I agree that 91 and 13 were the most amazing, talented, and dominating players I've ever seen in Winged wheel. That said I dont think of them the same way I do 19 or 5. If Dats stays 5 more years I may rethink that.
Depends on the goal. If your linemates did all the work and you were in the right place at the right time. Then no solo celabration. If you just deked a top pair defensemen and roofed it topshelf. Rock on!
I didn't read all the numbers, but it sounds like they just took the numbers from late winter-early spring which they admit are the NHL's best time and compared them to full season numbers.
Of course this season avg. Numbers are going to be better.
Wow? First its Holland, then its Babs, and now Illitch. Who's next to blame for this travesty.
It's called the current NHL. There's a couple teams that are pretty dominant this year and maybe next. You think they're not gonna have some cap trouble in the next couple yrs? All the middle teams are fairly equal. Exactly what the NHL wants.
Teams are gonna have to build contenders from their own prospects a lot more than relying on rentals, unless your your current team is just a player away from being a contender, which the Wings are not. Another reason Holland is holding picks and prospects so close.
Not that I think the op is right in anyway, but the Illitch family wants a World Series title more than anything for Mr I. And no one deserves it more than him.
