Sure but is Toews a better two way forward then Stamkos? What makes Stamkos better then Toews?
- SuperSchennBros


Toews is a better two way forward the Stamkos. What makes Stamkos better is his ridiculous ability to score goals.

Because you probably are a better skater than he is.

Actually, there's really no room. He'd be behind just about every other option, including guys like VandeVelde. Not a good enough skater to be effective.

I must have missed when the Pens dropped Carcillo. I see the Hawks picked him up again.

I'm sorry people. I think Taveras is really good young player who is only going to get better. But he is not better then Claude Giroux. No way, no how. Someone at TSN is on drugs.
- MJL

I hear this comparison a lot, but honestly, no one should care which player is better. Both are elite offensive centers with strong leadership qualities. I don't think, if placed on two identical teams, one player would make that team noticeably better than the other player would.

It amazes me that anyone chooses to employ the man.

Hell, I didn't even realize it was Comcast employing him. Hockey writing to Comcast must be what Applied Sciences is to The Wayne Corporation.

No. Giroux is clearly better. And you are on drugs if you think otherwise.

He's a veteran beat guy with a known name. That's what Comcast SportsNet has done. They find a veteran writer, toss cash at him and call him an insider. Did it with Ruben Frank, Panotch and Salisbury.

It's good for getting quotes and news, but not really analysis.

I think it's up to each individual what they care about. And I think Giroux is slighted on that list. And the reason is that Giroux has carried the Flyers on his back. He has elevated his game in the playoffs in the past. Taveras, though he hasn't had that opportunity, has not. And it remains to be seen if Taveras can match what Giroux has done in the games that mean the most.

Take some of the CEO's $30 million annual salary, he'll never notice.

You know who I hope cares? Giroux. He seems to be ever better when he's got a chip on his shoulder. He really likes to show people up and say, "Yeah, you made a mistake, Jack"
