Is it easier to ban him or type what you did? just curious the process of banning, is it a button?
- A_SteamingLombardi

It's a button, but I'm having a break from outside chores and it's kinda therapeutic.

Yes, that's very good spelling, now lets see if you can spell Whiner Gretzky
- Makita

THE GREAT ONE

How's that?

So you're saying you like one of them?
- A_SteamingLombardi

Sh!t you got me, screwed that didn't I.

PP Subban and Chatfield . Linemates Brisebois or McEneny as his line mate
- VANTEL

That looks about right. Looks like they are done with Comets D like Billins and Nilsson. If they sign Raddysh they should have room to resign McEneny. A young rookie D will be there next season either way.

If you define whining as setting almost every offensive record imaginable, to such a degree that most of them will never be touched...then yeah.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

Gretzky is this era wouldn't have came close to any of his records ...he benefited from being the best player in the most offensive era ever

There are actually people down south that pay attention to Skip Bayless and keep him relevant.
- TheTaoOfSemenko

Good point

Would be nice to have 1 or 2 D that have some AHL experience. More then 2 years.

They should sign McEneny and also send Biega down there and start grooming him as a player/coach like Baumgartner.

Tryamkin was a 3rd rounder i believe.
Wikipedia say's 66th overall.

How about this... No interest to learn our language.

Goldobin has tasted the Koolaid, different cat

I love what he has to offer but could GAF if he ever comes back.

- Redmile247

True, but even for his era he was magnitudes better than everyone else. Only Mario ever came close. poop, even in his last season with a wrecked back he was still almost a PPG player.

Skill and vision wise Gretzky was 20 years ahead of time.

- TheTaoOfSemenko

Oh for sure Gretzky was far better than others in his era ....but if he would have been far better from say 1997-2017 he wouldn't any of his records

Yes

You probably think Elvis is still alive, and there never was an astronaut that walked on the moon.
- Makita

Asking for a factual report and making a connection to conspiracy theory nutjob fallacies may put you in the MT GOP candidate Gianforte territory of thinking. Get a hold of yourself my man. The Tree debate isnt worth going down on.

Watching Tim and Sid today talking about how they have noticed how Crosby has taken a lot of crap but hasn't gone female doging at the refs as in many of the past years.
- manvanfan

There probably isn't a player in the NHL that takes as much abuse as Crosby.

The best players in the world want to be in the best league in the world period. I don't care where I am from if you want to be the best you play in the NHL. I know the neigh sayers will comment but the KHL is nothing compared the NHL.

None of those records would exist in the first place in your scenario lol. He may still have even set them but not to the extent he did, or he might not have had the same team to play with and despite being so good may not have set any, or modern equipment, training and nutrition may have elevated him to some other ridiculous level. Who knows? I will say this though: breaking 400 goals by a team in a season has happened precisely 4 times in NHL history. One guess which team did it and who their leading scorer was.

I couldn't read more than 2 pages of this same crap.


Tomorrow can we talk about:

what Canuck players under contract are having for lunch?
what prospects are having for lunch? (protein loading)
what potential draft picks might possibly be having for lunch based on their nationality?

I am interested to see what anonymous people will speculate what others will have for lunch.

Can't get enough speculation
- A_SteamingLombardi

Yes
- VANTEL

Doubtful

Nhl nowadays have these things called goalies ...and Defenceman ...

Makita isn't the kind of wimp that just abuses the ban hammer like that other Jabroni ref you guys use.
- Larsson_fan

There's other refs?

THE GREAT ONE

How's that?
- Larsson_fan

More like G O A T

Just finishing the Erie vs Windsor game. Vilardi was impressive. His edges are brutal. So smart though and tough to handle. I doubt he will ever be a Center in the NHL. If he is there at 5. JB better take him. Chatfield looks like a solid pick up by JB.

The guy had zero interest in adapting to the western culture. That's a huge flag there.

For most of us older guys Krutov was the same way
