NHL Discussion (Other than Jets)

[sweep the leg]

The fans first comment I can see on here is humorous to me and responding to a high profile athlete threatening him with a lawsuit over something stupid written on the internet. Or are you talking about what spawned this conversation. I haven't seen that comment/message

Lupul should know better to get into pissing matches with people over social media. He sounds like a 12 year old kid.

It must be what started the conversation. The comment I'm referring to was this guy talking about how Lupul and Avery "wrecked" Phaneuf's wife.

Hadn't seen that, just the responses from that image. Immature comments from an immature person no doubt. Still don't like Lupul's response to it either.

Yes.

hmmmm NO not lately

I've heard a lot of people say this. I don't think there is anything wrong with this line of view but in terms of players going down in history I don't see Toews ahead of Crosby. Crosby will go into history books as a generational talent along the lines of Gretzky and Lemieux. He saved an NHL franchise, he won a cup, his trophy room is packed, he's posted insane numbers (1.37P per game) over the span of his career while dealing with concussion issues among other injuries. He scored the OT goal to capture Olympic Gold on home ice, nobody who watched that game is going to forget that goal.

Toews is incredible, he's accomplished a few of the things above, he's accomplished some things Crosby hasn't, but I don't see history remembering him in the realm of players like Gretzky and Lemieux.

he'll go down that way becuase the hockey world shoves him down our throats every chance they get

This Cuthbert thing is awesome.

Screw TO "come play in Wpg we have a budding program of success!"

Maybe we can scoop Lupul

Ugh... No. Just no.

The Maple Leafs' season is just a nightmare.

Because he is the best player in the game, that's generally how most sports work.

Do you think Crosby will win it this year?

[Colton]

Do you think Crosby will win it this year?

I wouldn't think so, was just an easy response to a stupid statement.

More for AG, I just typed 'Best player in NHL' into Google. I'm just going to straight up copy and paste the lists that come up from that query without even checking if they say Crosby because I'm extremely confident that they will. If they don't list him someone can let me know but I don't expect that to happen.
