Right handed team vs. Left

[authentic]

Similar to the all-time Canada team vs. World, we could agree the left handed team is better. But thought it would be fun to throw some teams together, the right handed team may even have a more imposing top 6 forwards based on the following lines…

Left

Hull-Gretzky-Jagr
McDavid-Crosby-Richard
Malkin-Beliveau-Makarov
Sakic-Forsberg-Kucherov
Bure, Fedorov

Lidstrom-Orr
Harvey-Bourque
Potvin-Robinson
Coffey

Right

MacKinnon-Lemieux-Lafleur
Ovechkin-Lindros-Howe
Kovalchuk-Yzerman-Bossy
Selanne-Oates-Hull
Sundin, Getzlaf

Makar-Chelios
Doughty-Shore
Karlsson-MacInnis
Fox

I know there are some better right handed players earlier in history I’m likely forgetting, so with help filling in the best possible roster could this team win against the left?

Orr is a southpaw who played the right side.

You’re right I wasn’t even paying attention to sides here.

How about the goaltenders? Roy and Hasek for the lefties, Barrasso and Tony O for Team Righty (unless you put in Fuhr)

I didn’t even add goaltenders here as I feel that’s too heavy in the lefties favour. We can go with those though for more fun

Come to think of it, team right could just one time their way to victory couldn’t they?

 

[Michael Farkas]

Not if it's Hasek or Roy vs. those relative clowns haha

Team LHS has a much, much better defense and goalie combo.

This is why I didn’t add goalies really.

Is there any player, who can play both hands? Except goalies

You'd have to go back to the flat stick era most likely. Gordie Howe was known to switch handedness on breakaways to fool goalies, but I feel like he's always a righty in the pictures I see of him

Chelios also could go lefty if impeded on the right side.

Would not want to be on the ice against righty's 2nd line.

Front row seats would be cool though
