Man the thing that had me sick about the Stars potentially grabbing Chychrun was I thought for sure they'd have to give up one of their blue chip prospects.. I guess not (though the Stars don't have a 1st round pick in 2023 to trade so I guess it wasn't happening anyway).

Chychrun was the only player out there that I was really concerned about dropping the likes of Thomas Harley or Mavrik Bourque on, so I'm happy in a way that's off the table now and hopefully the Stars can roll forward with their system intact.

how the absolute gently caress is mavrik bourque a real name

are we reaching the point where we're just cutting out vowels from edgy zoomer names like maverick on top of the usual chl name curse

or is this an ethnic name i'm not aware of and i am just sounding really loving racist if so i apologize

I feel like doxing her is going to have some bad outcomes as well...but also maybe dont' start poo poo on social media with people who can dox you? i dunno

e: to be clear people shoudl be called out for lovely views that are hurtful to other people or groups but the internet being what it is this also feels like a chance for some people who really don't care about the situation to jump in and harass someone with what is typically horrible stuff towards women

i don't think it's really doxxing to name someone who's doing their job shittily in public. like yeah it's gonna result in blowback but going "okay the nyr social media manager's name is bleh" is public info, and it's better to have it confirmed than have a bunch of internet detectives yelling at interns or whatever.

Does McDavid play on the penalty kill? Matthews doesn’t, so that would account for some of the differences.

I only pulled numbers for 5v5 specifically to avoid special teams numbers. I could include powerplay/pk/all situations...and I specifically *always* use Matthews when trying to compare/contrast with Conor 'cause uh well that should be obvious shouldn't it?

I'm still on mobile so if the discussion is still going during nap time I'll take another swing at addressing some of the other points (haha jokes on us even if discussion moves on I'll drag it back up).

Oh I must have missed that, my bad. Either way it was still a good point I just wasn’t sure.

Saying McDavid isn’t clearly the best player in the league because he’s below average defensively is like saying Ullmark isn’t the best goalie this year because he doesn’t throw the body enough.

goalies can throw the body with those crazy all or nothing poke checks that either work great or just concede a goal

Reimer’s participated in many jersey promotions in his career, jerseys are both literal advertising and contain paid ads, teams don’t “stick to sports” and routinely promote the military, police, and nationalism. This is not a hypothetical discussion about whether the player feels comfortable promoting or endorsing something outside of his personal or religious viewpoint, he literally does it all the time. These are dogwhistles for the desire to be intolerant of specific groups of people and we have a word for that.

Ok but I live in Canada and the NHL is not B tier here. And that's my point, its some nonsense frame of reference thing and it doesn't matter. Its only used by people to poo poo on something they care about for I have no idea what reason.

In Canada hockey is losing ground to soccer FAST. Like we’re becoming a more diverse nation but a lot of “old stock Canadians” (white conservatives) aren’t having kids who are growing up to become hockey fans, it’s lots of racialized immigrants who are starting their kids on soccer instead of that weird super expensive razors on your feet on ice game. I’m making an observation about demographics to be clear, nothing wrong with Canada becoming more diverse and they can replace my white rear end any day.

I'm gonna base the Chase Stillman offboard pick by Fitzgerald on covid drafting but man that was a dogshit pick.



He was rated in like the late 60s and they took him at #29 :barf:

Same draft that they correctly/luckily took Luke Hughes in so who gives a poo poo ultimately, somewhat akin I suppose to Shero taking a probable rapist/definite 4th liner over Sergachev/McAvoy/Chychrun at #12 in 2016 but lucking into Bratt later in the 6th.
