  1. It's an impressive accomplishment, for sure. Funny, but I've never thought of Messier or Francis as five of the best scorers ever, even thought I know they rank that way. So I've never put that much stock in this particular list.

    I wonder how many points Jagr would have scored had he come into the league in the early 80's?

    Baseball has it's steroids era. Hockey has its Empty Net era. Gretzky gobbled up his points due to the goalie pads being 6 inches wide, the goalie jerseys being size 48s, and the goalies being 5'10" and standing up. Gretzky would be no better than Sidney Crosby in today's NHL at any point of his career. He'd probably lift weights and train to keep up with the times, but he would not score 100 pts in 2016. Forget about 200.


  2. Best joke I've heard all day. And here we thought you had trouble reading/interpreting forum posts.

    Kane over Toews. All day any day.

    Who would you pick Bill berzzzzzzench?

    Kane is so fricking good ON the ice, but the knucklehead factor is not dismissible. I think if I'm looking at long term (Blackhawks), I take Toews. If I'm looking at short term (Olympics), I take Kane. Tough to compare against each other because of the different elements. They compliment each other as a pair, and I think that's really what we lack. We have the responsible, dynamic centerman in Datsyuk, but we dont have the all out offensive dynamo (Yzerman) anymore. I miss 19. He hit the 7 the best I've ever seen a player from 10 feet away do it.


  3. Yzerman was a complete player as well. Feds was just better defensively and a flashy guy. Fedorov was like the Datsyuk. Yzerman was like the Zetterberg.

    Kane and Yzerman are nothing alike. Kane is just pure offense. Yzerman was a Selke winner and one of the best faceoff guys in the league. Not to mention he killed A LOT of penalties.

    Yzerman was just like Kane until 1996. Prolific scorer, but not a super strong 200' game. Then Bowman said my way or the highway, and Stevie Y became a great 2 way player. Kane can be an offensive juggernaut without much focus on the backcheck because his team is so strong.


  4. I take Kane over Toews any day. Toews two way game is overrated, Kopitar and Bergeron will be getting selkes before Toews.

    One day, Bergeron and Toews will win a Selke. I can feel it.


  5. Newsflash to everyone - we SUCKED against Dallas too. Howard and 4 posts prevented 18 other guys from looking like a hellhole on ice 2 days ago. Tonight the shots are going in instead of clanking off posts. And lastly, you need defensemen that can play offense too. Marchenko is NOT a good fit to play with the other 4 defensemen who can only play defense right now, if thats what we want to call it. Blash better pull his head out and get Smith back in or this could turn into a tough stretch.


  6. Does anyone know when Tatar and Nyquist come back from their season long injuries? Sure would be great to have guys who can score. Wait...

    Ha ha ha. I cant stand those 2 guys anymore. They get punked by every good team we play. Then they get a 2 pt night when we play vancouver after vancover played st louis the day before, and everybody thinks their the next euro twins. I really wish we had some bigger faster guys.


  7. Mrazek does not look confident at all... Pretty equal period. Seems like it's thesame guys every night that keep us from having any flow to our game. Tatar and Richards can't do anything with the puck and Larkin needs to simplify things

    Tatar, Richards, Nyquist, and Sheahan are not ice openers. 2 defensemen can cover all 3 of them no problem. So put 3 of them togetheproblemyoure just done.

    And Richards kills 2 rushes in a row, and puts his team on the chase. 4 straight shifts he's done that.
