KDDRWINGS1 9 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) I know the season just started but since the "good" teams we've played haven't beat us yet, I wonder if we can beat ourselves.

Bowman-1 vs - - Babcock Osgood -1 vs - - Hasek Zetterberg -1 vs - - Datsyuk Holmstrom-1 - vs - - Franzen Hudler-1 - vs - - Filppula Drake-1 - vs - Cleary Draper-1 vs Samuelsson 1Kopecky vs 2Maltby Ellis-1 - vs Downey Ritola-1 - vs Hartigan Lidstrom-1 - vs Rafalski Chelios-1 - vs Kronwall Lebda-1 - vs Lilja Quincey-1 - vs Meech Ericcson-1 Kindl B. Smith-1 - Pyatt This is my first post so take it easy on me, it turned out nothing like I planned. Edited October 31, 2007 by KDDRWINGS1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norrisnick 1 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Scotty's team. Kinda unfair with the best defenseman, forward, goalie (gonna raise some eyebrows), and coach all on one side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arnoldbuck 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Along with the rest, welcome. The inter-squad game eh? hmm ... I think Scotty's team would win as it is set up. Especially with this seasons early start, I think to make it more balanced, Zets and Lids would have to be on opposite teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something similar I'd like to see is what one of our teams would be the best overall? Like in a fantasy world where our team from 1997 could play our team from 2002. (yes that would have 2 yzermans, 2 shanny', etc. but they would be different ages) Or any year for that matter. Doesn't have to be a year we won the cup, those are obviously just years where we had strong teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 (edited) Welcome to the forums. I'd go with Scotty's team as winning. Nice avatar by the way. I always like a good Dibert comic, even if business humor isn't really my favorite thing. Edited October 31, 2007 by Kp-Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it would probably be pretty close. Something similar I'd like to see is what one of our teams would be the best overall?

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 Disagree, I think the 97 team would win. There defence is much better and forwards are younger and as good imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J-Swift 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 Disagree, I think the 97 team would win. There defence is much better and forwards are younger and as good imo. The '02 defence had the Norris trophy winner and runner-up on separate pairings, with an up-and-coming Jiri Fischer playing far beyond his years. I think it'd be hard to say that the '97 defence was "much better" regardless of the fact that they had Konstantinov. That being said, I felt the '97 Red Wings felt more like a "team", whereas the '02 Red Wings felt more like the Yankees with the hired guns they had in their lineup.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 That's true, Konstantinov does it for me though, Vladdy, Murphy, Lidstrom and Fetisov was a fantastic defence. But I know what you mean, they seemed like a team, complete with every intangible. Europeans, North americans, Skill, grit, good goaltending, offence and defense. Plus they had fantastic chesmistry and always picked up for each other, had great role players and great leaders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 The '97 team had a better mixture of physicality than the '02 team did, as someone already pointed out. Also, Yzerman, Fedorov, Larionov, and Shanahan were better players in '97, especially Stevie before the injuries kicked in. Likewise, the top 4 defensemen were better in '97 than in '02. The biggest advantage for the '02 team is that Hasek is better than Vernon, and his playoff numbers were better than Vernon's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
