Player Discussion Mikko Koivu (Part II)

[Ban Hammered]

Except Parise might be the least liked guy in the locker room

Hot take

Nah... The hot take is above... And something I'd like you to prove.

 

[2Pair]

Brodin, Oates, Yeo, Koivu. Of course, you're smart enough to understand the words "might be". Correct?

 

[Ban Hammered]

Brodin, Oates, Yeo, Koivu. Of course, you're smart enough to understand the words "might be". Correct?

So... Certain people may have had a problem...nothing that has been proven that I recall... And you go with that.
And yes... I know might be... It's still a ridiculous statement to make without proof.

And yes... I know might be... It's still a ridiculous statement to make without proof.

It's ridiculous to say that Parise might not be the most liked guy in the locker room because he has a tendancy to piss teammates off? Yeah, that makes sense.

You've never gotten into an argument with a friend or family member before?
Parise is an intense competitor... Those people can rub others the wrong way at times... Doesn't mean or even come close to mean that he isn't liked in the room. It's a massive stretch to extrapolate certain incidents into an overall dislike.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

When did he piss off Koivu? Honestly don't remember.

 

[Ban Hammered]

I don't remember Brodin... Or Oates for that matter.

 

[2Pair]

Then how are you even in the conversation? Educate yourself

 

[Ban Hammered]

Then how are you even in the conversation? Educate yourself

I can argue a premise without needing to remember specific incidents... As I did above.
Likely these incidents were nothing anyway if they aren't memorable.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I don't remember Brodin... Or Oates for that matter.

Brodin was during the Johansen trade rumors. Oates was the PP thing that he and Suter did, but that against Yeo.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Brodin was during the Johansen trade rumors. Oates was the PP thing that he and Suter did, but that against Yeo.

Well yeah I remember Oates coming in and that pissing off Yeo. I don't remember Parise pissing off Oates though.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Are you serious?

How is the captaincy a popularity contest? Answer the question.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

How is the captaincy a popularity contest? Answer the question.

Well, it's probably not a good idea to name an unpopular player as captain.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Well, it's probably not a good idea to name an unpopular player as captain.

Sure. You know who Parise reminds me of? Jonathan Toews. I’d bet money certain players on the Blackhawks don’t like him cause he’s on the player’s asses all the damn time.

 

[57special]

I don't see him ever retiring then. He just doesn't seem like the type of guy that ever tears up.

That was so...cheap.

 

[Binister]

Granny as captain? … maybe … I'm seeing Dumba is a strong candidate in a year or two.

Granny's been captain for Finnish national team. He's a good guy for that.

 

[HwT]

Koivu with 4+12=16 in 18 games. I know it's still early in the season, but the people in this thread who were ready slit their own wrists over Koivu's decline and the remaining cap hit (5,5 mil with 1½ years remaining) are starting to look mighty silly.

 

[BagHead]

He has definitely been worth his contract so far this season. As silly as this sentence is, if he keeps scoring like he is, he may win the Selke finally!

With the way Bergeron is playing it will be a tall task though

I think there is some voter fatigue with Bergeron. Especially given that he's not really playing a "shut down" role anymore.

No, I won't, and you can't make me!

Koivu is the one who looks silly, playing like a teenager out there! Have some dignity and act your age!

 

[WildNorway]

Old finnish man, soon on a mobility scooter, outplays 20 year olds, i love the Skipper.

Hopefully he will get some silverware soon, wich he deserves.

 

[AJ Thelen]

Granny's been captain for Finnish national team. He's a good guy for that.

Granlund was captain for Finland last WC because Koivu didn't participate. But yes, he could be a good candidate. So could a lot of others though.
