Is this the year of Cale?

6'2" and you need to take a minimum of one bad penalty a game OR land 10 hits. If you are bad at stickhandling, you also gain the "shut down" tag.

Oh hey, we have Graves for that!

If you have a problem with something I said feel free to say it. Not just hide behind your screen.

seems fairly straight forward

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Really?

Finally...

Pump the brakes a bit. If we're naming Norris favs this early it looks like a race between Petry and Nurse outside the usual suspects (Hedman, Pietrangelo, Josi).

To pick a dark horse, I'll throw out Provorov's name.

Did you really just say nurse is an early norris candidate?

 

[Three On Zero]

Last week: The Oilers don't have an NHL defense
This week: Darnell Nurse for Norris

Nurse being considered for a Norris really has me questioning peoples sanity

I think he did say it tho

 

[Scorcho]

If he doesn't miss many games due to injury that's good. Doesn't take away the fact that he's played only 11 vs. 15-20 for most other guys.

and hes done more in 11 than most of those other dudes have in 15-20

 

[Scorcho]

The 15 minutes of fame are almost up. Time for spinach to make a comeback.

Popeye demands it.

It’s far too early for this discussion, but if Makar is beaten out it won’t be by Darnell Nurse. Even if he does put up an inflated point total playing in the North Division.

Honestly, that Hot Take was the funniest part of my morning so far

Since you mention "more" and not "better" you must be referring to counting stats like points, goals, assists, +/-, shots, ice time, hits, blocked shots, none of which he leads defencemen in. So what exactly has he done more of?

Provided value to his team? isn't that what the norris is about? Most Impactful defenseman overall?

Measured by what metric?

You are describing quality, not quantity.

What point are you trying to make?

or are you just being contrarian for the sake of it?

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

I'm trying to eat more, I hear it's good for you.

 

[Primary Assist]

I feel like 2013 was the year of Kale, at least that's when I remember buzzfeed making all those stupid lists about it. That and quinoa.

 

[Scorcho]

Quinoa never left, ya heard?

You said he's done "more" in less games. More what? Not more scoring.

more.... "good"? Is that really your answer?
