Hockey Randomness

is it Alex Smith/Joe Theisman bad?

Postby **shafnutz05** » Tue Nov 20, 2018 8:48 am

It wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be based on some reactions. Still bad, though.

Honestly, the thick hockey pads hide the worst of the actual injury, but his agonizing screams were the worst part of that to me.

They sent everyone to intermission at the time of the injury...it was a lot...

Someone in the arena also went into cardiac arrest around that same time.

From what I remember there are two ambulances at each game. I think they were required to stop the game because both were being used.

Word is that Hitchcock is replacing McLellan in Edmonton.

See, everyone, it could be worse.

Why doesn't Hitch stay retired...

Can you imagine what his weekly grocery bill looks like?

Chiarelli is going to burn that whole goddamn city down before he loses his job.

Oh, Yeo fired? Hurry up, JR.

Oh boy....Hitchcock today:

“I told the players today that I can get them to a place they can’t get to themselves. But they have to buy in and it’s not going to be comfortable at times.”

Looks like Joe Thornton just tied Mario for career assists.

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 6:34 am

Yeah and Ovi tied Mario in PP goals the other night

Postby **NTP66** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 6:38 am

Meh. Would have been more impressive had he done it nearly a decade ago.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 7:30 am

Only took Thornton 591 more games. Ovy only needing 108 more games is less than I would have expected.

Ovechkin is a top 30 player of all time on merit...

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:01 am

He's also a top 30 Canaan on merit...

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:13 am

Yeah, well, be that as it may...he's getting into some pretty lofty territory from a historical perspective...and I don't rate his type of player as highly as others, and he's still way up there...

I think I already have him as a top-5 wing in the history of the game...

How many of your top 5 are pre WWII?

Postby **Gaucho** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:20 am

Howe, Richard, Hull, Bossy, Jagr, Lafleur, Kovalev. Nope, not Top 5.

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:28 am

Lol'd at Kovalev irl

YouTube · Postby **mikey** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 9:30 am

Howe, Hull, Jagr, Richard...after that I think you can make a good claim for Ovechkin right here.

Then Lafleur, Makarov, Bossy in some order after that...
