2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

He plays his roll. He's an enforcer. I doubt he's like that off the ice.

I'd like to take this moment to repeat that the end of the Holtby era can't come soon enough for me

Yeah...I kind of chalk up last night to the entire team being on christmas break a little early. Also when compared to how Holtby usually handles Boston a game like last night was bound to happen eventually.

Also, there's literally no way Wilson hasn't beaten a GF for buying the wrong cereal. He has like scary anger management issues.

Yeah he's pretty much a sweetheart off the ice. Not like Boston has a squad of little angels out there, either.

NBC sports strike again lol.

espn had one of these (although it was top 100), and they specifically said they gave extra weight to goals/wins above replacement. They had McDavid ranked 2nd above Ovechkin (which I think is nuts if you give extra weight to goals, even if McDavid's WAR is probably insane), and I think they had Kane 9th.

Kane should definitely be in the top 10 for sure. The only guys I could for sure rank above him for the past decade are Crosby, Ovechkin, maybe Malkin too? McDavid comes down to how much credit you want to give the past few years compared against the full 10 year period. But I could see arguments for Kane above everyone else on this list.

Maybe Lundqvist makes it as best goalie? Duncan Keith being left off for Karlsson and Chara seems a little crazy, and you could make an argument for Toews over Kopitar, too. Stamkos is probably on there for having the 2nd most goals in the decade, although the gap between Ovechkin and Stamkos is the same as the gap between Stamkos and like #15 in goals for the decade, fwiw.

Yeah looking at The top 100 NHL players of the decade , their top 10 is virtually identical except Keith is #10 (Chara was 24th), and Kane at #9 (Kopitar 13th)

Leafs/Canes game looks freaking crazy according to my social media feed. Wish I wasn't at work.

Late to this but a brutal loss from the Canes perspective. Down 0-3, then score 5 unanswered after pulling Reimer, score eventually gets to 6-4 then the Leafs score 3 times in under a minute halfway through the 3rd. Add a empty net and there's your 8-6.

Yeah saw that. Crazy roller coaster of a game. Rangers play both teams back to back starting tonight so suffice it to say I'm nervous.

Just need to figure out some defense and this could work.

Toronto kicking ass right now. Can it last?

I don't really blame him.

The Blues have had a lot of injury trouble this season and have managed to persevere. Tarasenko should be back by the playoffs but they have played well without him. They have really good depth, which has been the overall key to success.

All it took for the Caps to finally beat Columbus was playing Samsonov instead of Holtby

Not getting shut out helped slightly, too. Frankly we still got shutdown quite a bit by Korpisalo.

THERE'S NO CANADA LIKE FRENCH CANADA IT'S THE BEST CANADA IN THE LAND

The Blues won the cup the year we didn't go to any games. Looks like I'll never get to go again.

He's completely right about this. I don't understand how they fuck that up.
