but a drink of water, he(McSecondComingofGretzky)'ll take care of turning it into wine

You said he's top 6 now you're changing it to top 6 "minutes" lol. Nyquist hasn't played top 6 role all season. He primarily played on the 3rd line first half of the season. Overall minutes wise with the help of the PP sure he's top 6 "minutes" but 5 on 5 (which is 90% of the game) he was playing with 3rd liners until the last couple months.

4th line suits him imo. Should be Callahan - Glendening - Sheahan. Would be a pretty balanced line.

That was the end of Sproul's shift anyway, right? Well, the defense definitely shouldn't have touched that one.

why was Blash bleeding? lol, it reminded me of this seriously Soccer, get your sh*t together...

getting le drunk already, Ken said McDavid like ten times on the play where he scored

I've already had to mute the tv....

Ok so everyone has to take a drink every time they mention McAnnoying's name.

"A hockey birdie whispers that Valtteri Filppula turned down a trade to Toronto, and accepted one to Philadelphia, because he didn’t want to play for Mike Babcock again. Six years of the relentless Babcock is apparently too much for some players" Thought that was interesting. From The Toronto Star.

It's all opinion lmao, yours, mine and theirs. You can't measure captaincy through facts unless you're looking at trophies; which would be a weak argument anyways. But if that's the case then "factually" speaking Zetterberg has more Leadership trophies than Lidstrom and Yzerman combined. What do you think about Zetterberg as a captain compared to the other current NHL captains, Where do you rank him?

At least Sheahan isn't on the 2nd line like last game.

Well, Blashill seems to be pretty good at blocking shots... Mantha!!!!

This defense group is a pile of dog s***. Do we have one defensmen that would be more than a 6/7 on the Capitals roster?

that's why when it comes to the Kens, my guy is Kal.

I get it he's good but Daniels always goes overboard

oh no.. here we go...

Of course Callahan is the healthy scratch... Wish it were Miller. Oh well...

McIlrath played his first game last night paired with Renouf, and looks to be same pairings again tonight. People have mentioned the possibility of McIlrath becoming the replacement for Ericsson *when Vegas takes him this summer*... Well he is wearing number 52 in GR, so maybe... I'm hoping De Haas can develop into the steady stay at home defenseman to replace Ericsson, but he's at least another year or two away.

Just a hater, ignore him.

Kipwinger lost his roster spot on the junior high team to an enforcer.

Yeah his body was indeed warm

^ Exactly. My opinion is- Yzerman full 10/10 - double OT goal, best player on ice with numberous injuries, helped bring Wings out of Dead Wing era. - gave hope to a city that was torn after civil rights movement. - Joe Louis arena is on Steve Yzerman drive for a reason. - changed his entire game style for the sake of the team, went from being an offensive forward to defensive forward for the team's sake. Zetterberg 8/10 -willed the team to playoffs in 2013 season and scored playoff series OT game winning goal win against Anaheim while we were the udnerdog team without Lidstrom for the first time - immediately came to play against Boston playoff series in 2014 after back surgery (idk how you can do that and not worry about becoming handicapped) Lidstrom 7/10 -leader by example, Greatest defenseman of modern era but can't really think of many individual captain-like notable instances. During his captaincy Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg aka the "Euro-Twins" were the faces of the franchise and along with Osgood's incredible play won the Stanley cup in 08.
