For the last couple of years, we’ve been having fun with the new format of NHL All-Star Game by drafting our own teams. Let’s cap off our coverage with a statistical analysis of who would have won if our two teams had actually faced off. Our readers were pretty split as to whether Jackie or Steve had selected the superior group of All-Stars. But let’s dissect the teams with some fancy maths to find out whose team was most likely to win the big game.

Let’s take a look at the two rosters and their stats from the real NHL All-Star Game.

Team Jackie

Steven Stamkos (TBL) – 0 G, 1 A, -1
Claude Giroux (PHI) – 1 G, 0 A
Evgeni Malkin (PIT) – 1 G, 1 A
Joffrey Lupul (TOR) – 2 G, 0 A
Marian Gaborik (NYR) – 3 G, 1 A, +3
Corey Perry (ANA) – 1 G, 1 A, +1
Jamie Benn (DAL) – 0 G, 0 A, -1
Tyler Seguin (BOS) – 0 G, 1 A
Logan Couture (SJS) – 0 G, 1 A
Milan Michalek (OTT) – 1 G, 1 A, -5
Scott Hartnell (PHI) – 0 G, 2 A, +2
James Neal (PIT) – 0 G, 1 A, +1

Brian Campbell (FLA) – 0 G, 1 A, +7
Zdeno Chara (BOS) – 1 G, 0 A, +7
Alex Edler (VAN) – 0 G, 0 A, +2
Ryan Suter (NSH) – 0 G, 1 A, -2
Keith Yandle (PHX) – 0 G, 1 A, -5
Kris Letang (PIT) – 0 G, 1 A, -4

Jimmy Howard (DET) – 3 GA, 0.786 Sv%
Jonathan Quick (LAK) – 3 GA, 0.769 Sv%
Carey Price (MON) – 3 GA, 0.800 Sv%

Team Steve

Henrik Sedin (VAN) – 1 G, 2 A, +1
Marian Hossa (CHI) – 1 G, 2 A, +3
Daniel Sedin (VAN) – 1 G, 1 A, +1
Jason Spezza (OTT) – 1 G, 1 A, -5
Phil Kessel (TOR) – 1 G, 2 A
Pavel Datsyuk (DET) – 0 G, 3 A, +4
John Tavares (NYI) – 1 G, 1 A, -3
Patrick Kane (CHI) – 1 G, 0 A, -1
Jason Pominville (BUF) – 1 G, 1 A, +1
Jarome Iginla (CGY) – 1 G, 2 A, +1
Daniel Alfredsson (OTT) – 2 G, 1 A, -1
Jordan Eberle (EDM) – 0 G, 1 A, -1

Erik Karlsson (OTT) – 0 G, 0 A
Shea Weber (NSH) – 0 G, 0 A, +2
Dennis Wideman (WSH) – 0 G, 1 A, -2
Dion Phaneuf (TOR) – 0 G, 0 A, -3
Kimmo Timonen (PHI) – 0 G, 0 A, -1
Dan Girardi (NYR) – 0 G, 1 A, -1

Tim Thomas (BOS) – 3 GA, 0.842 Sv%
Henrik Lundqvist (NYR) – 3 GA, 0.750 Sv%
Brian Elliott (STL) – 6 GA, 0.684 Sv%

Statistical Comparison

Team Jackie Forwards: 9 G, 10 A, 19 P, +/- 0
Team Steve Forwards: 11 G, 17 A, 28, P, +/- 0

Team Jackie Defensemen: 1 G, 4 A, + 5
Team Steve Defensemen: 0 G, 2 A, – 5

Team Jackie Goalies: 9 GA, 9.00 GAA, 0.786 Sv%
Team Steve Goalies: 12 GA, 12.00 GAA, 0.760 Sv%

So all the stats have been compiled but they don’t quite give a definitive picture of who would win. Team Jackie had better goaltending and defensemen but Team Steve had superior scoring and was completely screwed by having two goalies play the third period when half of the game’s scoring was done.

So who do you think would have won the hypothetical battle between Team Jackie and Team Steve?
