The 2nd good article I've ever read from Tanner. That's not meant as an insult... it's meant to say stop "trying to say something contrarian"...and just write. It's funny, interesting...and doesn't remotely come off as click bait. Well done. Hopefully the beginning of a trend?

I remember how Limp Bizkit ruined the Mission Impossible theme song. I agree with you that PSH was the best villain. Coming off of that shart line in Along Came Polly and just before the Canadian government sent Cable back in time to execute him, his timing was perfect. Also do you recall how heartwrenching it was to see Emilio get his poop ruined before the opening titles of the first one? I thought he was gonna nf to save them all. Maybe they'll bring him back for the ninth one. And fisticuffs between Henry Cavill's moustache and the career of Ben Affleck. The caveat? Ben gets to tag Jason Bourne into the fight if he can withstand fourteen consecutive Superman punches.

I recently watched it for the first time in 15 years, and it doesn't really stand up. It's OK, not as good as I remembered. Won't be on my list.

Really? I didn't realize people had such strong feelings about that movie. I dunno, in retrospect Guy Ritchie seems kind of,,,,,,,,i dunno, a product of the late 90? Kind of Limp Bizkit-ey? Does that make sense? And I remember loving this movie as a kid.

Langkow? 3 seasons worth of a player is 46? You know this franchise was in Winnipeg before arizona and actually had some good players before they went to the desert to die

Thanks. Sometimes I do a regression model comparing WAR and CORSI over time, but adjusted for PDO and O-zone starts. Its deep stuff. I've concluded that Langkow could have just been replaced by some guy in the AHL.

And no Selanne or Hawerchuk. Can't have the 2 best players in franchise history on your completely meaningless top 50 list!!!

I guess it's a no for Khabibulin too. Let's just pretend the NHL never existed before 1996. Renting an NHL team is better than owning one.

Obviously if they played for the Coyotes they might make the list. I am not sure how this is confusing for you.

Why did you just end the end your post with the word plug? Anyways, the Winnipeg Jets have their own franchise, where Teemu Selanne and Mark Schiefle share a history.

The top fifty Arizona Coyotes list doesn't include any former Jets players who didn't also play in Phoenix. Rootbeer.
