I like that assessment.

 

[Automattic]

I've got Stamkos on my fantasy team!:p


But seriously, did you see Datsyuk stop on a dime in front of the net earlier this week!?

I thought he was making some decent money?

Or Valerie.

Jody Shelley

Best goaltender right now: Rinne

meh, if you're gonna go with Rinne, an argument could be made for Brent Johnson

Tim Thomas is tearing up the stats right now tho.

 

[Darkstone42]

Tonight will feature a couple of the candidates for this thread's honor. It should be interesting to see, of course.

 

[dare2be]

I won't get to see it as NHL Centre Ice isn't showing it as the Tampa Fox Sports feed is in my market. The Fox Sports networks on Dish Network are going thru a contract dispute so no Fox Sports for me.

Best hockey name: Cal Clutterbuck

This title should belong to Nino Niederreiter, imo

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Gotta go Cal Clutterbuck.

I just like the name.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Jody Shelley

Oh yeah?

Try calling him that to his face!!

I'm saying "right now", but I'm only including proven talent. Johnson is a career journeyman backup who happens to be playing well during October for a Cup contender.

Rinne had a monster year last season and has looked huge into this year. In front of him, he has Shea Weber, Ryan Suter, and stuff. I take that back, stuff and a few things.

I don't know, that name just oozes Formula One racing to me. He sounds like he should have Roberto Luongo's hair, a silk shirt, and enough chest hair to choke a goat.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

This isn't even close. It's COREY PERRY by a landslide. After all when every team in the league hates playing against you and an entire message board has nothing but bad things to say about him, he MUST be doing a lot of things RIGHT.:p

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

you people are all stupids and stuff.

Chad LaRose.

Obviously.

Sheesh.




don't forget to vote

 

[elocomotive]

Alex Ovechkin. Who am I to argue with hundreds of professional hockey players?

Gary Bettman?
