Every ice hockey team will be doing something with girls. Whether it be ice girls like the Islanders or dancers like the Devils.

It's a means of trying to capture the female demographic and make them a part of the NHL fan base.

Ecklund is still as non-credible as always.

but you're right, you guys do owe us.


You can add Oshie to Backes in for Clarkson and Orr.

Berglund is a 40-50 point guy who hasn't scored over 40 points in 3 years.

Clarkson's a 30 goal guy!

He is when playing a top 6 role. The Blues haven't been using him that way lately. But he can play there and produce.

Any one of those seasons wasn't a full season where he had a 43 pt pace. His career average is about 42 points. My range is closer than the ludicrous one you quoted, which was my point, lol.

Clarkson is fine as a 3rd or 4th liner but you guys are paying him like a 1st liner, lol.

Most of time this produces catty jealous rhetoric. A lot of girls typically regard them as sluts.

Debatable - especially when a majority of ice girls are figure skaters. Ice Girls can be role models to younger figure skaters by giving young figure skaters and goal to strive towards.

Just speaking to experience. I have always had trouble understanding why they despise their own kind like they do.

What goal is that? Make minimum wage, be ogled by drunken creeps 3-4 times per week and shovel snow?

Kadri scores at a significantly better rate over his career while being 3 years younger. he's already the better offensive player and he's got another year or two before he even peaks.
- DoubleDown


Did you even look? Kadri scores ,016 more goals per game, or less than two goals per year more than Berglund. That's significantly better? Really? This is without even considering the role and type of minutes Berglund played last year and the year before and ignores that Kadri has substantially better linemates a good part of the time.

I'm not saying either is better but rather that some scouts will prefer Kadri, some would prefer Berglund.

That's the weird thing I find. A strip club seems to be no problem but an ice girl, a pretty girl on TV or in a magazine. The claws come out.

I wouldn't say half. I also wouldn't want to base my professional sports organization's marketing model off of that of a strip club.

Questions on that front really are - for how long, how much are the overpaid, and what is the cap situation

Most of them are students and its an easy gig to make extra cash. No different than working at a bar.

Figured it was an Ek rumor so I had to respond appropriately. Is it better if it is Kadri instead of JVR?

Except a bar generally pays 5x what they make and doesn't require them to be put on display in front of 15,000 people.
