Just to possibly stir some action on this one:


2 things I like about Victoria:

Top 4 D
-Obviously Orr helps, however the other 3 should all be capable in their roles. Great puck movement and sound defensively.

Fit of offensive lines
-They are well thought out. Top line has a bit of everything across the aboard sans possibly heft as I'll have to go back and brush up on Oliver.

1 thing I don't like:

-Overall fit of some players for Imlach's squad. Malone, 2nd line, Simmer and Bondra seem like odd balls but again, I could be off base a bit.


2 things I like about Quebec:


Plante over Holecek
-Goalies can be great equalizers and while this isn't a massive gap because Holecek is a solidly average G here, Plante is someone capable of stealing a game.

Top 4 D balance
-Each pairing has a really strong stay at home defender, who can keep the game simple as well as an apt puck mover capable of passing or skating the puck up the ice.

1 thing I don't like:
-Very little scoring from wingers. This would be a roster I'd point to as having legitimately below the bar scoring on the flanks.
