Aye Doc posted:I think it would be cool if the NHL moved towards an NBA-style of rivalry where it's dudes competing with each other to try to be the best there ever was, and the really meaty stuff coming from the friendships that fall apart in pursuit of this*. unfortunately a lot of this hinges on the players having personalities and it would take fiddy years to get us there with hockey, plus it's easier for that to develop in a game with shorter rosters. I guess really that this is a bad idea that is ill suited for the NHL, however it's a cool dream world I am imagining where my sport is popular. we get a bit of it with Crosby but that's about it as far as I can think This is happening right now. For example, though they are offseason friends, scruff bearded robot Sidney Crosby is trying to prove he's better than Brad Marchand, who carried him through the World Cup.

Turdsdown Tom posted:just watched BOS-CGY after missing it last night and Jesus loving Christ, Khudobin is such a bad backup that it makes my eyes bleed to watch. Yeah it feels dumb to complain about a 4-2 win with an ENG on top of it, but both of those goals were real bad. If anyone ever tries to argue +/- is a good stat show them how 5 guys on the ice got a minus for that second one.

Game counts aren't even, the Metro only looks so good because they get to play the Atlantic and the bottom half of the Metro so much more. If everyone played NYI 82 times a year we'd have the real facts.

Jamwad Hilder posted:Charlie McAvoy and Jakob Forsbacka-Karlsson are both expected to turn pro after the NCAA season ends. McAvoy is definitely good enough to play on the Bruins right now. Not as sure about JFK but he's a really interesting prospect too. I remember seeing on NESN JFK had the majority of his 13 goals this year in like one week of games in January. Without that his stats aren't that impressive.

ThinkTank posted:Marc Methot shouldn't be such a soft Canuck baby and just do what that true European Henrik Sedin did and have his fingertip amputated. So if you see their hands you can tell the difference? Chad Sexington posted:Ovi chops guys' hands on the backcheck all the time. Of course, he also gets called for it constantly, but still. It just seems like a freak thing that that slash happened to do that much damage. Of course it is but guys get in trouble for good hits that cause freak injuries too.

Jovial Cow posted:Maybe this should be a bit like a high sticking double minor. Sure if you slash the guy maybe it's nothing but if you explode his finger maybe you should sit a game. Then players will exploit the rules and explode their own fingers on minor slashes to knock someone else out for the game.
