i'm not talking about "tough" though. any Cup contender has to be tough. i'm talking about the construction of the team. they're tough but not overly physical.

Chi as a very well balanced team... but they also have a "big" team ( was gonna say, big when you compare them to the Habs... that's a given).

I get what you are saying.

Still... I'd rather have one of those big teams.

Small guys that play big are great, small guys that play small are useless, as you've eluded to with exhibit DD and DB.

but you can't have too many of them, and you've got to support them with with big linemates.

i know, shocking that you need great players to win a Stanley Cup and that guys like Josh Gorges and Daniel Briere aren't enough to get it done.

i'd rather strive for that balance. i think it gives you a better shot. teams like St. Louis and LA are too susceptible to off-nights by their goaltending.

I know they can score goals... I'm talking about a SNIPER.

Agree.

And yes. Balance please.

Do we have a real sniper on this team ?
- WaterBoy

no. which is why they cannot score more than a goal per game on their 20 shots. whereas a team like Toronto can score 4. because they have the shooters.

And what's your definition of a sniper?

Well is it someone that scores 30+ goals?

Because one of them did it, the other one probably will and they'll probably do it again.
