I love how even in a year where we're contending for the Presidents' Trophy and Malkin is contending for the scoring title you still find a way to dump on him. Your ability to stick to your guns and not disappear when things don't go to your narritive like holeinone does is impressive.

Plenty of times during Sid's lost years where the Pens dominated on Geno's back. But I appreciate the dedication to your brand.

I didnt say they didnt. Plenty of times also that malkin goes 10 games without a goal and mopes around the whole time. Though his attitude has gotten a lot better these last 2 years.

Well no Geno, but most likely the Rat on skates won't be bothering anyone either!

What top line in the NHL has a better pair (C + wing), than McD & Draisaitl?

Crosby, Shears
Backstrom, Ovi

Sven B cost the Nucks a 2nd or 3rd if my memory serves. Wonder how he would go on Sid or Genos wing??

Are you saying McD & Draisaitl is the best in the NHL?

Come on man it's grinder47, as in his favourite website of all time plus his IQ, and holeinone as in both of their favourite game they like to play after they met someone on grinder. Enough said

Draisaitl is a centre though, this wing thing is temporary for this year or until Eberle or Puljujarvi gets their $hit together. Next year Nuge will be the only $6 million dollar centre in the NHL. Draisaitl does look like a steal at 4th overall though from that year.

From a sheer talent perspective, it's between McDavid-Draisaitl, Backstrom-Ovechkin, and Seguin-Benn.

Scheifele, Ehlers is probably up there too.

I'd go with Kane/Panarin (not a center wing pair but essentially same thing). Third man on the line anisimov pretty solid too. I'd rank that as a top 5 line.

Oh good call. Scheifele is criminally underrated. Probably won't be for much longer.

Yeah, sucks WPG doesn't get as much exposure. There's some fun guys on that team. I like seeing Buff and Wheeler is one of the best wingers in the league, throw in Ehlers, Laine, and Scheifele... if they could get a real goalie, they could make some noise next year.

I wonder if they're getting tired of waiting on Helly. Thought he was gonna hit the ground running this season.

I also generally like the players in the Peg, although I really don't like Big Buff. He strikes me as a Richard.
