NHL Thread: ENTER NOW FOR ANNUAL LEAFS MELTDOWN

only as a driver

 

Marchand is someone it’s so hard to get an accurate judgement of. On one hand his 200 foot metrics are excellent but you wonder how much of that is Bergeron pulling most of the weight.

 

he is overrated, when you look at his overall stats it’s not that impressive. He just had a couple of incredible seasons and people see the potential of greatness in him but he never quite gets over the hump.

 

If you were to rank these four goalies, how would you rank their careers? (also feel free to guess who each is)

 

2, 4, 3, 1

 

1, 2, 4, 3

 

Who knew we were such big Pekka Rinne fans in this thread

Here's the list

Spoiler

1: Price
2: Rinne
3: Quick
4: Bishop

 

I think most in here think Chara is overrated. He should also have dozens of suspensions.

 

Knowing that I feel very good about my list

 

Yeah your order is basically the order I'd expect those guys to be ranked by the average fan

 

Also my hot take which I've stated in here before:

Mario >>> Gretzky

 

There’s no bigger indictment on a ton of NHL fans being super lame than this girl becoming popular.

 

I couldn't even get through that

 

No idea how anyone could watch this all the way, that is awful. Not even close to funny

 

But It’s good that women are getting involved. Good for the nhl

 

I don’t think this is redeemable but go ahead and post her good stuff

 

Of course, just wonder if the teams with cap space will even spend. Shitty time to be a FA

 

I gave you a pity like

you just like her because she Is the only one to mention the panthers

 

I assume she’s a flyers fan? i’ve never seen her before.

 

No argument there

 

Made it through...7 seconds.

 

I knew it, mtl is not bad just unlucky. Fucking refs

 

There was a pretty in depth article a few months ago in The Athletic. Unlucky, sure, but only in the sense that Montreal shoots and controls the puck/scoring chances more than it should vs their point totals. But the main difference between Habs and successful teams was that they lacked elite scoring/talent. The system works, players work hard but simply don’t have the high end talent to finish as much as others.

 

I was kind of kidding but that is spot on Champ

 

Yup. Carolina has similar issues.

 

Not from now on. Svechnikov, Aho and Teravainen are legit first line players.

 

Teravainen is probably my favorite non pens player...well outside of the flower.

 

Just fucking go to the playoffs your dumb shits

 

Ottawa LA Anaheim NJ and Buffalo going to dress even more AHL’ers to enhance lottery chances if forced to play.

 

Forget this season and do whatever you can to be ready to start next season in time

 

When would the draft happen?

 

How would they do the draft order

 

i would go, best player from Detroit goes to Detroit, best player from mtl goes to mtl..etc

 

I like the notion of putting 24 teams together for the playoffs. No need for Detroit or Ottawa or LA to be playing. Hold a lottery but only the bottom 7 can get a top 3 pick. Can’t have Boston or Colorado winning the lottery and going on a long playoff run.
