Fair Deals Steve wroteCOLONMy D sucks and my forwards are pussies

LMFAO

You know what? I retract this statement

H2H-wise, your forwards are quite lacking in terms of what a stanley cup calibre contending team should comprise of. You got tons of elite/high tier scoring going though, but as Kareem said, I couldn't agree more: After nearly two years of my BBKL tenureship, I realize how important ur d-men are, as they are the ones you rely on for the bulk of your periph stats, and while having high scoring d-men might be kool, loading up ur forwards for scoring, and completing ur d-core with heavy heavy SHTOI-receiving/hitting/PIM-ing/BS-ing d-men are what gives u that edge on that very very close 8-7-1/7-7-2 matchup going into Sunday on a weekly basis. I'm excluding goalie stats in comparison because they can be so random.

KapG wroteCOLONSteve is just doing what Steve does ...making it seem like his team is not as good as it really is. I don't think Vancouver forwards even match up with LA. So I don't know how Steve could put Vancouver ahead of him.


So as not to get in an argument with anyone about anything, this is not a slight on Vancouver. The team is far better than it was and is clearly a playoff contender. I just don't see it as a top 2 in the west.

I think the two forwards units are pretty similar, it seems to me that I have the stronger top end, but weaker depth.

Vancouver

Ryan Kesler
Patrick Kane
Marian Hossa
Ryan Malone
Ryane Clowe
Ryan Strome
Brandon Sutter
Ray Whitney
Nick Foligno
Jack Skille
Colby Armstrong
Colton Gillies

Los Angeles

Nicklas Backstrom
Zach Parise
Mike Richards
Brayden Schenn
Ryan O'Reilly
Milan Michalek
James van Riemsdyk
Nikolai Kulemin
Curtis Glencross
Valteri Filpulla
Nazem Kadri
Ryan Jones

I tihnk you own the two best H2H players out of those rosters. I just see more fire power across the board on Steves squad.

That's why if you have elite scoring fwds and limited periph fwd goons, you can still expect consistent scoring during the week and that's something you just expect to follow through. I'm excluding goalie stats in comparison because they can be so random.

Shep wroteCOLONHuge deal. Lots of value. Hopefully Johansen and Silfverberg develop as anticipated. Plus a bunch of other pieces in there.

This'll take a couple years before we see the real winner.
