About to go out to the bar for the first time in years.

OK Bure was the best. Artem Chubarov the 2nd best.

Highland Pacific is a nice course

Fedorov's peak was higher, but Datsyuk's been more consistent for longer.
- KB3Point0


Crazy talk. Fedorov had ten 30 goal seasons in a 14 year span. People just remember him at the end when he was hanging on, collecting a paycheck. If it wasn't for him and Lidstrom the Wings never win a Cup. They turned that team around...even though Yzerman gets most of the credit.

But Datsyuk is amazing.

Never played there. I'm hitting Osoyoos golf and country club tomorrow. I've never played there neither.

He was never the same after the lockout.

No.

Bure.

Bure's maybe the most dynamic...but nowhere near the better player.

It's really hard to say. Fedorov was a 3 zone player and Bure wasn't for the most part.

Fedorov. I think it was 141 pts and he was the best defensive player in the game. I expected so much more from him. Can't remember what year......1994 maybe?
- golfingsince


'94, 120 pts, his career high. Hart, Pearson, Selke. He only cracked 100 pts twice.

My opinion in Booth is a third line LWer on the Nucks. IMO Higgins is the better player for that position and at his salary. That's my thoughts.
- LeftCoaster


Fair enough, not hard for someone to just think Higgins is the better player, regardless of salary. But I just think Booth is due for a healthy season this year and if he gets it he's going to surprise some Canucks fans.

Ok, then he was probably 2nd in scoring that year? Maybe Gretz had 141. That number stands out to me for some reason.

What's crazy talk is that you think that either one is that much better than the other. Both phenomenal. Too many similarities. Without Datsyuk there's at least 1 cup they don't win too.

What happens if Lou has a cold start? Fans gonna turn on him again pretty quick.
If Loungo doesn't play well, it's gonna be a messy situation

Then we'll trade him for Bernier and the rights to Kadri and Franson.

Datsyuk's a great player as well...no doubt. But I thought it was crazy that you felt Datsyuk had done it longer.

At least 27 isn't it?
