Just because someone writes some junk article in a newspaper that no one reads anymore or hosts an internet podcast doesn’t give them some sort of otherworldly knowledge on hockey.
So you agree then? You think you, random Joe Blow, know more than the people who have been covering hockey their entire careers? Good on you little buddy.

Listen "little buddy" - a lot of the American journalists who get to vote for NHL awards are straight up homers and dummies who don't know jack

There are at least five journalists in this City who supposedly cover hockey for a living and nearly everything that comes out of their mouth is moronic

I mean, it happens all the time.
I hear people whose jobs are to cover a single topic get shit wrong all the time. And easily verifiable shit too.
“journalists” and sports media aren’t infallible. Like shit look at how many old timey guys are left that clearly have had the sport pass them by.

Nah, remember , these writers are the experts. Hell, the year everybody voted for McDavid for the Hart, we had one PWHA member from Pittsburgh be the only one in hockey to not vote for 97 (He voted Crosby with his hilarious homer vote). But hey, he's an expert.

They were just in game 7 of a Cup Final where the result is a coin flip. McDavid just won the freaking Conn Smythe trophy too. They already proved they can play a style that gets you there.

We're just shooting a ridiculously low shooting percentage and everyone wants to point fingers at 5000 different things.
It's never one thing though, and this is definitely not the same team as last year.

There have been a lot of changes with this team though. Personnel wise, I tend to agree with those who are saying that we are worse and there definitely need to be more changes, especially on the back end
