I take bergeron over staal any day of the week.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol:lol:lol You are a fantastic human, Matt.
Toews
Staal
Bergeron

IMO

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I think staal and bergeron are close, but toews is on a different level than them.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Lol looking at numbers of course people would take taves over staal. Staal plays on the third line with matt cooke and tyler kennedy. You give him first line and pp minutes instead of just es and pk minutes from the start of his career and he likely puts up numbers like taves. Personally, i dont even have taves in my top ten.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Agreed. With that in mind, should be:

Toews

Kevin Dineen



Staal
Bergeron

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You can see the difference just by watching them play. All 3 are very good defensively but toews has much better offensive instincts than bergeron and staal.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Toews - besides his skillset - has this air of quiet dignity and determination about him... not quite sure how to describe it but not every player has it. In 20 years we'll be talking about him the same way we talk about Steve Yzerman and Joe Sakic.

Maybe it's just a #19 thing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Toews > Everything

For real though, he needs to keep it up. He always gets going though late in the year and never cools down, this is the first hot streak of his in a while that I remember coming this early. Keep it the hell up.

And I'm sure Crosby will sit out when he has to play the Hawks in about 2 weeks.

All Hail:

PK9 Paul Kennedy
The gap between Jonathan Toews (62.3%) and the next best faceoff win% (58.7%) right now is larger than the gap between 2nd & 15th.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

On the other hand, Staal is one of the worst in the NHL at the dot this year.

I would love to have Staal, but to say he's on the same plane as Toews is beyond ridiculous. If you had a top 3 C's of Crosby - Malkin - Toews, you wouldn't even need a 4th line. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

maybe points wise, but if I'm making a team I'm putting Datsyuk at a C and Malkin on a wing

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

This thread is out of control. Jesus.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

if I were making a team, I would make the 3 best 2-way centers my centers.

Crosby, Toews, Datsyuk

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol You're such a moron.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol :lol


Sabres must be shooting beach balls tonight

EDIT: wow, did that get in? I looked away for a second and its a goal. thats a big goal

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That was a ridiculous period. Nice work by Kassian. Something tells me he won't be going back to Rochester anytime soon.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ryan Miller just made a save with his head without his helmet on. What The Fuck

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Ryan Miller looking awful. Sabres don't look that great every time I watch them.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

It's all Lucic's fault. Just ask Lindy Ruff.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Fuck You Buffalo

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I want to see Lindy Ruff whine after this game about something.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Leino should get a game for that. Buffalo will probably be happy about bot having him on the ice for a game. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Chicago fans are the worst. It's like a fleet of Brohans.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

don't be mad you got Staal, bro.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

they really are.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

All the Penguins are hurt now so all their fans have to get serious and can't joke around. I get it. It's not time for relaxing.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

nothing i said is false. you swap them out and we're probably talking about how overrated staal is and underrated toews is. the guy has never even touched 80 points but he is somehow on crosbys level. :lol:lol:lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

:lol:lol One of your resident idiots says that Jordan Staal is as good as Toews, sooooooooooo.....

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

That's not what that idiot, er me, said. I said I'd rather have Staal on a healthy Penguins roster.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

and you said toews is as good as crosby, so i guess we're both idiots?
