My way of ranking the best teams was to play against the All-Stars East and tally up how many goals I won by for each game. I did 5 min. periods & played 6 games in a row as each team. It's an imperfect metric but I did learn a lot. I'd say Chicago is the best if you know them inside & out. One thing about Roenick: as phenomenal as he is with one-timers, he's actually pretty bad at scoring solo with a deke in front of the goal. Oh and it should be noted, I never scored by crossing over in front of the net. It was always forbidden among my friends. We labeled it, "the b***h move", haha. Anyway, these are the results:
CHI: 6 5 4 4 1 7=27
DET: 5 4 4 3 5 4=25
VAN: 3 4 7 4 3 4=25
BOS: 3 4 3 4 4 6=24
CAL: 6 4 5 5 -1 4=23
LA: 4 2 3 3 4 5=21
MTL: 4 4 3 2 3 4=20
BUF: 2 8 4 3 1 2=20
PIT: 1 7 1 4 2 5=20
TOR: 3 4 3 5 1 1=17
