Ongoing NHL thread - Part deux

Still going to nut punch Doug MacLean if I ever see him.

Get in line

Get in line

If we spread out, we stand a better chance of finding him.

It's true, black does have a slimming effect

Interesting to see Stoll got signed. Let's see if his arrest this year was an isolated incident or something that will be a long term issue.

presumably he has learned to let someone else carry his drugs.

I know how we love lists. Not the ORM, so feel free to whine.

And Now For Something Completely Serious: Ranking The Top 25 NHL Centers In 2015-16 - Yahoo Sports Canada

I will start. Yes, Getzlaf is Messier-esque.

Johansen is not like Getzlaf though. Giroux, Thornton, Spezza? Yes, in ways. Not Getzlaf.

10. Claude Giroux, Philadelphia: You didn’t think Jakub Voracek broke out all by himself, did you?

Ron Hextall did.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Hudler's a centre?

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

That's a whole lot of hono(u)rable mentions.

Hudler's a centre?

That's news to me (and possibly Jiri as well)

I think the top 10 are pretty spot on.

I might move Stamkos down a few pegs (hasn't been the same post-broken leg) but other than that, yeah.

Kinda take issue with 3 of the top 18 centres playing for the Sharks, though. Mostly because Pavelski barely plays as a centre, but whatever.

Malkin gets a lot of turns on the wing as well. Not as much since one plan Dan left, but still.

Obviously, I'd like to see Joey in the top ten, but can't think of who I'd move down to get him there. He'll just have to win the scoring title this year to improve his stock.

I like the fact that Moneyhands got an hono(u)rable mention, keep flying under the radar kid.

/It's going to be tough to continue to do so if he keeps putting up 30+ goal seasons, though.

Do we need a NWHL thread?

In other news, I think Scrivens found a way to get out of Edmonton.


Note: It's actually his wife, they met when they both played at Cornell.

RyJo will probably be in there in place of Dats, unless Tyler Johnson goes HAM this winter.

Looking again, why is Kopitar so far down there? He's a higher-scoring Jonathan Toews with one less Cup.

Caption: Hey Nyquist, I know you been sad ever since your dad signed for Toronto so I had these custom bed sheets made for u so u always can be close to him #detroit#detroitredwings#babcock#nyquist#separationanxiety#nhl

Damn, how could you get any sleep under those noisy bed sheets...

Yeah...but is he a leader? Can he, single handedly, without scoring many points, will his team to victory? I think not.
