Hockey Randomness

Just read an article on the NHL app "Statistical analysis confirms Howe is greatest player ever" Somewhere, mikey weeps I'm sure some case could be made with an emphasis on longevity, defensive and physical play. It would be kind of weak probably, but I could see an attempt being made. Quality of c...

The one without Crosby and Malkin...? That's the choke...? Bad omen since they're basically playing without Crosby and Malkin now. Checked a score sheet lately? Not this one. Crosby has actually been awesome in the series. Malkin has been dominant since Murray gave up that first bad goal to Ward. T...

Yeah, that's not an uncommon theme in historical circles. Lemieux is regularly regarded as the best one-on-one player in history, if that's such a thing. One of those hypotheticals, Magic vs. Bird type of deals...where you're playing a one-on-one game of hockey to save the planet, who is your "one"....

Yeah, now that, the Polak on Dumoulin thing...that has a pretty fair chance of being a board... the only explanation I could see is if the ref thought, "well, he was able to get his arm out to protect himself and he wasn't injured so it must've been ok." which imo is complete BS.

1. Gretzky
2. Orr
3. Howe
4. Lemieux

You can make a case to move them around some. I can't imagine there is much case for Gretzky at 4 or Orr at 4 even...but those are the four untouchable, no argument, no debate, "...then there's a noteworthy gap" best four players in hockey history...

Also, what were some of you expecting? For Murray to be Patrick Roy throughout the entire postseason? He's a rookie. He's going to make mistakes. He's going to have flaws to his game. He's 22 god damn years old. Correlation of between people calling Olli Maatta a future Norris winner vs. people cal...

I legitimately don't understand why people are calling for Murray to be benched. We're one win from clinching the cup... So...trade him while his value is high? Technically speaking, we could trade him right this very second...there is no such thing as a "trade deadline" that's just the last day a ...

Really sad to learn that Gordie Howe has passed away this morning.

A legend in every sense of the word. RIP #9.
