Ongoing NHL Thread - Part Brock and Roll Four Lines

[Slimpikins]

Pavs never put up big points, his thing was big moments. If he had some some awards or a cup or two, he’d have a much better case

I think you’ll hear talk of him being HOF worthy while emotions are up but when they calm back down in a few years, they talk will die out. I think he’s a very good player but not quite HOF great

 

[Slimpikins]

From those Sharks teams, I think Jumbo is the only guy that gets in. Marleau is borderline but I don’t think the games played is enough

 

[Comeds]

1332 games, 1068 points. Darn good but his highest point total was 81. Don’t recall him being a finalist for any trophies but I could have forgotten something.

71st all time in scoring, names in that group include Fleury, H Sedin, Taylor, Giroux, Daddy Tkachuk, Whitney, Mullen, Staal, Verbeek.

Tough HoF call.

Damphousse 1378 games, 1205 points, 90 points multiple times

Sorry Joe, no HOF

If Corey Perry can get in then so can little Jim.

No way Thornton gets in, he didn't even make the NHL Top 100 list several years ago...

That's fair. But I would have him on my roster any day. Even now, still producing at a very respectable rate.

“Teams in states with no income tax have an unfair advantage” says adorable rube who thinks NHL players pay tax like normal people

Windsor, ON – Local NHL fan/non-accountant Mark Wilinsky has determined that the reason teams like Tampa, Florida and Vegas are consistently good is because they play in states with no state income tax, which makes it easier to attract players who definitely pay their taxes like a regular...

As the article points out, Florida also had no tax when the Panthers were terrible.

Yeah you have to spend above the floor for it to help lol

They really should have started the Finals by now. I have too much time on my hands.

So, PLD. The Kings say they wont buy him out, but just in case they reconsider, I wonder:

If the Finals end with a Game 6 (played in EDM starting at 8 pm EDT) on June 21, what is the buyout status for PLD?

AFAIK, the buyout window starts 48 hours after the Finals ends
PLD turns 26 on June 24
The buyout cost is 1/3 for a 25 year old, and 2/3 for a 26 year old

So if Game 6 ends at 11pm EDT on June 21, could the Kings buy him out at 11pm on June 23 when he is still 25 years old?



Probably irrelevant since the Panthers are going to sweep the Oilers, but I always liked chaos theory

How USA Hockey hopes to dramatically change the way goalies are developed

How can more young players be attracted to play in goal? It might start with the way practices are conducted.

Hockey is dead in the states. Cricket is the new hot toy. Look elsewhere for goalies.
