Re: The NHL Thread
Classic offseason post, but NHL Network just released their top 20 forwards in the NHL list. Let's discuss:

Re: The NHL Thread
Connor McDavid being that high on the list already is ludicrous. Already better than Patrice Bergeron? Give me a break.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Kucherov over Backstrom?
Kane over Crosby? Johnny Hockey over Giroux? Hmm.... |
Re: The NHL Thread
They are looking at Kucherov in the playoffs the last two years but I take Backstrom over him easily. Kane over Crosby?

Seriously, though, he's not better than Bergeron yet. Quote:
Edit: Where's Phil the Thrill? List is bogus. :lol |

Re: The NHL Thread
Agree with DG, list definitely needs more Kessel

Re: The NHL Thread
List is questionable in a lot of areas. Some of them mentioned already.

Re: The NHL Thread
One of my favorite NHL stories. I know it's been around for a long time, but worth revisiting.

Re: The NHL Thread
I loved Hullie. He was so much fun to listen to and watch here. Also makes me wonder had Avery been able to stick around with the older guys (was traded as part of the Mathieu Schneider deal in 03) maybe he wouldn't have been quite as big of a douche. Hull even commented as much during that old ESPN the season documentary saying Avery talks so much he made Hull seem like he was silent and he just needs to learn.

Re: The NHL Thread
:lol fucking Avery.

There's certain players that come through the NHL that earn this reverence that's almost beyond normal respect for veterans, and Sakic was one of them. I think it usually came from the class, humility, and hard work they exhibited throughout their careers. Guys like Lidstrom, Yzerman, and Bourque are other examples. Guys wouldn't cheap shot 'em, wouldn't chirp at them, etc. Really cool. |
Re: The NHL Thread
2002 that beat the ever loving shit out of each other part was gone and was more of a respect type hatred cause they were 2 of the best teams in the league. Still fun. Probably the best overall series they ever had against each other. 96, 97 and 99 were all 6 games but they weren't all that close in reality. Matty's right there was a respect out there. They "hated" Sakic in a I hate that you beat us.

Re: The NHL Thread
I know there's a thread for him and I think Chris and Tim were in there. But since he played, loved, and knew what he was talking aboot regarding our favorite sport.... RIP to ESPN's John Saunders.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Saunders was supposed to be one of the leaders for the World Cup of Hockey for ESPN...
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Saunders definitely deserves a mention in here. RIP to a great hockey personality and greats sports personalities. He was truly one of the best. Selfishly, it's super disappointing to learn he was gonna lead the World Cup coverage, I would've loved to hear him behind the mic talking/calling hockey again.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Yeah, him and Bucci were going to be in the studio with Chelios and Brett Hull (and Adnan Virk? I don't know who that is).
Wonder who will replace him. Steve Levy is calling games, so I don't know. Either way, it won't be as good. |
Re: The NHL Thread
No, it won't be. That's just too sad.
On a related note, totally blows this tournament happens during baseball season. How amazing would it be if they got Thorne on board? |
Re: The NHL Thread
Saunders is a good guy, but honestly, I cannot stand that ESPN has this tournament.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
I'd never heard of Jamie Oleksiak of the Stars until his 16 year swimmer sister Penny suddenly became the most loved Canadain of the moment.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
Glad to see Saunders got a mention. Good job guys. Rip Mr Saunders.
|
Re: The NHL Thread
So speaking of the play by play, Levy will do it, who else? Bucci? They bringing Doc over? I like Bucci in studio but he's not a good play by play guy, no offense to him. Not that I could do it but he's no Levy, Doc, Strader, Thorne or anyone else I might be missing from the ESPN/ABC days.
