Two players that used to be very good but are now whipping boys for their team's fans. Who is currently better?
Zibby. But wanna say I’m a big fan of these types of polls where it’s interesting and out of the box style
He’s gotten a little worse the last few years, but he’s never been that great at even strength. It was always suspected that Buchnevich drove the line with Kreider and Zibanejad at even strength. When he left, problems started. Kreider has slowed down at even strength the last few years as he’s gotten older. Kreider was always a great play driver too, so now Zibanejad is getting exposed without having two play drivers carry him around at even strength. Kreider’s still amazing on the PP and pretty good on the PK. Zibanejad is pretty good on the PK, but declining on the PP. A lot of fans want Lafreniere to take his PP spot.Rags fans. What happened to Ziba , has he lost his love for the game? This guy used to be way better or am i crazy
There are actually more penalties called in the playoffs than the regular season, it just feels like less because the games are so much more physical that there are a lot of infractions that go uncalledThe same thing happens in the regular season, but you don’t play a good team every night and there’s more special teams in the regular season, so it matters a little less.
Any stats for that? It really has seemed like refs decide not to blow their whistles the later it gets in the playoffs.There are actually more penalties called in the playoffs than the regular season, it just feels like less because the games are so much more physical that there are a lot of infractions that go uncalled
From 2016 to 2022, there were 3,759 power-play opportunities in 589 playoff games, or 3.2 power plays per game.Any stats for that? It really has seemed like refs decide not to blow their whistles the later it gets in the playoffs.
Doesn't his magical amulet that he peddles help him cast miracles? Or has he not unlocked that spell yet?Tavares needs a miracle
He doesnt look like he shluld be in the NHL as of Oct 20 2024
Dude is 34 years old, but looks worse than 2021 Joe Thornton did for the leafs in a small 5 game sample size
He was also bad for most of last year and horrific vs the bruins
This is a guy who is needs a miracle to rebound
I'd honestly take issue with this.Zibanejad can at least skate. He's also better than Panarin in the playoffs.
