Matthews is better than the only guy in the modern era to lead the NHL in goals 7 times and averages 50 goals a season over his entire career so far? Yeah, right. Keep that dream alive.

Backstrom's first three seasons were 69, 88 and then 101 point seasons and averages 80 points a year over 11 seasons. Lemme know when Marner does that.

Hockey is more than just points you know.

It's a matter of perspective though; to me, Datsyuk - after Crosby - is best player of last 15 seasons to play in NHL, and he never got 100points in a season.

Nice to see the Leafs can invite some of their Raptor friends out for their golf games this week.

Nice to see OV finally get one on Crosby. He's having a beastly playoffs.

Sadly, the Lightning, Knights, Jets/Preds look better.

Lmao basketball players don't golf although I do think Stephan Curry does and is half decent.

You ever see the compilation of Charles Barkley golfing? It's worth checking out for a good laugh

I have no idea how he is playing on that level.
i still have the Bryzgalov - Fleury playoff show in memory (5-6y ago?) where any shot on goal would go in..

I truly expect Fleury to be on his old level next year again..

Steph curry is really good. He’s competed on the web.com which is a tier below pga. It’s like the ahl for nhl.
Kyle Lowry also plays a lot and is pretty good.

It's fitting that it was Crosby that turned the puck over to Ovechkin for the game winner. OV needed to win that series more than the Capitals did.

I'm not sure I'd consider Holtby the best goaltender left in the playoffs. Hellybuck, and Rinne were significantly better then Holtby this year, as was Vasilevsky.

He might be last at this point.

I think Tampa will crush them. They are the better team by far IMO.

Helleybuyck (butchered it), Vasilevsky, Fleury have all been better than Holtby.

Rinne has been so god damn inconsistant... I'd but him last.

Remember when everyone was saying Girardi was washed up overrated poop and TB was dumb to get him?

I hate their depth on D.

If I'd be going into a conference finals, I'd definitely pick Holtby as my starting goalie.
(2. Vasilevskiy, 3. Rinne, 4. Hellebuyk, 5. Fleury).
