Congratulation to being the 21-40th best center on earth

― YouTube_-_funy_cats.flv (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Thursday, 9 August 2018 04:45 (eight years ago)

It gets mentioned but the decline of their whole team plays an immense role. Yeah, I hate them but they've lost their top defensemen and some good supporting forwards too. Yzerman was somewhat pedestrian during the late 80s/early 90s when the Wings had two good lines and not much else, too. Great players make those around them better, as the cliche goes, but expecting them to do it all on their own is dumb.

― I want to change my display name (dan m), Thursday, 9 August 2018 17:32 (eight years ago)

mcdavid and tavares can put up 90 points for any team in the league, including the blackhawks; that's why they make $10m. toews cannot. that doesn't make him a bad guy or a bad player or responsible for the team's decline, but it does make him . . . complementary. he's a good defender, but mikko koivu doesn't make $10m either. it's not his fault he's overpaid -- he won three cups! but at the risk of getting all flacco, toews is just an above-average two-way center, not the new messier he was being heralded as a couple years ago.

also lol we made you defend a blackhawk

will he put a puck over the glass in these two games y/n

Disappointing. Assuming the Leafs don't stage a miraculous comeback--befitting my bandwagon fandom, I'm ducking out for a movie--I really can't see them winning a Game 7 in Boston. Today was it.

Tomas Hertl’s game-winner for the @SanJoseSharks tonight was the first shorthanded OT goal beyond the first OT period in NHL history. It was just the second shorthanded OT goal for a team facing elimination (Fernando Pisani, EDM vs. CAR, Game 5 of 2006 Stanley Cup Final).
