note: Placement in the line-up hierarchy is not necessarily indicative of ranking at the position. Line-up is subject to change by the moment per my whims.

Actual line-up for this week will have to wait another day or so.

All I can say right now is that Pierre Crosby will be starting in goal.

Comparing Roy and Brodeur, to me, is like comparing two different sunsets... They're both stinkin' amazing in their own way...

That being said, I'd take Roy in his prime over Marty in his prime... Don't get me wrong, Marty is a solid goaltender, but Roy was much better at stealing a game.

The best game-stealer though, from the time I've been paying attention to hockey, had to have been Hasek. I"ll never forgive him for the 1998 Olympics.

Notable differences between the proposed top 4 lines:

PMullings Canucks
------------------------------
Fenwick vs Slater
Cox vs Gautier
Himsworth vs Dubois
Warren vs Showler

Debate!

good point about Hasek
when it comes to these debates, its really just "subjective" (sorry i couldnt resist...)
IMO:
to play in stanley cup game 7 as underdog: Roy
to begin a franchise back in the day: Brodeur

Canada draws the World Champion Czech's, the Div. 1 Champion Belgium, and a familiar rival in Germany for the opening round of the Season 8 WC's.

Oh....My.....God....

I will NOT give you the satisfaction of a "that's what she said" ...

That's NOT what she said!

Then you must be doing something wrong.

Or maybe she did say that just not in the way you'd brag...

OH MY GOD! What the hell are you doing?

I've thought that before. Never had a lady say that haha. They do know that... nevermind. Won't go there.

Thanks PMullings for giving Pierre Crosby the start. Glad to see he played well in his first NT action.

Did he ever!

I would have given him the start but his last name gives a bad taste in my mouth
