Your idols are old. Many of them are in poor health due to substance abuse. Someone important to you is going to die every year from now on.

Zach Werenski is Rookie of the Month for November. It's at least the third time a Jacket has gotten the award- Derick Brassard and Steve Mason (twice) got it in 2008-09. (Nash apparently got it once in 2002 as well).

crosby's rookie year penguins were legitimately bad and the oilers are historic underachievers. and listing gretzky's first 70 nhl games is more disingenuous than panarin's calder. i think the only thing you can take away here is that crosby is good

I don't think that's the top 3, just the 3 they chose to compare.

Laine is bizarre. His possession stats are pretty terrible, but he's still scoring a gently caress ton of goals.

e: McDavid on the other hand is outrageously good in every way you can quantify a player

That's not out of the ordinary for Ovechkin from time to time either.

So change to a bright green puck. That's what tennis did.



Then a few years later they changed to a ball, and the rest is history.

Man, Crosby is on another level this year in terms of goal scoring. I was gonna continue to brag about Pasta, and him having 15 goals in 21 games, but Sid is at 17 in 20.

24%. Pastrnak is only at 21, so obviously he's going to win when Crosby crashes that 3%.

I did the math don't worry, no need to verify.

Edit: Granlund looks like he may have accidentally hit him with his skates, but you can see he's actually trying to stand over him and keep the scrum back.

My favorite thing about the Beleskey story is watching him talk glowingly about hockey hopefully growing in Asia and the league is about to absolutely gently caress it up with PyeongChang and Beijing.

It was awesome when they did all those interviews during the World Cup asking players how it feels to play for their country, and nearly all of them would talk about how great the Olympics felt.

Also PDO teaches us that Rask is too good, and is suppressing the ability of the team to score goals.

Most hockey players are not American. Even with bad dumb Canadians like Hartnell I don't think it approaches most.

I don't think just having money can turn a man Republican, there's a certain disdain for human life that needs to be developed too.

If you pay your 4th liners the most, and work up from there, your best players are your cheapest players.

Sometimes I like to think about people like Benning and Holland being in charge of organizations where results actually mattered in some way.

"Well Alan may not be the best paramedic, in fact some would say he's dangerously unfit for his position, but you gotta admire that dedication. Sure he kills the occasional patient or two because he doesn't know the difference between saline and morphine, but dammit he puts in the hours!"

A healthy Lundqvist is sitting back-to-back games. I hope this is the year he starts his downward trend, though I also think he is typically a slow starter? (correct me if I'm wrong RAS)

The Habs wings aren't just at games. Anyone who signs up gets a coupon emailed when they score 5.

I've never actually had wings at La Cage though so I don't know if it's worth it.
