So here's what I think is(hopefully anyway) an interesting question that came out of a discussion of Baseball and it's home run record and what standard should be used for modern players. Basically, I wonder what goal and point totals people think would constitute a modern player putting...

Dougie has a book coming out. Here's a fun factoid from it about his leaving the team: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/book-excerpt-doug-gilmour-explains-rejected-trade-canucks/ Oof. Naslund on Sundin's wing would have been nice.

You all know how this goes. West 1. Edmonton 2. Nashville 3. Anaheim 4. Calgary 5. Chicago 6. Dallas 7. San Jose 8. Minnesota 9. St. Louis 10. Los Angeles 11. Arizona 12. Winnipeg 13. Vancouver 14. Colorado 15. Vegas East 1. Pittsburgh 2. Tampa 3. Washington 4. Florida 5. Toronto 6...

Sounds like an Eichel extension is just about done. Mckenzie saying it's in the 10 per range. So, you know, that seems pretty relevant to Auston.

Hockey has principles now. https://www.nhl.com/info/nhl-declaration-of-principles Interestingly enough "Sometimes, if your team needs a boost, you should agree to a fistfight with a guy on the other team" isn't one of them.

Figured there should be a spot for minor stuff that didn't need its own thread. So, for instance: The Flyers will be retiring Lindros' 88: https://www.nhl.com/flyers/news/flyers-to-retire-no-88-jersey-of-eric-lindros--philadelphia-flyers/c-290779804 I guess it's nice to see him having patched...

I put this up not in the hopes that we in any way replicate the Stamkos thread but just because I'm guessing we're going to hear a lot of speculation about the possibility until Tavares signs an extension. That said...nobody would really think it's a good idea, right? The Stamkos situation...

So this was going around Twitter and thought it'd be a fun off-season thing to kick around: 891439986477850625 So here are mine: 1. Cal Ripken 2. Mats Sundin 3. Lebron James 4. Mario Lemieux 5. Roy Halladay The fifth spot was tough. Wendel/Hasek/Potvin/Pudge/Bolt all considered.

So this is more of a half-formed idea than anything but the mediocre-ness of the HOF class as well as the absence of any real OGWAC to root for in this year's finals I thought I'd look back 20 or so years to look at why there doesn't really seem to be any iconic older players in the NHL right...

The others being Mark Recchi, Paul Kariya and Dave Andreychuk on the NHL side of things. No Almo(who in his prime I'd take over all of the inductees other than Teemu) or CuJo but good on Dave.

So here's an idle thing to kick around on a boring day. Now that he's reached a 4th cup final in a cap era and suffered through some more health stuff, is it time to start thinking of Crosby from a historical perspective? Obviously he could still have a ton of hockey left but can we begin to...

So apologies if this may sound like me repeating myself but it seems to me like there's something that needs saying every year. Call it the cap effect, call it parity, call it whatever but the playoffs have been awful this year, right? I mean, it's just not very good. It's a bunch of mediocre...

So now that the season is over and we've all enjoyed the unexpected playoff run and night-in, night-out competitiveness of this young team there's something I want to say. Something I've been sitting on for a while that I didn't want to be a point of contention while we were all having so much...

For a 3rd and McIlrath, apparently.

Jordie Benn is a Hab for Pateryn and a 4th.

This is a thread I've wanted around for a while and my idea for it is just me making pointless observations about the 10 or 15 minutes of the Saturday late game I'll watch post-Leafs. So to start with, these Kings uniforms are among the worst uniforms I've ever seen.

A place to make predictions about the upcoming season. Last year's champ was our good Carlton, getting 15 of 16 playoff teams right. Here we go: Metropolitan: 1. Washington 2. Pittsburgh 3. NYR 4. Philadelphia-x 5. NYI - x 6. Carolina 7. New Jersey 8. Columbus Atlantic 1. Tampa Bay 2...
