Yup

Then Ferland beats up Backes

- LeafGuy89

you guys sure could've used Ferland in the playoffs; Ferland in/ Brown out would've been perfect...

Those teams were winning awards and Cups in their younger years though.

As for leauge leaders, Marner is currently sitting at 8th or 9th? Matthews was 1st earlier in the year until his injury that caused him to miss 14 games (although it's unlikely he'd have kept up his original pace all year), Tavares is also in the top 20 and 4th in goals.
Who cares if they aren't winning the Art Ross or Rocket? Close enough

- Thecakeisalie


Well if you're going to say they're equal, those are some metrics to see whether they really are or not.

You're splitting hairs man. Close enough.

If I was a caps fan, I'd probably say OV, Backstrom, and Carlson were fairly equal to Crosby, Malkin, and Letang. Has Backstrom ever won any individual awards? Carlson? Who cares, they are fairly close. Close enough they were also able to win a cup.

Leafs are 4th overall, and tied with Calgary for 2nd overall in wins and ROWs with 41.


To the negative “fans” of the Leafs. As President of the Hockeybuzz Leafs thread (self-appointed), I would just like to say you are hereby banned from watching Leafs games and owning Leafs merchandise. Hand in your Leafs fan card and never associate yourself with the organization ever again. You are a female genitalia. Please (frank) HOHO’s hat. That is all.

The Caps won once after how many years? Ovechkin, as an individual, might be equal to another individual but the teams, not equal. Pittsburgh always owned them, always won more.

And Ovechkin might be the greatest goal scorer of all-time. That goes a long way especially when he goes beast mode in the playoffs.

Marner should have been drafted 2nd overall. Nylander should have been drafted higher. Ditto for Rielly. Discuss.
- Zezel

I dislike Burke, but he took a lot of flack for saying Rielly would have been picked #1 by them. He is clearly #1 of the 12' draft class.

- Thecakeisalie


When it comes down to something like the playoffs and winning championships, those small differences could determine who wins and who doesn't. Look how many times Pittsburgh and Washington went head to head and Pittsburgh always won (until last year). You could say it was splitting hairs and they were equal but clearly one team won more than the other. Teams like San Jose came "close" but LA and Chicago were better. Might have been by a small margin but that's what the difference was.

Also, Willy at his new cap hit of 6.9m will look like a brilliant move by late next season.

I did actually say equal.

If some troll wants to nitpick, maybe they have a leg to stand on, but whatever. I was just trying to annoy that aminnes guy originally.

I don't think it's that crazy a statement anyways. Would our stars be equal to the Pens stars in their heyday? Maybe not, but they're pretty close to them these days. And even when they were young and at their best, it's not that outrageous. Who is to say throughout their careers in the next few years Marner or Matthews or even Tavares don't win any individual awards like Richard or Art Ross? Matthews was looking like a strong contender for the Richard before he got hurt...

He's just arguing.

Like any good troll he's completely changing the whole thing to something else. Now we're actually comparing the Caps to the Pens.

I really like the Leafs chances this year. I think they can win it all.
