Is that the same Barzal had Sweeney drafted we would have gone 81-0?
You are correct, Anze.
Am I the only one who is just not all that impressed by Connor McDavid?
only with Jared Knight and Zach Senyshyn as his wingersIs that the same Barzal had Sweeney drafted we would have gone 81-0?
Yes I meant off the ice.I imagine you mean off the ice; he's a bit awkward and can be camera shy. I've seen his girlfriend's Instagram posts of their European vacation, and McDavid is very unassuming and doesn't seem to enjoy being in front of the camera.
On the ice, what can you say? Skating, shooting, play-making - when his career is over years from now, I'd be surprised if he wasn't mentioned in the same breath as the greatest players I've seen in my lifetime.
First day of summer and you are just such a meanieonly with Jared Knight and Zach Senyshyn as his wingers

I watched a bit of it, though rather disinterestedly.
I dont really understand their choices of celebrities....They all seemed disconnected and silly. I appreciated it the year they had the little kids come out and talk (one did it for Vezina, I think he had a Kiprusoff jersey on).
The Humboldt players' appearance bout' tore me up.
I wish they would just stick to the basics. No more awkward celebrities. Linda Carters performance last night was just slightly less cringe-worthy than when NBC has Susan Sarandon on during the game in MSG.
No more lame music acts (did they really have to play that "High Hopes" song again last night?).
No more poor attempts to be funny and entertaining. Seriously did we really need the two guys from On the Bench AND the two actors playing hockey players from Letterkenny?
The only people watching this award show stuff is kids and die-hard hockey fans. Cater to your core audience. Hand out the awards, have the presenters be, oh I don't know, former players and personalities form the sport of hockey. Basic, simple. Trying all this other stuff isn't going to get more eyeballs on your product. If anything, a casual fan or non-fan watching this tire fire of an awards show might get turned off more than excited to get more into hockey.
Bruins get **** on again. Chara only getting one Norris says it all.
Lidstrom got 7.
7.
Love those high flying Wings.

Charlie made the all-rookie team.
Not sure it’s a big enough deal to warrant its own thread, but who would be your “All Rookie” 2nd team?
The rest of the Bruins rookiesNot sure it’s a big enough deal to warrant its own thread, but who would be your “All Rookie” 2nd team?
Colageo explains his vote. I'm digging this whole transparency thing already.
True confessions: I didn’t take the hometown guy
SELKE TROPHY
1. Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles
2. Aleksander Barkov, Florida
3. Patrice Bergeron, Boston
4. Sean Couturier, Philadelphia
5. Brayden Point, Tampa Bay
Two questions: Who’s the best defensive forward in the world? Patrice Bergeron. Which among the NHL’s elite defensive forwards had the best overall season? Anze Kopitar, and Aleksander Barkov was right behind him. Sean Couturier, meanwhile, is a heckuva hockey player whose new role between Claude Giroux and Jakub Voracek grew his offensive impact and statistics. And, as Brayden Point showed us in the postseason, he can be a two-way problem in the middle. Bergeron had a funny season, and by that I mean his role was severely altered by the propensity shared by longtime linemate Brad Marchand and 2017-18 linemate David Pastrnak to keep the puck. Since his Stanley Cup-winning goal in Vancouver seven years ago, Bergeron has slowly been reinventing himself as a finisher. Along with the kind of support a dad would offer a couple of sons going out to play, Bergeron has stood back and let the boys play, filling in as he sees fit without spoiling their fun. Meantime, he was kicked out of a lot of faceoffs this past season amidst new rules and stricter enforcement of traditional rules. At the end of the day, Bergeron is always a Hart Trophy-type player and a Selke-type player in my eyes. But he’s not entirely alone in his class so when another monster like Kopitar knocks his season out of the park, the latter gets the hardware.
