Around the League Thread | Drive to the Playoffs

It can't be any worse than here. I can't understand for the life of me why some people on this board keep slagging Makar and say he's a crap player. So cringy when I see it. Utterly ridiculous and just childish. It's embarrassing really. Obviously they are both excellent players, the best in the world at the position and I'm sure they would both agree as well.

People like that can’t appreciate either player until after they retire or are past their prime.

Gotta love the rangers trading a first and third this year and still not making the playoffs

J.T. a team-worst -3 as well.

Too impatient to learn and too paranoid to use that brain waste of a service.

Yep. They suck.

Don't get why people keep going "look at JT, he's a beast!" post-trade. The Rangers still suck. JT fits in perfectly with the rest of the Rangers - another guy that cheats for offense and has terrible defensive habits.

Rangers are borderline to make the PO. Lost a key h2h game vs CBJ whom they are chasing.

They're not borderline. They're well below 50% chance to make it, and that was before the CBJ game. After losing to CBJ, they're chances dropped further.

Plenty of room for NYR, OTT and CBJ in the playoffs if the NJD nosedive continues.

Ovi also lost like 1.5 years to lockouts too. This record would have been absolutely roasted and we'd be asking if he would hit 1000 had the 04/05 lockout not occurred (and he joined the league that year) and there wasn't the shortened 12/13 season.

I always bring this up, but when you era-adjust the scoring, Ovechkin passed Gretzky years ago. And I think it should be viewed that way, because both defense and goaltending have just been way, way better throughout Ovechkin's career than Gretzky's.

The amount that Ovy could have surpassed Wayne is kind of insane. He has 100 more games or so left on his contract. If he can score 40-45 more goals, he'd be at like 930-935 range. If he played those 120 games, is there 65-70 goals in there to hit 1,000? Crazy to think about that.

And now adjust it to 1979-1999 scoring rates and what is that, 1,200?

edit: Not only did Ovy pass Gretzky in adjusted goals some time ago, but so has Jagr, while Gretzky never even passed Howe...
