The NHL Thread

[barbogast]

I have the link copied and ready to paste

I love how Kessel eats hot dogs from the Cup and we all come running to Ants to talk about it

You guys are the best. And thanks for the kind words regarding the Ville. That's why y'all are my favorite.

[Roose13]

Yep, born and raised. I don't wanna derail this thread as Kessel Cup Dogs are far more important, but yeah, this weekend hit hard for me

Now, back to the hot dogs!

I think the world just needs a little more Phil

Steve Simmons is your typical columnist. Takes cheap shots to get people to read his shit, but can't take it when one of his columns blows up in his face.

I'll give our columnist credit. He's written some that got a lot of backlash (and deservedly so) but I never hear him bitch and complain about it.

I found our 2017 Cup Champs!

[bradshaw06]

Cullen to the wild apparently. Would have preferred him to go out on top instead of coming back.

Oilers doing a good job keeping a solid core for a long time. Draisaitl - eight-years - $68 million.

Is hockey back yet? I hate this waiting period this close to the season

[TMoore4075]

Mother in-law said something about my xmas gift being tickets so I'll probably be going to two games now. The xmas gift would be during my break (and my brother inlaw's break) between xmas and new years so probably gonna be against your Rangers Greg.

Yes. And when speaking you need to emphasize and shout the Christ part

Torn pec for Travis Zajac. He's out 4-6 months. Yikes

NHL Network released their picks for the top 20 wings in the NHL right now. Thoughts on the list? Personally I think Ovechkin should be a bit higher on the list and I am curious as to why Pavelski is ranked so high - not that I do not believe he is an amazing player but he spent the vast majority of his career as a center - just like Benn!

1. Patrick Kane, Blackhawks.

2. Nikita Kucherov, Lightning.

3. Brad Marchand, Bruins.

4. Vladimir Tarasenko, Blues.

5. Jamie Benn, Stars.

6. Alex Ovechkin, Capitals.

7. Joe Pavelski, Sharks.

8. Patrik Lane, Jets.

9. Artemi Panarin, Blue Jackets.

10. Johnny Gaudreau, Flames.

11. Blake Wheeler, Jets.

12. Phil Kessel, Penguins.

13. Max Pacioretty, Canadiens.

14. Filip Forsberg, Predators.

15. David Pastrnak, Bruins.

16. Cam Atkinson, Blue Jackets.

17. Jeff Skinner, Hurricanes.

18. Wayne Simmonds, Flyers.

19. T.J. Oshie, Capitals.

20. Taylor Hall, Devils.

Agreed, I also think Tarasenko is a better wing than Marchand so I'd flip flop them, Kessel should be ranked higher and while he is a great talent it is a tad early to put Laine so high and even though I loved the guy on my team I think Panarin should be lower on the list but I am guessing the wow factor with his one timers played a part in his ranking - that and his calder!

I wasn't being serious about DB. Just being a homer.
