2015 NHL Franchise Tournament - FINALS, GAME 5 RESULTS!

[philpritchard]

So numbers... eight-time Norris trophy and five-time Hart trophy runner-up Brad Park is likely your 5th defenseman. Your defensemen have 45 top-five Norris finishes despite two of them playing before the trophy existed. It wouldn't be a stretch to say you have three of the top five defensemen of all-time.

Meanwhile, I have Bryan McCabe on my second pairing.

[numbers]

Yeah, Eddie Shore and Chara are basically goons in this lineup.

[philpritchard]

I feel like WhatIf hates all the guys I thought would be my top guys.

[Mecca]

All of my defenseman move the puck and get in on the play. Even if they let an opportunity go the other way, Miller or Hasek will stop em 9 times out of 10.

[numbers]

Bobby Orr's point totals when he was in his prime are so ridiculous.

They all look like bobby orr against the blues

My Penguins team appears to be as bad as I expected them to be.

Sim against the Blues team a bit and you'll feel much better.

16-0. Hat tricks from Lemieux and Crosby (who each notched three assists as well). Good suggestion, Skitch!

It's the ultimate cure all.

Guys, do I just post my team here or is there a site where we submit the roster?
Also, what are the rules on # of forwards, D, goalies?

Sign up there for free and create your team under SimMatchup -> Dream Teams. You need 12 forwards, 6 defensemen, 2 goalies, and 3 additional players at whichever position.

You are going to absolutely dominate this thing.

[southp]

Done. And I didn't even need Patrick Roy.

If you get to 11 and need one last person, I'll either give the Islanders or the Capitals a go...

Somehow I missed this post... do it! Either do one of them and we'll include Skitch's Kaius team (ha!) or do both of them.

I kind of want to see what would happen if Backstrom or Oates centred Bondra and Ovechkin.

[Kaius]

If Ruddo's in, I'm in. No way I'm letting Skitch field that team in the league.

[@SkitchP]

Done. Ruddo and Kaius are in.

[TBAMTS]

I'll set my team tonight!

So ten teams are ready to go. We'll give Kaius and Ruddo a couple days to get their teams in and we'll start the season on Monday.

Seriously, I know I keep harping on this, but the Leafs don't stand a chance. I would be absolutely shocked if they make the playoffs.

The Nordalanche have a pretty solid team, though.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I'll have my team by sunday
