Just a couple things I would like to point out.

First, is that m0pe's roster (1A) has only 2 forwards that penalty kill (Couturier/Foligno). In a draft where every team is quite good everywhere, it seems significant to forget about one aspect of the game. Compare that to Bergeron/Marner/Kopitar/Kapanen on the PK, and I am quite confident I would win the special teams battle.

Second, is that Matthews in 8 career playoff road games vs Boston (where Boston can stick Bergeron on Matthews), he has 1 goal and 1 assist. History tells us that in a Bergeron/Matthews matchup, Bergeron has always come out on top (as much as that hurts to type).

Both teams are excellent, but my team (1B) is built to excel in these matchups!

M0pe has the better team

Robertson and Shesterkin

I think anyone disregarding this PK stat is just totally neglecting the entire purpose of roster construction in these games in favour of names

People neglecting a better roster in favour of a roster with better name value? ..... could never be a HF fantasy draft vote.

Although I personally don't think PK is that massive of an issue, I just think team B is clearly better. Even with the massive advantage team A has with 2nd pair RD

I also think B is the better team, best team in the draft

The last 2 Norris winners, 2 Selke level centers one being Anze Kopitar on the *third line*, special teams well thought out and constructed, much more playoff success on the roster, the top goalie in GSAA 5v5 this year, and one of two guys that has had Matthews' number for years.

Both teams are talented but

Yeah, this is why I still stuck with A. Rust actually has been a PK regular on the past, but Pitt needs him more for offense now, but on a super team he’s be a role player again. ERod also PK’d in Buffalo.

We also have PK beast Alex Tuch.

Thanks for the votes y'all. Redemption from being out R1 last game with my no defense teams.
