Are we in Canada paranoid about 2026 or should we not be worried?

Why did you choose Hyman?

Like someone was saying earlier, he's got a long leash after last season and may be dealing with something right now. He's barely on there after last nights debacle with the Habs.

Jared McCann this season: 9 goals, 21 points in 19 games with a 64.52 ES goal differential


Goals/60 ranking for left wingers since the start of 2022/23 season:
1. Kaprizov
2. Forsberg
3. Ovi
4. McCann
5. Hyman
6. Kreider
7. Panarin
8. B. Tkachuk
9. Robertson
10. Kuzmenko

Talk about a guy being under the radar in the hockey world. Is he too much a defensive liability to have him on board like I do? I havnt seen a whole lot of him.

Yup.

I'd rather have Duchene. Duchene is on fire and there is only 6 months difference in their age - vs Hyman. Of course, if McDavid wants Hyman, he will get him.

Im sure we'll see the odd surprise or two once the rosters have been named. Duchene, Thomas, Bennett, Scheifele, etc.. not on my roster and making things tough. Hell, we could even get a surprise vet some considered off the team get picked.

Brad Marchand is OLD and should NOT be on the team. We need to move on to the next generation. Unfortunately, unless he gets hurt, he'll be there.

Sid : Yes. Marchand : No!

As @Pavel Buchnevich has said, Will Cuylle is having one heck of a season...

At 22 years of age, he is 0.82 PPG (17 GP 6 G, 8 A), while averaging less than 14 minutes a game - and NONE of his points are on the power play. He is also +14.

A player to watch.

@Pavel Buchnevich is easily one of the most objective posters at HF. He somehow gets as much pleasure from non American players excelling as he does when one of his countrymen excels. Only @Czechboy is comparable.

I wish I was more like them.

I'm listening to the Christmas music on my TV. The song Most Wonderful Time Of The Year came on and it made me think of the World Juniors and the baby with the ear muffs who makes the funny "O" face - 0:59.



I wonder what that baby looks like now?
