I have to pick from those?

It's easily the #NHLmetoo thing. Some crazy stuff happened with that for a bunch of teams.

 

[Sam Spade]

Neither. All the coaches (and a GM) being fired is the story of this NHL season.

Also McDavid is apparently fine so this is "old news" and the Gritty thing will turn out to be nothing.

I would also add if Mike Babcock never gets fired we never hear about that story about Mitch Marner and the list he was told to write, which means none of the events after that are never known.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Neither of these are even close to the biggest stories of the year and I'd venture that they might not even be the biggest stories for their respective teams.

 

[Pyrophorus]

I think its Grapes' firing.

 

[Kcb12345]

Jim Montgomery being randomly fired was pretty shocking

Or the other like 5-6 coaches?

Between Don a Cherry and the #NHLmetoo

 

[Brucelenok]

None of those. So far first lacrosse goal ever in NHL by Svech.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Didn’t Bure tear his pcl and that led to his shortened career?

 

[The Macho King]

Can we not define a racist getting fired as a #MeToo thing? Pretty damn different.

Only one coach was fired for player abuse. Another was fired for personal issues. Everyone else was fired for performance reasons.

it’s Been a long time coming,
Black NHL players have been talking about racism for decades. Why did it take so long to listen? | The Star

This. That national disgrace infecting the NHL is certainly the biggest story.

Bure's injuries never healed properly, it was too bad because he was a hell of a talent.

Yes and sounds similar to what mcdavid is doing

Not quite. Sometimes with a PCL tear you are better off rehabbing it. McDavid is far too big of an investment for the OEG to take those kind of chances with. He is fine. If this documentary was never made nobody would be talking about this.

Medicine has advanced pretty damn far since when Bure was a player. The two situations are not even remotely comparable.

 

[the_fan]

Marchand's shootout fail

 

[PG Canuck]

Gritty

Surprised a documentary wasn't made on him overcoming the sniffles in the previous two seasons.

Habs comeback run to make the playoffs capped off with a stanley cup victory.

ps: Spoiler alert.

I dunno it was a pretty cool story and he really showed how special pro athletes are.

Aren't they sellers?

 

[bobholly39]

Aren't they sellers?

Yes. It's ok - we're that good. We'll be sellers and cup champs at once. We'll even win the lotto with a 1st round pick we trade for at TDL. Triple threat
