Miscellaneous NHL Talk XLIII - April showers

[Starat327]

Here ya go

"And lastly I'll say, there's one other guy - I believe - in hockey today, that's still working in the game, that has won more Stanley Cups than me. So I think I know a little bit about winning, if there's ever a concern."



Also, just want to point out how funny it is that they blame their success in the 80's for their current terrible teams (before this video and up until now).



The part you're talking about is at 1:47 in the video above. You had it pretty close.

Has someone come in with the inevitable "How many cups did you win?" Yet?

Kovy should be in.
Im biased as he's my favorite non-Flyer ever but only Ovi is above him in terms of goalscoring the past 25 years.

Gut feeling is that I would vote for him too. It’s just that Scoring totals and averages are often quoted for him without in any way accounting for the ridiculous PP time he got. He had a couple of seasons averaging right around 7 Minutes of PP time per game. He’s got something like a third of the top 20 highest single game PP Minute totals since they’ve been tracked.

This last bit is more trivia than anything else, but he does hold the NHL record for PP time in a single game with 20:05.

I agree. How can anyone say that is a fair trade? Sure let’s tear down the depth the Flyers have for one very good player.
I hang up the phone as they are saying Travis Konecny .

so you wouldnt trade Konecny for Eichel? he is a top player in the league not just a very good one.

 

[rinaldo]

I think Eichel can and will be a 100 point player. Question is, would you rather have one 100 point player or two 70 point players + Frost/Farabee/Patrick + 1st?
I would offer a lot to get Eichel, but I'm not trading half our top 6 for him.

what would you offer? It goes beyond just points. Jake has been putting up points for years and what does the team have to show for it. Eichel is one of the best in the game.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Ah, so the first half of the lottery is tomorrow, is that correct?

Yep. 8PM EST.

Something to be said for elite talent, but I’d rather keep our depth. Especially with a good coach like AV.

That's really the line of thought you are going to take when talking about the captain and best player of 2nd biggest dumpster fire in the NHL? Bold move, Cotton.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Kevin Lowe.

You know that expression "steaming pile of shit"? That originated when, one winter's night in Edmonton, Kevin Lowe was observed standing outside holding a hot cup of coffee.

True. Mother****ing. Story.

Vancouver’s health standards being too high should be met with repulsion.

I'm not mocking climate change but

 

[pit]

I don't get the disdain, but that might be because I think that pretty much every stadium who has sold their naming rights has a useless name. This is no dumber than Jobing.com Arena or Guaranteed Rate Field.

At least the Big Bank Center hasn't changed names in a decade.

I just think it’s dumb. But I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re saying. I did like how sports stadiums used to be regular names & not sponsors before big business took over.

It still exists some in college football for example (non-sponsor stadium names) but in some cases traditions are too strong there that money hasn’t been able to overcome to this point.

There are still a handful of professional stadiums that are free of it: Fenway, Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards, Lambeau Field, Wrigley Field and I think a few others. And sure, some corporate names sound less obnoxious than others, but it's just a matter of degrees to me.

Pittsburgh Penguins, the luckiest franchise of all time...

Carey Price uneasy about return to play. Sounds like he will when it comes down to it, but it’s not like he’s saying “Let’s murder these f***ers”.

And Wrigley is actually one of them - we just don't care because it sounds nice If, e.g., Kellogg's sponsored a stadium, or we had a "Folger's Field" (maybe in Milwaukee, to f*** with Chicago via rhyme), we probably wouldn't mind too much. Even "Minute Maid Park" isn't too offensive, aside from all the cheating going on inside.

 

[Appleyard]

The only issue I have with it is that it is simply greenwashing... a drop of good in an ocean while branding it... despite Amazon's other practices outweighing it 10,000x over.

I can't blame Seattle for it though. It is better to have a green arena paid for by someone else than the same or more money from someone not doing that.
