Injury Report: The Official Bryan Rust is Mid Thread

[BusinessGoose]

How many points could Sid have scored if he played with prime Rust, though? That's the question we need answered.

Numbers are pretty much a fake concept anyway. Have you ever seen a number 4 in the wild, breathing the same air as you? Didn’t think so.

It's interesting to imagine a world where Hossa re-signs and Sid doesn't get hurt a bunch. Do we end up with the same amount of cups still? Maybe.

I do know Sid/Hossa's regular season dominance wouldn't have been absurd.

But this is the Bryan Rust thread. And our man is elevating himself back into superstardom.

How do you know what crows call each other? Maybe they are fours?

He's Penguins years Pascal Dupuis, with Powerplay time.

If Rust was Derek Zoolander, that would be his Blue Steel.

He has one move, and that is it.

Didn't Dupuis get his name on the 2016 Cup?

If Dupuis played with Prime Crosby and Kunitz, he could have scored 160 points in a season and I'm not kidding.

Crosby's prime years.

I've thought about this, too. Obviously it's nice to not have to worry, because the Pens won 3 Cups. But I think Hossa is the most under-appreciated player I've watched in my lifetime. He was a BEAST all over the ice. I think he should have won a Selke. Guy just had insanely high hockey IQ. Could shoot, pass, and skate with the best of them, too. Shame we never got to see a prolonged period of Sid/Hoss together.

Really felt like him and Sid had figured each other out by the time the 08 playoffs ended too. The chemistry was there.

Hossa really needs to look in the mirror, and despite winning with CHI eventually, really needs to say "i could have BEEN somebody..." to himself

This. Goes. All. The. Way. To. The. Top!

It is still wild to me that the second greatest Slovak hockey player of all time had to jump to three cup contending franchises to actually win.

Now that I think about it, wasn’t there some weird Mikita thing for Hossa choosing Chicago anyhow?

From Yohe's post game article:

Rust, incidentally, is so good right now that even on a night when he has no points and was a minus-2, I was impressed with him.

From Yohe's post game article:

lol, it must suck to be an actual fan of Bryan Rust and to realize you're stuck there with Josh Yohe.

Also, no clearer sign that Yohe reads this board than his flailing articles as of late.
