I mean, if we are talking "people who play Hockey", then I think he has a strong case.
People who don't play hockey don't count. Why even mention it?

Don't people who played hockey for over 20 years but are now too old to keep from being shattered to pieces by sneezing, count......at least a little bit?People who don't play hockey don't count. Why even mention it?
Lol, I hope so Robb! You just described me. Can't play anymore due to arthritis and osteoporosis. Oh well, I don't regret a thing, and I would do it all over again!Don't people who played hockey for over 20 years but are now too old to keep from being shattered to pieces by sneezing, count......at least a little bit?

Survey says
Is there a league for 70+ players? Too many guys in their 40s still like to crunch people into the boards in recreational pick-up games. They think they're still in their 20s. I'll admit I still like the feel of knocking opponents around. I'd love to give some good hip checks. But, I'm afraid (from experience) that I'd get the worst of it, playing against players 20-30 years younger.Lol, I hope so Robb! You just described me.

Booooo! Hisssss! No accounting for taste!

I live in a village of 300 people. None of them are ice hockey fans. I could play in mid winter, when I'm in Winnipeg, as there are no upper age limits in Senior Leagues. But, it would likely lead to an early grave. I guess I'll have to wait for the next life, and hope I don't come back as a millipede!Haha...just teasing Robb. Everyone knows you're in the BluesTalk HOF.
Seniors leagues? Would need to be a major metro area to support more than a couple of teams though.

There's a guy that's pushing 80 at our local drop-in.
Is he knocking 40 year olds into the boards???
I'd board myself to avoid hitting him.
Well pronman has us in his top 10 at least as he’s now released 31-11 rankings. Can’t say I’m surprised, but wouldn’t have been if we were 10-20 range either just because.
While I expected him to have us high given how much he likes Thomas Kyrou and Bokk I wasn’t sure because I don’t know how he feels about the lower half of our prospects.He’s been gushing about Thomas for a while now. I figured he’d put the Blues top 10 based on that fact alone.

Right, but we are also stacked, and have two/three high end/elite prospects that separate us there. We are on number 15 in our rankings and it’s between an AHL all star and one of our best AHL players in 16-17. I’d say we are doing alright.Yeah, I don’t have a subscription but based on what people I’ve gathered that having a prospect(s) he views as truly special carries more weight than having a stable of good-not-great prospects. Which is why I think we’re seeing the Blues ahead of a team like Philly, for example. He’s not super high on any of their guys even though they have a stocked pipeline.

Seems to me like we belong squarely in the second 5 (6-10) so it doesn't really surprise me. I do have issues with several of his rankings, starting with Tampa at 31. They don't have anyone approaching elite that isn't already an NHL player, but I would put every one of their 2-6 prospects ahead of the Hawks' #2 and he has the Hawks at 14. Boqvist is a nice player, but he's not enough to tip the scales that much.Well pronman has us in his top 10 at least as he’s now released 31-11 rankings.
