@HILITINGHOCKEY These guys are competitors, this isn't backyard pond hockey, they get fully into it. There's face washing every few minutes, that has 0 hockey value, dick move really, but widely accepted; for 60 minutes the other team is the enemy, they look at it that way to win.
@DumpThePucks luck to be on a line with those 2 to just tap it in is very fitting. He's like Chaisson that one year. Better hope McDavid and Drai don't fall off historic pace or Makar and Hughes will definitely catch up and pass him. (They will)
@JimmathersYNG@TimmysSens@Caniac16 Lol jim I watch him every game too, he doesn't throw hits like this. Sen boy has a point. Cousins was probably chirping big time on him, it's not like it's a bad thing Chych stepped up
@WaveIntel@GinoHard_@JLazzy23 Yeah id think the defensive metrics should go up, extremely hard playing good D rookie year as you get used to the talent jump of competition
@HTTR1987@GinoHard_@JLazzy23 Love how people argue against this, it's so obvious that goals are more valuable than assists but if you're comparing a goal scorer to an assist merchant, that latter's fans all the sudden get blind to it. If was on same team would you rather have a 50/50 guy or 30/70
@NHLrumorsX@AndyGraz_19@5StevenSiegel5@HawkEmDownChris You're kind of proving my point. Stats were inflated in the 80s. They were just all better. Have you seen goaltending back then? Slapshots with no screen on the ice (not elevated) scored regularly
@DonkeysRHeros@ComingInHotSens@SIASport Looks more like a hug here.
But this is actually a good photo moment capture, and yes everyone except sens fans and people who think hockey is too violent think this was 100% legal, it's not even debatable
@SamWatterson@Cream43560@AndrewPetcash@dklineii Goalkeeper doesn't do much except prevent people from just kicking it at the net from wild distance. You're beating the defence not the goalie.
@OilerAnalytics Must be nice having McDavid on your team. But yeah Drai is pretty good.
Matthews is too, Matthews gets slight edge because he has the ability to score 69 goals.
@JFreshHockey So he's carrying the team that much? That's even more impressive. And he's drawing the top d lines against so in theory should be easier on the rest of the team, their ex goal regression (to increase) will be scary for rest of league
