Team Big vs Team Small

[Ceremony]

Size trumps skill in this case. Team big.

[HockeyThoughts]

Ryan Miller is 6'2 175lb.. Kinda large.

Tim Thomas is 5'11. Much smaller.

Jonathan Quick is 6'1 ..He would have evened these teams up real nice.

[Roo Mad Bro]

Small teams D would get forechecked to death.

Dat 4th line...damn.

[CaseyPierroZabotel17]

And based on your average size, you should be including Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Crosby as I said.

What you need to do is set a bar for big/small, and then pick the best player from that group. Because you've made a poll that people are voting on, and while people are voting you keep changing the teams.

Yeah probably shoulda thought it out a bit better lol. Adding Toews and Datsyuk added another inch and 6 or 7 pounds to the forward group. That's why it's closer to Crosby territory. It was definitely harder putting together the small team. Shoulda just made a "medium" sized team I suppose, but that defeats the purpose I was going for. Size is the obvious winner it would appear lol.

Big Defensemen > Small Forwards

Easy win for the Big Team!

Toews is bigger than Crosby. Crosby is the same size as Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

Team big with the sweep

[Micklebot]

OVECHKIN - KOPITAR - JAGR < STAMKOS- DATSYUK - ST.LOUIS
Stamkos and St.Louis are the deciding factors here.

KOVALCHUK - GETZLAF - PERRY < SEDIN - SEDIN - P.KANE
Sedins are both close to pt/g guys still, Perry and Getzlaf have trailed off. Kovalchuk over Kane isn't enough to make up for that.

NASH - THORTON - FRANZEN = PARISE- TOEWS - EBERLE
Can't decide here,

LUCIC - BACKES - DOAN < SKINNER- GIROUX - SEGUIN
Giroux and Seguin tip the scale for me.

CHARA - WEBER > TIMONEN - OEL
Clear winner here. No contest.

E.JOHNSON - MEYERS < BOYLE - KARLSSON
Again, clear winner here IMO.

HEDMAN - BYFUGLIEN > CAMPBELL - ENSTROM I give the edge to the diminutive guys here, but I can see going the other way.

RINNE SMITH > MILLER HALAK
Not sure what Miller to expect, gave the nod to the Rinne tandem.


Going line by line, I like the small guys, but I'm not sure the defense can hold up against that many big forecheckers. Team small would need to end the series quick to have a chance, if it goes to 7 they've lost.
