20 in 62 but I get you.

That said Vanek is more successful in the playoffs than Nash.

Both players disappear in the playoffs, and that is apparently how we rate a payer now.

I don't understand why that should be dismissed. The ability of a player to show up when it matters the most should absolutely be a significant criteria when evaluating a player.

A far as being best center-captain..

Toews, Tavares, Getzlaf. I think I'd go with Toews.
- TheSabresTaco

I am leaning toward Tavares


it's so close between crosby, toews, tavares, stamkos and seguin though
- homiedclown

I go with the guys that have won. I understand some had better teams around them, but if we're going to say that guys like Ray Shero are overrated because they had guys like Crosby, then you can't turn around and make the excuse for another player for having a bad GM. If that's the criteria, then some players are good enough to make the GMs look good, and others aren't.

The reason I would pick Toews is that he shows up BIG TIME in big games. That's not to say that some of the others haven't, but he's done it much more consistently. He plays such a sound game to begin with, but as the games mean more, his play gets even better.

This might be my favorite Toews goal:

Funny you bring that up. I was getting aggravated that he'd been so quiet against them in that game. I was yelling at my TV for him to do something. He finally came through for me though.

yeah I almost bought his autographed jersey that night.

Well Leia and Han got married in the graphic novels so fill in the blanks.

All that old "canon" stuff is wiped out when Disney bought Lucas Films

3 but I wanna say its based on a series of 12.

A new movie will come out every 3 years so we are at least 18 years from any remake thought.

They're going to be releasing some sort of Star Wars movie every year I believe. Not all as part of the huge story, but offshoots like the already announced Boba Fett one.

Life is good for us old timers.

Isn't there supposed to be one before the Boba Fett one?

I think so, but I also heard the producer/director (not sure which he was) just left the movie, so who knows.

Nash is sp much better in the post season. He doesn't dissappear he just can't score. Vanek literally does nothing else

- buffalofan19

Because great players are shut down by the opposition every single year.

Stamkos this season
Crosby last season
Nash last season
Toews two years ago went two playoff rounds without a goal

It's another reason why depth is so important. Tampa Bay would he eliminated without there very talented 2nd line, because no matter how hot they are, you are gunning to stop Stamkos

- sbroads24

Nash has been playing extremely well defensively. However, I think that may be taking away from his chances offensively. He's being utilitized more to shut down Washington's top line.

I asked for him 2 years ago

Huge Surprise: Tom Brady lied to the League, The Fans, and everyone that listened to him explain away his rational for knowingly, purposely, violating NFL rules.

I hate the Patriots, but always respected Robert Kraft, not anymore. To still stand on his perch of Boston Self-Righteousness after his employees have been CAUGHT twice CHEATING is disgusting......

All SuperBowls won by the Cheatpatriots should include an asterisk!

The point isn't whether they could have won anyways, the point is integrity and they have NONE!

He'll look good stuffed into a trunk of a burning car.

Mccabe wont be on the team to start the season. Reinhart might not either. Lindback put up solid numbers on a terrible team but maybe GMTM has a better option. Trade grigorenko and/or the NYI pick this year. Stewart was good last season, doesnt mean hes going to carry the team, but he hits, fights, and scores occasionally.

TRAVIS YOST
Measuring value of Trade Bait players
By Travis Yost

Chris Stewart is terrible. The asking price for Chris Stewart – reported by our Pierre LeBrun to be a second-round pick and prospect – is insanity. Every year over the last four, Chris Stewart's teams has been territorially slaughtered with him on the ice. The 2012-2013 RelativeGoal% is something of a fluke, too – he and his teammates shot an unsustainable 11.85% at even-strength that year, and the predictable collapse in that number has meant a return to correlating possession/goal rates.
I'm not sure what the crazier part is with Stewart here either: the fact that he's always been deployed in an offensive role (and has never really produced), or the fact that he can't favorably drive play on a Buffalo Sabres team that's totally devoid of talent across the board.
