Its bullshit that it's a preseason suspension. Give him regular season games so that it actually means something.

Is it fair to say that sans cups (which is frankly a team achievement) McDavid is on pace to be better than Crosby? Mind you it's not all Crosby's fault since he was injured a lot. I feel like Crosby isn't that much smarter than McDavid (which is saying a lot) but McDavid is more skilled.

As far as natural skill, McDavid is better than Crosby. Crosby is just a tireless worker though
McDavid is a next level skater. He may be the best skater to ever step foot on a NHL rink.

He needs to demand a trade off the Oilers if he ever wants to win anything. And demand that he will only come to the Rangers!

I shouldn’t be laughing at it, but I’m getting s good chuckle out of reading Blue Jacket fans convincing themselves Panarin will want to stay

My first reaction was to wait for NHLSHOP.COM to put all the #15 Eichel jerseys on clearance.

They're usually very nice people but very.....slow, slower than Southerners. I have no idea why, either.
Columbus and Cleveland are like two different countries.

He looks like he need some seasons to build muscles, but you can say the exact same thing about Lias, or Elias Pettersson with Nucks so he will probably play in NHL. But it can be more difficult since he is a defender which require some physics usually.

I think Crosby has a bit better vision. But as you say, McDavid is more skilled and intense. I’ve come to really admire Crosby’s guts. Dude takes an absolute beating and keeps getting up and producing.
I'm not sure this season will really mean much in Mtl anyway...

All I'm seeing right now on this page is everyone's uncertainty about that rally-possum from the Browns game.

100% yes, the only question is will he be in our top pairing or second pairing.

Even with Hossa, Havlat, Spezza, Chara, Redden, Alfredsson, Bondra (for part of a season) and Radek Bonk they couldn’t win the Cup. Snakebitten for sure

They became the reference point in sports for a franchise that is pretty to very good for a number of years but didn't win. Happens a lot more than we think. Blues at different points in their franchise. Sharks. Rangers in the early 70s. Etc. That's always the argument to Neil Smith's 94 trade deadline. If he didn't do it, the Rangers could have been the Ottawa Senators of the late 90s-early 2000s. What he did after 1994 which we've beaten to a dead horse, that was criminal.

Up until last year, the Caps fell into that category too. Vancouver during AV. Ray Bourque's Bruins. Those three stick out in my mind.

No way... too many legends regarded as the best skaters. Orr and Bure are clearly above McDavid IMO.
