'0'' team would have all of the big 4 and literally every single one of the best goalies and defensemen of all time lol
Yep. I originally had Brett Hull with Yzerman and Datsyuk as well but decided on Kane.
Those were my choices, not necessarily picking all the best players for each side hence the current/all-time. Also Modano was not better than Matthews now. I also don't believe MSL and Iginla were better than those other 3 you mentioned.
"Now" Matthews is leading the league in goals after about 25 games vs Modano having played a FULL season, scoring over a PPG (38G in a DPE) while playing a strong 2-way game under Hitchcock, and oh, captained his team to a Cup/SCF while he was at it (23P in playoffs).
Iginla's peak season won the Art Ross and Richard with 50G with Craig Conroy as his C. Was also robbed of the Hart as we all know.
MSL won the Hart, Lindsay, and Art Ross
MacK, Bure, and Datsyuk dont have a Hart or an Art Ross. But yes, all came close.
I'm aware of all their accolades, they really are all close enough that different opinons are warranted. However in Datsyuk's case it's pretty clear that MSL was not a better player, Iginla was closer though and on the same level of MacKinnon and Bure.
Also regarding Matthews, he's first in goals per game since entering the NHL and has been scoring at over a 60 goal pace for 70 games now, while playing a dominant two-way game. He hasn't got to go on a long playoff run yet but I'm sure he'll do just fine there as well.
