He wouldn't be better than Foligno, Vlasic, and Dickinson.

And regardless, being a top 5 player on the worst team in the league is a very low bar to reach.
Yes, he would.

It’s sad that a 21 year old kid keeps getting thrown out there to get his head bashed in, and that the rangers are allowing it to continue.
Lol, he is choosing to do it.

Panthers and Bob are flying under radar somehow

Despite having best record in NHL there has rarely been any attention/discussion of them at this point

Bob's in yet another Vezina race

30-11-2 with 2.30 GAA and .918 sv pct + 4 SO's

Bob is also 10 wins away from #400

I don't think they are flying under the radar. Most have them picked for the finals this year at this point.

He’s certainly more talented than those players, though Capitals fans are quite vocal that he’s played like dogshit the last two seasons.

Obviously, whatever led him to go through the player assistance program likely had an effect, but that’s probably the biggest reason the Hawks will stay away.

I could see them coming out of the East, but I dont think they match up particularly well against Vegas if we get a rematch (which I think is likely).

I thought Vegas was sucking up a storm since like November

Yep they’ve been pretty middling.

I don't really put much weight on standings points. They’re 3rd in their division, they’ll add at the TDL, their injured players will be back for the playoffs when the cap goes away, etc.

I just dont see Edmonton with their D beating Vegas in 7, and Colorado is basically a one line team this season. Nobody else in the West is legit to me, Im not a Vancouver believer.

Stars are in there too. Vegas is just too beat up to make another run. Vancouver is in a bit of a lull but every team goes through that (unless you tank like LA has).

I hear a lot of prognosticators claim the west is tougher than the east and overall perhaps this is true. Just seems FL, NYR, and maybe Boston are more complete. Carolina has some nice pieces but are missing that one special player.

That would be my pick. Dallas and Florida for the Cup if you asked me today.

Many Canadian fans would be throwing fit and Candian media will jump all over attacking those ratings and whining about how a team is not in Saskatoon, etc

So, I would enjoy it just to see those meltdowns.

Dallas is the most complete team in the league IMO.

Im an idiot. Totally blanked on the Stars.

Yeah, they could definitely come out of the Wes.

It's borderline unfair how much smarter Colorado is than every other team. :laugh:
