[Cage Match Tournament] #8 Skinner vs. #9 Duchene
 

The inaugural Cage Match Tournament is here! Each week you will vote for the player you would most like to have on your team in a points only keeper league (no positions involved). The poll will be added pending the introduction article on the main page.

Psyched? You had better be!

Why are they all #8 vs #9?

You'll see why when the article hits the front page.

What do you think of the awesome pic? We'll pump this sucker up!

Toughest calls for me were this one and the Hossa/Zetts

skinner because his sister went to my uni and he's from my hometown :)

I cannot stress enough how amazing of an idea this is. Seriously. It's not only going to give Dobberites an extremely good of what this community's vast number of hockey minds think on all of the one on one matchups, but in a way it's going to answer a LOT of other comparisons that you won't necessarily see in a one on one cage match.

If Tavares beats Gaborik and then goes on to beat say Jamie Benn.....we also know that this community likes Tavares over Kopitar (which is a pretty legit comparison in my opinion).

Love the pic but feel bad for Pavelski :(

Included in the pic but not in the brackets....did he just miss out?

skinner can't skate with his head up... he's constantly spinning around like a ballerina and putting himself into dangerous situations. love his game, but i fear he won't be around long unless he learns to be in more control on the ice...

duchene easy.

Pavelski? Whatever do you mean? All I see is Giroux...

;)

Good stuff man...

IMO final four will be: Malkin, Ovechkin, D. Sedin, Stamkos
