Schremp Howard posted:Pittsburgh has like one practice rink they could use and maybe six hotels around it. No way they can support it. And CBJSprague will rightly tell you that Ohio State would do everything it possibly could to prevent them from coming to Columbus. Truth be told, I'd actually forgotten about OSU in this situation. They'd certainly never let them use their ice even if the NHL backed a Brinks truck up to their door, but there might be enough NHL practice-worthy rinks in the area between the two which belong to the Blue Jackets and the Chillers in the area to where OSU couldn't stop them.

N: Giving this its own post because I didn't see cocaine bear's post, host cities' local teams may have to play somewhere else to eliminate home ice advantage, meaning a Western team could be based in an Eastern city and vice versa. V: CALVINBALL! https://twitter.com/Aportzline/status/1266030739902128130 Also, tying in to discussion last night, Ohio State has apparently agreed to aid in hosting events if Columbus is selected, which would mean games could be played at Nationwide and Value City Arena simultaneously.

clean ayers act posted:It kind of has to suck to be Toews to go from "one of the top 100 ever!" to "good but overrated" in 3 years. OTOH, 3 cups For me, I have never really changed my opinion of Toews. I have always thought he was a good to great player, someone I would have loved to have on the Leafs, but I have always thought him being thought of as a top-5 player was overrating him. On the other hand, when a guy like Malkin is ranked below him, even in January 2017 before Malkin won his 3rd Cup, it feels a little ridiculous.

That could work out well to nullify the Blue Jackets' home field advantage by making them play in an arena that's hostile to them.

It's weird and kinda cool to think Ovi has won the Richard in 9 of his 15 active seasons. Jesus christ, man. Leave some goals for the rest of the league. e: Just checked and in terms of league leading goal scorers by seasons, Ovi's 9 is top all time. The next closest in Bobby Hull with 7 and and Phil Esposito with 6. Good Soldier Svejk fucked around with this message at 17:37 on May 28, 2020 |

Man that stinks for Ovie. Even counting conservatively work stoppages and now the pandemic have probably kept 60 goals off his career total. 04/05: 35 goal rookie year? 12/13: on pace for 55. Say he hits 50g that's 18 more. 19/20: on pace for 58 say he hits 55g that's 7 more. He'd be at 766 today so only 127 behind Gretzky. That's only 4.25 30 goals season to pass him. Much more doable than the 6.33 30 goal seasons it'll take him currently. ThinkTank fucked around with this message at 17:34 on May 28, 2020 |

I think people will start to come around on Malkin, but the Toews hype took off with the Hawks' second cup, which is also the year Malkin started missing 20 games a year due to injury, for six years, before playing a full-ish 78 games in 17-18 and returning to highest regards. Having 15, 50, and 9 goals in consecutive seasons is an interesting statline.

Wayne Gretzky was underage for the NHL when he played in the WHA (it's the only reason he played there other than not wanting to be drafted by Colorado). I think it's fair to exclude those goal totals because Ovie didn't have the same opportunity.

Having 15, 50, and 9 goals in consecutive seasons is an interesting statline. I never actually watched Forsberg in his prime but it seems like he's a pretty fair comparable. Malkin is slightly less consistently broken but he's got the ability to be one of the all-time greats it's just his broken body holding him back.
