Johnny Gaudreau Should Be The New Face of Hockey

[Wadewilson]

Horrible defensively? Lol he's a + player in the tournament while your saviour McDavid forgets he's the fastest player in the NHL when he's playing defence and coasts back. And is also a - player in the tournament.

Gaudreau is real good defensively, which is why he's a + player on a team that gave up the most goals of any team last season.

You know you have a good arguement when you have to try and make other players look bad to prop your own.

 

[Spazkat]

Comparing a washout backup goalie to a 23 year old perennial all-star, top tier talent, and extremely likely hall of famer? Good joke.

Ironically Bryzgalov probably had one of the highest media exposure to talent ratios ever.

Bryz would make a GREAT representative for the NHL. Highly entertaining. I'd vote for him over Johnny Trademark in a minute

Gaudreau well.... you need to get over this huge man-crush thing you have going on and accept that a very large chunk of people don't agree with you

You know you have a good arguement when you have to try and make other players look bad to prop your own.

You know you have a bad argument when you can't refute a single point. Gaudreau is way better than any of the Oilers defensively not named RNH.

But maybe I should let the Oilers fan be the expert on bad defence.

I really didn't mean to offend all the insecure Oiler fans by not affirming their Messiah. I just think Gaudreau is more marketable. Sorry about that. He's still good at hockey and might even turn out to be better than Gaudreau but as of right now Johnny Hockey is 100 points ahead.

Plus Bryz knows it's just a game and you don't heff to be mad.

When did I ever force anyone to agree with me? Maybe you're the one who needs to accept that a large chunk of people disagree with you.

You go ahead and enjoy your boring hockey McRobot, it won't bother me one bit.

He doesn't have enough personality to be the face of the NHL and I don't think he would embrace that role.
P.K Subban should be the face of the NHL.

Bwahahahah you think I'm an Oilers fan? Im just fine with Sid (and to a lesser extent Ovi) being the recognizable faces of hockey - or Subban as others have mentioned.

<although for someone who doesn't care one bit, you've managed to reply to almost every person who didn't agree with reasons they were wrong. Seems like a lot of effort for someone who doesn't care to me>

To anyone that has been reading this thread, it's obvious that it bothers you quite a bit.

He should be the face of a breakfast cereal.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

I think Adam Pardy should be the new face of hockey.

He's already the face of Bonavista, Newfoundland

 

[qwerty]

The guy makes a couple nice plays, but also some terrible giveaways, and is horrible defensively (stopped skating on Forsbegs goal, let Sedin have a breakaway) and all of a sudden he's the face of hockey?

Most overrated player

I've actually been pretty impressed with how hard he's back-checked in this tournament. He's been the first forward on multiple occasions to break up a play or disrupt a good scoring chance. Although, he definitely was guilty of a couple poor reads in the 3 on 3 the other day. But thank goodness he doesn't do too much of that with the Flames.

Have to say though, your rationale for why he shouldn't be the face of hockey is rather odd since Ovechkin and Crosby are or were the faces of the NHL and they're just as guilty of bad turnovers and poor defensive plays i.e. Disconnected controller moments and -35 seasons.

I thought I was being polite by responding to critics in my own thread. Guess not? I'm out then have fun boys.

Lol.

 

[Ninety7]

You used his "good looks" as one of the reasons he should be face of the NHL. His looks.






LMAO

 

[Bixby Snyder]

That was just cringeworthy to read. Guadreau isn't the face of the NHL. Crosby is still the face of the NHL and Mcdavid will be the face of the NHL soon.

But neither of those guys are 'Ethnically Ambiguous' or universally LOVED by the ladies like Johnny is.

 

[vannuckles]

No one player should be the face of hockey. You do that, you shove him down people's throats, and they get tired of it and it's a turn-off. The game itself is the face of hockey and leave it at that.

Exactly what is happening with Little Johnny right now.

 

[vannuckles]

Great job OP. Hands down my fav thread this year.

 

[Ninety7]

This has to be a troll job. There's no way it isn't.

 

[vannuckles]

Kane, Benn, and Ovechkin are all clearly better, after that its up for debate depending what you value in a player. Personally I would rather have Blake Wheeler, Tarasenko, Hall, and Perry on my team over JG but I know there are others who totally dismiss size and physicality being a positive attribute that contributes to the overall package of a player.

This.............

Come playoff time, he would be the last guy out of your list I would want. Hearing all these people trying to sell, that size does not matter is comical.

That's like being the tallest midget

I wish I was ethnically ambiguous.

OP probably still wouldn't think you're as hot as Johnny Trademark. Seems to be quite infatuated
