Have the Pegulas been fired yet? Only way that team is going to get better.

exactly. Pegulas can't see the problem, because they are the problem.

Think he passes Gretz?

I'd say he needs at least another 4 seasons - and that's assuming he can keep a 40+ goal pace well into his late 30s.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

If Ovy can average 30 goals in the next 6 seasons, he can beat Gretzky. If he can stay healthy, he can do it. I think he'll keep playing into his 40s. The dude is a freak.

For a different take, if I am Colin Miller I am questioning the force of my slapshots.

And it's not like Hall intended to block it, he got cross checked into the path of the shot.

So even more momentum in the impact and yet Hall wasn't bleeding (it seemed on the video I saw) and came back to complete the game.

Somewhere Matt Carle is smiling.

Oh, goodness, the irony! Thanks, FLYguy.

I do. His career average is over 40 goals a year and he's already said he expects to play into his 40's. Say he gets to 25 this year, that is less than 35 goals a year x the next 5 full seasons. He is a conditioning nut, in great shape. Killer shot. If he stays healthy, he should be able to set a new record.

He also said he want to play in khl at some point so there's that.

He's not going to leave the NHL within striking distance of the Great One to play in that garbage league. Maybe after he breaks it.

7. Philadelphia Flyers: This is the season that the Flyers were supposed to take the next step. Right now, they’re on the outside, looking in at a playoff spot. GM Chuck Fletcher seems smitten with a defenceman (Mattias Ekholm?) to properly replace Matt Niskanen. It’s a delicate dance in the East, where the line is so thin between missing and potentially reaching Round 3

If we had drafted McDavid we'd have thus far spent his career watching him as a perimeter player per Hakstol's orders, and now under AV we'd be watching him dutifully giving the puck away on dump-ins on his orders.

This organization could find a way to suck the fun out of an Ovechkin-Lemieux-Gretzky line.

...

why would you do this to me?

 

[flyersnorth]

I'm sure his ego will take over and he won't leave until he breaks the record.

I mean, when is the last time someone legitimately had a chance to break that record?

I cant say enough how awful the new series looks. Did Emilio Estevez need money or something?
