I like that 1st line better.

Maybe you want Ken Hodge next to Ratelle. He brings the toughness needed and he's used to playing the role of ditch-digger.

I figure I need a line to go up against Leclair/Lindros/Jagr tho. The Carbo line can match up with Espo. I like my first and second line to put up points.

I don't think Ratelle needs help, that's overstated, he was a horse. And Gartner is feisty. Markus Naslund was 6 foot, 195 he's fine. Other than his top line, the other three lines won't physically overmatch my lines and I'm the home team.

That's all I got. I just want to say to the voters out there - you are beautiful, keep on keeping on.

Actually, I'll go with this:

Naslund-Forsberg-Makarov
Mahovlich-Ratelle-Gartner
Watson-Thornton-Hodge
Sid Smith-Carbonneau-Finnigan
McGee
Draper

Lidstrom - Karlsson
Vasko - Tom Johnson
Boivin - Konstantinov​

 

[tabness]

of all possible matchups Lindros gotta face Lidstrom and Konstantinov lol

Well at least the team behind him is deeper, has better goaltending, Coffey isn’t just old and hurt Coffey, and Jagr is there to help maintain puck possession.
