Around the NHL Part VIII

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Good to see Washington finally decide to show up this season when they were out of the playoffs.

Ovi scored another PP goal today... surely he's tied the record for PP goals in a season

All my argument is about is I don't think Crosby is the best hockey player...sure he's a great one but there's always someone better

In a finite amount of players, there isn't ALWAYS someone better. Crosby is pretty universally considered the best player in the league. Girioux and Toews being better is laughable. You thinking differently from everyone else doesn't make you smarter than everyone else.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Isles @ Devils tonight. No joke, just makes me

The Islanders and Devils walk into a bar...to watch the Rangers in the playoffs*.

*I think I stole that from a similar joke.

 

[aufheben]

It's ok I still laughed.

Then again, you could have just said "Isles" and I would have laughed.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

You're the only person outside than Toews's mother that thinks he's better than Crosby. No need to pretend like you have some sort of superior hockey knowledge.

I don't have superior hockey knowledge and I don't have a favoritism to toews.. I just like old time hockey players...that also includes getzlaf and Perry.. Thornton.. backes.. Kreider to a extent... I favor them over guys like Crosby malkin ovi..

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Hey snowblind...at least I didn't ****about Nash last night like I normally do

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Man.. the hawks are asleep

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Toews is just a better hockey player than Crosby...and I'm not talking about ***** stats that everyone likes to use...I watch them both...I think toews is better and well rounded

Better personality and less crying and complaining as well.

I'm not sure how those guys are old time hockey players. I don't think Thornton for example is that at all. Also because you prefer a certain type of player doesn't make him better.

Favor Kreider over OV?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Hey snowblind...at least I didn't ****about Nash last night like I normally do

Machinehead took that torch from you.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

You do know Malkin won the conn right? It's a team game but individualy I'd take toews... example... Crosby vs. Boston and toews vs. Boston...people run to stats... **** stats watch the game and you can tell who's the better hockey player

While I agree you can learn a lot about the game and the players by watching it and that stats don't tell the entire story, you're argument is terrible.

Toews is an excellent player and he's a stand up guy, you are letting that cloud your judgment.

Crosby is hands down the best player in the world and he's no slouch on the other side of the puck either. He may be a whiny little **** but his skill can't be questioned.

Still wasn't your choice between Giroux and Crosby? So why'd you bring Toews into it?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Favor Kreider over OV?

And Crosby and Malkin...

 

[aufheben]

Yea but I don't see why, they're both power-wingers, albeit Ovechkin is in a different universe.

 

[Kakko]

Man, I really want to watch this Tampa Jackets game, but I'd get way too sad...

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Really don't want Columbus in the first round.

Speaking of Girioux I wonder how he's any more of an old school player than Crosby.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Caps can't even tank properly.

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Speaking of Girioux I wonder how he's any more of an old school player than Crosby.

I never said Giroux was a old time hockey player... I brought toews in the conversation because that's the prototype player I would want on my team

I'm still iffy against Columbus so I'd rather not play them in the first round

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Also I'd go mad having to watch dubi smash a Gatorade cooler against us

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, apparently TB is playing the Latvian goalie that almost beat Canada.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

All my argument is about is I don't think Crosby is the best hockey player...sure he's a great one but there's always someone better

I HATE Crosby. Hate him with a burning passion. The only thing keeping him from being my public enemy #1 is Martin Brodeur.

That said, I'd sever a limb to have a player of his caliber on the team. He's the best. He really solidified it this season more than ever IMO.

The Islanders and Devils walk into a bar...to watch the Rangers in the playoffs*.

*I think I stole that from a similar joke.

LOL

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

Well that was a softie

2-1 Tampa

 

[Infinitum Vitae*]

The stars are a very fun team to watch

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why didn't the Jackets start Bob? Blows my mind.
