NHL: Around the League 45

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Duncan Keith is one of the top forty-fifty defenseman to ever play the game. Chelios is probably closer to the top ten-fifteen.

Keith is better performer when it matters most and not a complete POS

Keith > Chelios

Don’t know about him being a POS but his partying in his Montreal years is legendary !

Hey guys,

First post here so I apologize if I am off topic or at the wrong place but I need Hawks fans opinion. Having an argument with my 17 year old son the question is :

At the end of the day and at the prime of their respective careers who of Keith or Chelios was a better D.

We are both habs fans from Montreal but we disagree on this one.

The gap between Chelios and his peers was greater than the gap between Keith and his peers.

I'm not sure that makes him better in a vacuum, but it makes his impact on his teams larger.

The AHL logo is better than the big clubs.

I've already seen a few cracks that this means they're locked in to now have to make an ECHL-level Bronze Knights now.

One of the best posts I have seen from an nhl player (I am not huge on social media so I am sure I missed a lot).

Only saying this because it’s in the NHL thread, but I was hoping Toews was going to say how pumped he is to be back in the playoffs and what it meant to him.

Obviously what he did say is still awesome though.

I'm sure he's pumped, and that statement will come closer to the play-in round, but a post like that right now would be tone-deaf.

1) These guys are bottom of the barrel, lowest common denominator, sports entertainment "news" pundits. They've spent years and especially the last few months talking about absolutely nothing.

2) Unfortunately they do have a mysteriously large audience so I hope this isn't damaging to hockey in the US or the NHL as a whole.

3) It's extra important that the NHL gets back on TV now. Them being the only live sport on television (with the UFC) could be huge for them. I really hope this all works out.

People who get upset and respond to hot take nothingness feed the beast and help sustain it. Don’t point more eyeballs toward these guys.

SAS is a known hockey hater. He once bragged about being proud to have previously not known that an NHL team existed in Columbus (which, to be fair, would've been true for a decent segment of casual NHL fans at the time).

He doesn't care, don't give him the time of day because he continues to vocally not care.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Apparently it's controversial around here to like SAS and Kellerman...

SAS is a blowhard and Max Kellerman wants to call something a nothing sport when he made his name off of Boxing of all things.

They're idgits!
NHL should consider a new marketing campaign that subtly conveys that hockey appeals to the more intelligent sports fan .. you know .. due to the speed of the game.
That will leave these two stooges in the dust.

All I know is that ESPN is only good for actual broadcast games (oftentimes on mute) and documentaries. As someone that lived on sportscenter in the late 90s/early 2000s, I honestly don't care two craps about their million overpaid taking heads trying to outshout each other.

Yeah, sportscenter was great back in the day, but then espnews came out and gave you all the same info and highlights in half the time. At this point it's all obsolete.

Which is why they need guys like Kellerman and Smith saying ridiculous shit to stay relevant. I would have no idea who Max Kellerman was if it wasn’t for the random viral video of him saying something ridiculous that pops up every now and then on my social media feed. I just don’t understand why so many people still eat it up.
