Not after QoT adjustments. Everyone on the Flames was negative straight CORSI.

 

Yea, I don't think any of the commonly done teammate adjustments are worth much. It's a far more dynamic system than the simple accounting style adjustments that are used. (That's not a shot at you. I'm just not happy with anything available publicly).

FWIW...I found it interesting that media ex-hockey players have brought up his 2-way hockey, and brought up Datsyuk defensively, that's high praise.

 

Any sort of Datsyuk comp is pretty blasphemous.

Price, Dubnyk, and Rinne are Vezina finalists. Schneider snubbed.

This is what I assumed.

Rangers just won in 5.

Pitt had no chance, no D explains it all.

I'm pretty sure it was their lack of offense that did them in more than anything. Four 2-1 losses.

 

Of course, it helps having any defenseman that can make that good first pass out of the zone...which they did not have, with Letang out.

[Spanky99]

Pffffftt......

 

... say poop

[Spanky99]

Stan Fischler's a turd.

I miss the Habs v Leafs rivalry already ... Could be a boring few years on that front and that sort of sucks.

I'd say the Habs vs Sens has taken it over. Sens vs Leafs doesn't have that same feel to it either. Of the NHL rivalries maybe only Pit vs Philly is a bigger one.

Isles are out...

I know it's semantics but is Malkin even an "elite" player? Point per game, sure, but I can think of a lot of guys I would want before him.

Malkin is easily elite. Problem with him will always be health.

[Laika]

Depends on definition of elite. Top 30 in game, then of course. Top 10? No.

Tarasenko

Ovie

Pavelski

Crosby

Toews

Seguin

Tavares

Kane

Giroux

Voracek

Steen

Benn

Datsyuk (old)

Thornton (old)

 

Exactly

[Horses Fart]

Crazy ending to the NYR-WAS game.

 

Yes your f***in right. I have the Rangers in my pool so they better turn it around. Oh was that hit good???

[Nox]

When Geno is 100% healthy/motivated - easily top 5 C in the game. Unfortunately that combination is becoming more and more rare.

 

He did seem genuinely embarrassed about getting shutout by the Rangers though. That might light a fire under him.

Yeah a few years ago he was a for sure top 3 player. Seems like he is slowing down a bit now but he definitely still has the talent to be a top 5/10 player.

[canadiansportsjunkie]

OOPS Bishop lol

[Spanky99]

Wow...Wiese had the game on his stick.
