Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Callahan looks like he might miss the Olympics. Another injury blow to team USA and the Rangers.
As far as NY goes, I don't see this team turning things around right now. I know it could happen, but they have not shown any sign of being able to do it. Staal and Callahan are two fantastic players. But they are too important to our line up and are ALWAYS injured. If they are going to insist on keeping this guy as head coach, I really wouldn't mind blowing this team up and starting with players that would be good in his system. Why not? Does anyone here really think this current Rangers roster has a chance of winning a cup in the next 5 years?? We can't even compete in our division, how are we supposed to compete against the west? |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
The Rangers should just trade the rest of their good players to columbus :lol
Seriously, I think they got absolutely robbed on the Nash trade. Dubinsky is such a gamer. |

Hope it gets better, man. :thumbsup Take the Avs. I know I'm a little biased, and it's not like the Avs are the perfect example yet, but I love the approach they have taken and I think it will start really paying off in the next season or so (already has started, but still some bumps to get over). They decided on their core pieces: Duchene, Landeskog, Johnson, Varlamov. Then, they build around them. Not going after "the best", but looking at the strengths of each and then adding pieces slowly. John Mitchell, PA Parenteau, Giguere, Sarich, Guenin, Talbot. Not the biggest names by any stretch, but the right ones for their team dynamic. |

He is a great scorer.
Calling him a great anything else is a disservice to the word great. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
I thought you had to score to win games? My bad.
He is one of the top 2-3 scorers of the era. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Chances Bron is actually Barry Melrose?
I say 60-65% |

Ovechkin is one of the most talented players in the game. If he played to his full potential night in and night out, he might be the best in the league in terms of pure outright hockey skill. It's kind of sad to think about that, really. EDIT: :thumbsup to Mr. Mornay |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Disagree Matty.
I think Crosby is better in pretty much every aspect. If Crosby wanted to cherry pick he could score that much too. |

But if you were to take all that out and somehow gauge pure, technical hockey talent without any other intangibles... Ovie might just have it. It would be close, for sure. :thumbsup But then again, so much of a player's talent is derived from his attitude, so an experiment like the one mentioned above would probably be fruitless and impossible. All that being said, I hope it's absolutely 100% clear by previous comments I've made over the years that if I had to choose between Crosby and Ovie, the choice would be clear. EDIT: And how dare you disagree with me right after I agreed with you? Screw you, man. ;) |

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Way too easy to jump on the "Ovechkin is overrated" bandwagon. He has already had a long and ridiculous career showing he is one of the greatest players of his generation. There are plenty of great players who were not strong defensively and obviously AO is in that category. But c'mon he is absolutely one of the best players of the post-first-lockout era.

That's the thing that's infuriating about him to me that maybe I'm not articulating well enough. Yes, I've said it like 3 times today, Ovechkin is TREMENDOUSLY talented. Marty, you say, "not strong defensively", and that's the thing: Ovechkin has all the skill in the world to be defensively strong, he just chooses not to. THAT's what bugs me most about him.
And yeah, I'm the mechanic at the shop where the Ovechkin-is-overrated bandwagon goes for its monthly maintenance. |

BTW, going off me and Schreibs's brief talent discussion, Datsyuk would be right up there as well. If I'm a GM building a team from scratch and I can have any player on my roster, I think Dats would be my first pick. I heart him so much. |

I've got a great idea. Perhaps during Team Russia Olympic practices, they can tie Ovechkin to a short tether connected to Datsyuk so he has to follow Datsyuk anywhere he goes on the ice. Perhaps then he'll get an idea as to what it means to really play an all-around game. |

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
Aaaaannnnnddddd Harnell continues to show that he's a classless fuck. Seriously BAFFLES me how his scumbag "Bertuzzi-esque" punch last week was so overlooked.
That guy is seriously a piece of shit. |
6 goals in 3 straight games.
3 shitty opponents though. |
Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
