@leal_andre19@TheHockeyNews What a dumb statement by Hiller. How do you learn how to play in different situations if you don't see the ice in those situations.
@DetroitSebi@SleeperNHL@DumpThePucks Orr is the most complete hockey player of all-time at both ends of the rink with same level of offensive gifts as Lemieux and Gretzky. On bad knees too. Orr with modern training and equipment would get 200 points as a dman.
@Father_Of4TTV@FrankMassara@leal_andre19 How was Draisaitl in his first 30-40 games in the league?
Lol, team probably told him to spend some time with his family before they go back to Yukon.
Maybe he will play better in 2 years when McDavid is on his line. π
@walsha Players want the security & guaranteed payout of a long term deal with trade protection but are now abusing it to want out when they're halfway through the contract. You can't have your cake and it eat too. Tkachuk, Hellebuyck, Larkin all a joke. Sign a bridge deal instead then.
@EricRStPierre God, you people are not the coldest beers in the fridge. It is almost identical to the existing deal from 1951. He basically agreed to the exact same thing.
@thebishopfrank@adamscochran Not sure how you can discuss it within Canada without first talking to Europe to see if something is even possible, and if so what it is. How do you discuss something before you know if the EU would want to do it and what they think it would look like?
@SundinEra Agree with your list of targets. Given their need for a 2/3C I think Claude Giroux has an outside chance of being someone they show interest in. Skilled vet and still a 3C with his production, cheap cap and short term rather than bigger money & term for someone like Jenner.
@Jay_D_Rosehill Great move. Toronto's missing playoffs is a 1 yr anomoly like Florida. It was a perfect storm of things gone wrong w/ injuries, Matthews down year, wrong coaching fit & some teams overperforming in division. +McKenna +Raddysh +moves to come and they are 100% a contender.
@sportingnews@TheHockeyNews No Howe, Crosby, Roy, Lidstrom, Bourque, Bealiveau. That is crazy! Some had to be left off intentionally for clicks because no way someone created a list where at least Howe, Crosby and Lidstrom are not present.
@PierreVLeBrun I know there would be added travel costs for teams/league but a cross conference 1 vs 8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5 would be the ultimate. Then any team could face any team in the cup finals. You could see true rivals like Toronto vs Montreal or Edm vs Cal, Pit vs Philly etc play for the cup.
@VinceBasile87 @MinorMidgetGTHL@PBerce π keyboard warrior.
Bobby Orr as a D-man put up the equivalent of Gretzky/Lemieux stats in terms of how defensmen produced offensively. Look at the next closest defensemen playing during his era in terms of offensive production. Plus his ability to actually play D. 1 man pkill.
