A defensemen that can shoot and score. Wouldn't that be amazing.

7 goals from Canucks D this year. Canadians have 13, Islanders have 10.

Makar 16, Josi 13, Ekblad 10, Hedman 9, Karlsson, Carlson, Theodore, Toews 8

More to it than simply shooting.

Another intelligent take. Just when I thought Ruby couldn't be beat today.

58 goals against in 40 games 5v5. It's the best in the league.

Islanders would have to give up only 1 5v5 goal in the next 7 games to be as good as the Canucks.

Carolina has 59 goals against in 3 less games than the Canucks.

LA has 41 games played but allowed 66.

Yup. They were incredibly patient with Barkov and Huberdeau.

Tallon going out and getting Jagr really ignited both of them. Watching those three on a line together was something to see.

About as intelligent as your take on players moving up a league in Sweden and the success rate of that player making the nhl.

He didn't move up a league, in his draft + season, so his chances of making the nhl are slim.
I would give you a list of players to back this up, but I doubt you really care.

5th round picks seldom make the nhl, so I don't think mini is explaining anything to anyone, that they aren't already aware of.

Jagr's hockeyDB page might be the only one where you have to "scroll" twice to get to the bottom.

You don't need to post this. Everyone has already figured out that you don't watch the games from reading your posts.

I do enjoy reading your posts about your fake interactions with players and their wives though. A vivid imagination is a wonderful thing to have...until they lock up the straight jacket on you.

43 lines for Jagr.

36 lines for Howe.

Jagr changed teams and had multiple years about 7 times.

Even Jumbo Joe only has 31 lines.

First game I ever saw in Winnipeg. Jagr scored 2 goals and Pit won 2-1. No Mario. Back injury.

Jagr didn’t know when to hang em up. Floaters do that.

Interesting take - The pressure of performing and living up to these bigger, bloated (pun intended) 2nd contracts is more of a mental hurdle that the younger guys are failing to adjust to??
Obviously, we won't know for another few years how or if Petey, Boeser, Hughes, will overcome those issues and have solid careers. Personally, I think despite their slumps - they will - but we shall see.

Yes, in a time where these young players are more like brands than people, the pressure to keep it going seems to take its toll. You can see it amongst these young YouTubers and on-line influencers. Some hit instant success, cash in, and then fade due to the mental stress. I think we’ll see it more and more amongst young pro athletes.

I remember when Loui said his contract sucked. It didn’t suck because he wasn’t making enough. It sucked because he was making too much.

I know it’s a weird way of looking at it but instant success has its down side and for some it can be deadly.

It’s funny when fanboys put players on a pedestal. They are just regular dudes like the rest of us. I used to hangout with lots of the players because of my social circle. BFD
