Hi everyone

[VAcaniac]

who is the other one?

the one leading the entire league in goals?

The one leading his team to multiple stanley cups?

Pretty remarkable 10 years into his career...

In the last 10 years, there have been what? 2 guys that have led their teams to "multiple stanley cups"? I'm not commenting on Ovi's ability as a leader, but even Crosby has only led his team to 1 stanley cup (and some would argue Malkin was more responsible than Crosby).

I was joking about the multiple part. He doesn't even have one.

I was joking about the multiple part. He doesn't even have one.

My point being that in the last 10 years, only 7 teams (LA twice, Chi twice, 1 lockout) have a cup: LAK, CHI, PIT, DET, BOS, ANA, CAR. Saying he's invisible because he doesn't have a cup would mean that most of the captains in the NHL are invisible. I'm not commenting on his ability, or inability to lead / be "visable", just saying that I don't agree with that as a valid metric to prove it.

True. But even more remarkable is the fact that they haven't even made it to the ECF.

When M. Jordan scored his first goal the other night, it was Faulk that went and got the puck for him and Staal was on the ice. May not be much but I found it a bit....odd.

Oh geez

 

[raynman]

to be honest, nobody on the ice looked like they were happy when m.jordan scored. look at the non-reactions from tlusty and lindholm.

i think this is clear evidence that m. jordan is a locker room cancer.

I think it's actually evidence that EVERYBODY ELSE is a locker room cancer.


Keep Jordan, trade the rest.

 

[raynman]

I bet Semin would've grabbed the puck for Jordan.

I don't think it's that remarkable. IMO, they weren't built for playoff hockey. Playoff hockey, becomes a tighter checking, possession game where defense and goaltending is more important. They were more "run and gun" during the regular season, but really never had strong defense or goaltending.

That's Ovechkins fault for not leadershipping them properly you bafoon!

Edit: didn't even realize where this thread starter (on page 2 no less, kudos Canes board). Very sorry for your loss Kev.

I hear Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and Toni Kukoc are not doing anything these days. We could sign them for cheap.

Well, the team is in desperate need of some veteran leadership, so...

Yeah, I guess friend is a bit of a stretch....he did help in the "hand picking" though...
