Holy crap! This Avalanche broadcast crew is UNBEARABLE.
But also, Nathan MacKinnon is such a player.

Compare to Locker? I'm done with his schtick. Too many slurred S's, and he turned up the homerism when the team was absolute trash. How could I forget the OH MY GAWD...dude, calm down.
Easily a bottom three uniform in the league. For my money Anaheim, Nashville, and Columbus have the worst uniforms in the NHL. Next tier of bad would be Los Angeles, Washington, Colorado, and Winnipeg.
The annoying thing is Anaheim, Washington, Los Angeles, and Winnipeg could have really nice uniforms if they want back to what worked but their current kits are awful.
Nashville hasn’t had a nice jersey yet. They either need to take a page out of Michigan’s playbook or make the colors blue and gold but whatever they’re currently doing is hard to look at.

To me pasta has a strong argument for what he’s done in Boston. Far an away the best team in the league and he was an offensive force all year for them.

interesting….looking back at Gretzky‘s top 3 seasons, 205 pts, 208, 215, his PP pts were 47,44,54.
McJebus feasted there with 71 PP pts….(44 the year before).
unsustainable….

Oilers and McDavid somehow hacked league's power play. No wonder Oilers complained some time ago they don't get enough powerplays.

I think that's more of an open ended question...indicating it's hard to root for Boston given the RAT plays for them...even if they have Orlov/Hathaway.
I'm rooting for Boston, only to beat either Leafs or Lightning in 2nd round. Then i want them to lose in 4 in conference finals.

There's a thread on the mains already calling McD the 2nd-best player all time, and I can't roll my eyes far enough back in my head. He's fantastic, certainly the best player right now. He's also probably the best skater I've ever seen (butguys like Lafleur and Gartner were also phenomenal). When he's played a 20+ year career, won a championship or two, and climbed the all-time scoring list, then ok. But this rush to name the best guy today as a GOAT is bizarre to me. That's something athletes have to earn.
I'd like to see them lose in the finals. More painful, but yeah, can't have the Bolts or Leafs advancing too far.
Mostly the very young who haven't seen the 80s and 90s. Talent is talent no matter what era and those guys then would score today. When I hear Messier etc talk about today's game I just roll my eyes at how they spew the current NHL propaganda. Messier knows he would succeed in this era, but he has to earn those checks.

Ahh it’s just fun bar room arguments that happen now on the internet. The other factor is updated training/conditioning/equipment. My nephew is light years ahead of where I was entering high school. But I had wooden sticks and got three practices a week, only in winter months, up at the outdoor Wheaton regional park. My nephew has 150 dollar composites, summer programs, camps, skate training, on and on.
I’d love to see what Gartner would have done with some modern skates and sticks, and the youth programs they have now.

I mean, not really. Good as the top players were at the time a quarter of each team's lineup would struggle to make the AHL today, not even getting to the fact that goaltending was a different sport. Might as well say players in the 06 era were just as good when they worked summer jobs.

Pulling up the stat feeds stress free tonight. I posted my predictions in the group competition on NHL.com but I have:
Islanders in 6
Devils in 6
Bruins in 6
Lightning in 7
Avalanche in 5
Stars in 6
Golden Knights in 7
Oilers in 5
Probably going to enjoy a dry traditional palmetto mead tonight. Palmetto honey is nice because it has a slight woody flavor to it that makes it akin to an oaked Chardonnay when fermented into a mead.
