That Yzerman-Fedorov-Bure

and defensive core gives them the edge for me.

Funny the defense core is the main reason I voted for the post-lockout team. Lidstrom-Doughty = Pronger-Bourque (dead puck era Bourque not the 80s/early 90s prime version), Chara-Karlsson > Niedermayer-Chelios, and Hedman-Keith > Leetch-Blake.

The dead puck era is missing Stevens. He was better than Niedermayer, Leetch, and Blake and has an argument against Pronger and Chelios.

Added.

IDK but I'd love to watch Lindros and Ovie play each other.

 

[Dustin]

Hasek and Roy vs anyone is a loss for the other team....

 

[Laveuglette]

Offense is a wash. Dead-puck defense and G are much better, though.

Really? I think it is being overrated in comparison to the opposing defense. I don't believe any pairing is better on the dead puck team.

 

[Martinez]

Looks even to me besides goaltending, I’ll take hasek

Yeah the added information now tilts in post-lockout favour for defence.

However, Dead puck era G>>>Post-lockout

 

[Sky04]

The Dead Puck Era only has 8 seasons to draw from....... post-lockout has 13. Not exactly fair.

 

[Sky04]

With the talent level this high, it's pretty much a coinflip.

 

[bathdog]

Inclined to go post-lockout for skaters, but want to go DPE with goaltenders included (though I think some may overstate the impact difference between lund/price vs hasek/roy).

They are certainly not lacking in top end talent though. If I extended it to 5 seasons before we would have Lemieux and Gretzky on there then it wouldn't have even been a question.

 

[Asheville]

The goaltending matchup alone makes this unfair.

Odd take. They were not that much better than the current guys.

 

[StoneHands]

Odd take. They were not that much better than the current guys.

Really? I mean, we're talking about arguably the two greatest goalies to ever play the game.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

yes they are. You are talking about the 2 best goaltenders in history...and to take it a step further, if you put 3 goalies on the DPE team you get the 3 best of all time (Brodeur).

Combined Hasek and Roy have:

10x 1st team
2x 2nd team
2x Hart
9x Vezina
6x Cups
3x Smythe

More than likely one goalie would be playing the whole time though, you're overthinking it. My point is on the ice against each other there would not be much of a difference, this isn't their careers facing off against each other in a series. I think you forget that Price won a Vezina and Hart Trophy in the same season as well.

Read my post above.

 

[CraigsList]

I think post-lockout favors with the forwards, but the dead puck era wins with defense and goaltending. Went with dead puck era.

 

[Mbraunm]

Easy choice for me-DPE team.

 

[ScaredStreit]

Bourque’s as good as anybody post lock out and Pronger in his prime is too (yes Pronger in his prime was better than Lidstrom).

It doesn’t matter which one of Roy or Hasek play...they’re still significantly better than the post lockout options (hell so is Brodeur ).

I’m a huge Price fan...but to say he’s on Roy or Hasek’s level-or even close to it-is just inaccurate.
