In the battle out west, luongo81's Ultimate Collection entry tried to pull away early but jowlsisacanucksfan's Certified kept pace. Schneider may not have had teeth, but it had heart. In the end, Hansen prevailed comfortably with the endorsement of its closest rival.

Canucks Round Closed

luongo81's Hansen Ultimate Debut Threads: 9 (jowls; wick; bimola; opie; andro; cheat; NHL; powell; vadim)
jowlsisacanucksfan's Schneider Certified Fabric of the Game: 6 (BFan91; spud; bonnev; warsaw; rice; jafi)

Congratulations to luongo81 for your iconic Jannik Hansen patch. It's a swatch that's helped to bring a lot of attention to the last of our 30 NHL teams...not to mention some serious bite!

Stick/glove/pad/blade/multi-patch rounds (or a 'Best of the Rest' mega-round) all sound great, but you get to take us in any direction you choose.

I'll be hands-off until we do the 30 Team Best in Show Playoffs, so it'll be up to each subsequent King of the Hill to decide where this thread goes next, if anywhere.
