I don't understand who he thinks he's writing to. And at the end of the day, that's why nuclear takes get made, it's because you're throwing out an opinion you think someone might share and hoping that person will buy the paper to read about it.
Like with Phil Kessel there was always that undercurrent of people who genuinely thought he was lazy and with PK there were always those racist fucks, but are you seriously telling me someone in Edmonton who is an Oilers fan wants McDavid gone? loving really?

I watched a let's play of this 3v3 mode and it's so loving hilarious.

Though I do think they're on to something where if the goalie freezes the puck, attacking team gets the puck at netural ice and the defenders have to line up in their own zone.

But the chart is just about NHL players, and those players play in the NHL.. I assume you're trolling but there are a lot of good American players.

I likely watched the same video today, and felt the need to make that gif. I assume that normally that game doesn't have the oilers starting KhairaHunter/Pakarinen/Gryba/Brossoit? Was it just Achievement Hunter's attempt at making themselves look better on video? Seeing McDavid/Draisaitl/Klefbom in real life 3v3 is the greatest thing.

N: Oilers lose 6-3 in a game where McDavid scores 1G,2A yet goes -2, and Talbot has a 0.714 Sv%. The GM describes the season as a "general disappointment". Spector has openly begun writing hit pieces on McDavid.

Couldn't agree more. We'll give a known quantity, say..Patrick Sharp? For him. Oh, and we'll also throw in a First Overall. Here's Brent Seabrook. He'll help you limp into the lottery.

my friend's girlfriend asked me if there were any jerseys that my friend would like for his birthday and since he's a rangers fan I suggested their new winter classic jerseys, but apparently they haven't even revealed them yet? does anybody know when they plan to do that? don't they usually reveal them much earlier than this?

The Habs and Sens outdoor jerseys for December 16th were just revealed last week, so it might be a few more weeks before the winter classic ones show up.

Matty was fine in the 80s, which is why they put him in the hall, but really, how hard is it to write up "Oilers crush all opposition" for ten years in a row? Now he's just senile.

Staples at least has some understanding of fancystats, but ruins it with his insistence on tracking his completely subjective "Grade A chances per 15" stats. That is, when he's not writing about how bad bike lanes are.

Spec is just loving horrible and we all know it.

But that's the thing, anyone I know who has more than a casual interest in hockey gets most of their hockey media from the internet. OilersNation and lately the Athletic Edmonton have a drat sight better understanding of the game than the papers, and I'd be willing to bet more views than the papers as well.

Real sad day in SAS when you try to troll Canadian jingoism and Aphrodite is the only one to accept.

Back in the day you couldn’t even make a joke about grapes suit without 10-12 SASers kramering their way in the door to tell you he was a National treasure and you just don’t understand how his racism is actually kinda endearing.

This was actually my guess, but mostly because I couldn't think of any other Columbus goalies besides Steve Mason and Ron Tugnutt.
