I agree, but I don't think the disparity is as wide as you feel it is. All of the players listed - Yak, Eberle, Hall, and the Nuge (IF he is capable of staying healthy, that is) are top line quality players (with superstar upside). That said, I think the Avalanche players you noted seem to be a bit more well rounded in terms of both offense, defense and grit.

IMO all but ROR have top line talent. But I agree that Avs 4 are more well rounded(Landeskog and ROR in particular are pretty complete players).

Oilers also have a Nurse now as well.

Not sure if anyone has asked this on this site yet but who would you guys rather have.

Yakupov, Eberle, Hall, Nuge

or

ROR, Landeskog, Mackinnon, Duchene.

I dont know about you guys but I would choose the Avs 4 over the oil 4 any day of the week.

Avs 4. No doubt about it.

They've had 4 coaches implementing 4 systems over the past 5 years. That is pretty damn difficult to build a team's confidence and structure when you're playing musical chairs all the time.

I guess so...I just get sick and tired of listening to Oilers fans.

Avs 4 under Roy or the Oiler 4 under Eakins?

Well there you go. The Oilers tie it up 3-3 in the 3rd. They were down 0-3 after 40.

Agree

Surprised it's so easy for you guys. I'd go with the Oilers players but it's close.

Its a pretty tough call here would be reasons for me not choosing Edmonton:
1. Ebrule's play will slow after a 1 or 2 seasons.
2. Yaks style of play will hurt him in the long run. The body can only take so much. (but I love the drive.)IMO has the potential to be better than the oilers lord and saviour.
3. Hall is good but I just don't have the boner everyone else seems to have for the guy.
4.RNH aka shoulders. nuff said. He needs steroids.

Whatta (frank)ing hilarious night of hockey, Oilers come back down from 0-3 to win in the third, and now Quick pulls a Toskala.

Thank god we traded for bernier not quick dodge a bullet there.

Has anyone seen that Jack in the Box add for their Late Night Munchie Meal Box?

Basically says if you are high and got the munchies then order Jack in the Box.

Talk about target marketing.

You guys are lucky, you have two #1 goalies.


But seriously, Bernier looks solid.

You always want to play LA early in the season. They always start off slow.

Reimer's biggest weakness is his lack of rebound control. Its like his pads are like rubber bands. He also isnt as good playing the puck. The leafs dont have that elite d that can help clear those rebounds or take out the fwds crashing the net. So when the d isnt that strong your goalie needs to be able to handle the puck as well as control those rebounds.
