That team has some of the worst defense I've seen on here, but that top line would score a solid 100 points each. Reminds me a bit of the current ducks![]()

WHY VOTE FOR US?
1) Star power. Pittsburgh currently has the greatest forward (Crosby), defenseman (Weber), and goalie (Rinne) in the game all on one team. They also have a top 3 offensive d-man in Kris Letang, a top 20 forward in Ryan Getzlaf, a 40 goal scorer in James Neal, and 3 elite forwards in Michael Ryder, Nick Foligno, and Chris Stewart. Not only will this star power put people in the stands, but they will also provide a show that no other team can match.
2) Goalpalooza. Sidney Crosby finally gets two star wingers to play with in James Neal and Chris Stewart. Both are power-forward types that, when playing with a player like Crosby, can easily put up 30-40 goals. The second line puts together a top 20 forward with a 50 point scorer with a 30 goal scorer. With guys like Getzlaf and Foligno passing him the puck, Ryder will have a breakout year and has the ability to hit 40 goals. When it comes to defense, guys like Robidas and Letang will help put the last pieces in the best power play in the NHL. Robidas will shine next to Weber and has the potential to have a career year. If Letang stays healthy, he's the best offensive defenseman in the game.
3) Defense. In order to prevent the ****show of a performance that the Pens' defense had last playoffs, we have brought physical defenseman and fan favorite Hal Gill back to the team to play next to Letang. Letang and Gill will complement each other and will hold a chemistry as they had played with each other during the Pens cup run in 2009. We have also brought in Shea Weber, who will shine in Pittsburgh and will defend his status as the best defenseman in the game. In net is Pekka Rinne, who's superb goaltending will help the Pens exponentially.
4) Depth. We believe that we have three superb lines that we will go to battle with any day. If PMB is healthy, he can put up 50-60 points. Pascal Dupuis had 60 points last year and has the chance to do it again. Sean Bergenheim almost put up 20 goals last year in only 60 games, and with his new linemates he can easily score 30.
Why vote for the Pens over the Flyers? Better offense, better defense, better goaltending. If the Flyers could stop the Pens offense last year this year will be even worse, as Crosby and his new linemates will be having a field day against the Flyers defense. Another chokejob from Fleury? Won't happen with Rinne. But with the quality defense we have (2 of the 5 top defensemen in the league on one team!) I don't think we will have to rely on him that much.
The Flyers have a good lineup, but our lineup shows that we are the better team.
Vote
That's debatable. I think that Vitale is a much better player than Rinaldo as he can pull off a much better grinder game, Sutter is a great 4th line center but there is no reason for him to be behind Couturier much less Schenn, Fetotenko is solid but I think he will be beat on the matchup with the speedy Ferriero.Happy you posted. I feel this is a solid team but the depth isn t there for your foward.
Flyers 4th line
Zac Rinaldo(544,444(1))-Brandon Sutter(2,067,667(2)) - R. Fedotenko(1,750,000(1))
vs
Pittsburgh 4th line
Joe Vitale ($0.550m) / Nick Bonino ($0.700m) / Benn Ferriero ($0.700m)
I just don't think Pitts have what it takes to outlast Flyers. A tad too weak at the moment. Good luck Pittsburgh.

Offense is pretty even but I feel like my defense and goaltending are betterThat's true but you really can't say Sutter is your 4th line center or you have better depth when your 2nd is Schenn and his is Getzlaf. Though I like your wing depth better. Pretty Even matchup IMO
