Around the NHL - Part XLII - (2023-24 Season edition)

[Filip Chytil]

I mean. It’s not a slam dunk. It’s absolutely down to opinion there. I love, love, love Fox but we’re splitting hairs amongst the elite of the elite here.

After Matthews and Tkachuk, I think I'd take Fox at 3 personally

I probably take everyone but McAvoy over Fox...but even that's a coin flip.

I admittedly thought they'd all have Fox as the top d-man taken.

 

[Synergy27]

McAvoy has physicality that Fox simply doesn’t. Does that matter? Maybe not, but the only knock on Fox is that he seems to wear down over the course of the season.

I don’t think taking McAvoy over Fox is insane even if I don’t do it personally.

I find doing redrafts to be one of the dumbest "I'm bored and need something to do" ideas of all time. They're completely based on 20/20 hindsight. So-and-so is now an underachiever, looking at his numbers, so if I had to draft all over again, I would not have picked him at #2 but #12 instead. Listen to what you're saying.

In hindsight, I should've dated Person B instead of Person A because Person A turned out to be a crazy lunatic.

Sounds like what someone who’s a fan of a team with the drafting history of the Rangers would say

I feel the same way about redrafts in the NFL. And the Giants are my team; a franchise that has drafted well enough to consistently win one championship every decade since the 1980s.

Let's call it what it actually is, Rank the Players in the Draft by their Statistics and How They Turned Out

You angry or Hangry dude? Lol

 

[gabevh3]

forever an Isles fan.

Didn't know he was an islanders fan growing up. So is bettman. I think the Dolans were also no?

I'm not sure about Dolan but he's a money fan and that probably trumps everything in his life, haha

 

[will1066]

I know you'd pick Van Damme at #1 and Steven Seagal at #2, but I also know if you had to do a redraft, you would select Mark Dacascos at #1.

 

[ArPanet]

he needs to rank Aprils

also OEL bought out

Howden is #1 overall in my redraft of 2016

 

[huerter]

People forget that a corner kick is just an artificial way to ensure that the beautiful game embraces the royal road revolution.

 

[will1066]

Fair point



Howden is #1 overall in my redraft of 2016

He's #1 overall in life.

 

[mas0764]

Hradek takes Matthews, Tkachuk, Thompson, and McAvoy over Fox in a 2016 redraft.

Must be smoking some good stuff.

Hilarious that Hradek says it was "close," between Fox and Sergachev.

It's not even close to close.

 

[Cmox]

I don’t know if im more annoyed at the “6 long years” or the publicist? Haha

 

[SRHRangers]

I know you'd pick Van Damme at #1 and Steven Seagal at #2, but I also know if you had to do a redraft, you would select Mark Dacascos at #1.

Jeff Speakman. Change my mind.

 

[will1066]

Jeff Speakman. Change my mind.

Dayum. I thought about mentioning Jeff Speakman but was like, who the hell is gonna know who he is? Even Dacascos was a stretch but at least he was the Chairman on Iron Chef and Zero in John Wick 3.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

The Lady Byng couldnt be more subjective a trophy.

"Given annually to the player voted best to combine sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and ability as voted on by the Professional Hockey Writers' Association."

How is Hughes up for this award when he is one of the cockiest players on the ice? Staring at the fans after he scores? No disrespect to him, hes an awesome player and can do whatever he wants. I love the swagger... but its definitely not what i think a Lady Byng winner would be.

You're totally right.

Cynthia Rothrock for the W.

 

[Roo Returns]

Cynthia Rothrock for the W.

I was a fan. She was like Maggie Q before Maggie but looking more like Denise Crosby.

I see and appreciate you as connoisseurs of 90s late-night cable action movies.

Do you find Showdown In Little Tokyo with Dolph Lundgren and Brandon Lee as exquisite as I do?

Great one. What about Showdown with Bill Blanks and Patrick Kilpatrick? I should probably take this to movies. Haha
