    70s Canadians. Better chemistry and defense. ThePens would see a better defense than they saw vs. Minnesota and Chicago. Pittsburgh's vital offense would be denied by the Habs d of Savard, Lapointe and Robinson. Montreal had better 2way firwards such as Corryer, LaFluer and Trembly to shut down Pittsburgh's top lines. PLus the Habs have an advantage in goaltending. Ken Dryden is definatly supior to Tom Barasso. Habs in 6

    80's Oilers. Those Leafs teams were similar to the 70's Habs teams in the case they both had great defenses. Toronto had arguly the greatst goaltenbding tandum of all time in Johnny Bower and an aging Terry Sawchuk, a great defenseman in Tim Horton and grind it out forawrds such as Dick Duff, Andy bathgate and Dave Keon. Still Edmonton could beat good defenseive teams. As they showed when they beat the Isles. Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Anderson, and Tikkanen would be enough. Still it'd be a tough series. Oilers in 6 or 7

    80s Islanders. A teams w/so much chemistry and balance. Picture the Pens but 3xs as good and alot more chemistry. 80's Isles in 5

    70s Flyers. Bothw ere tough grind it out teams. But Philly had more deptha dn could grind it out w/anyone. Not to mention parent in net. Philly in 5 or 6

    Scott Stevens, of path. The Devils are starting to be mushy. we choose somebody to tough up the different group and coach them who's boss! I propose, Rupp and Clarkson combat, yet Stevens is one frightening guy! He can hit you so no longer hassle-free, AND he's a mind-blowing shielding and offensive defenseman. he's so stable he has by no skill had a minus season in his finished 22 season occupation! Stevens is THE Devils captain. he's the perfect chief we've ever had.

    The Penguins would win it all. Mario and the boys were just too big, strong, fast and tough.
