Stick tap for the effort, the avatar fools me every time.
So do you guys think Toews would be the 1st overall pick if the nhl had a draft tomorrow?
I say yes but I don't think he deserves it. I'd still take Crosby or Seguin because of the offence.
But I don't believe in the clutch thing. I think that's almost all luck. Believing in that nonsense leads you to sign hacks like Bickell to 4 million or whatever. He's aa great player on a great team and he gets many opportunities in big moments. You guys telling me the Penguins could make the cup final with Crosby scoring 1 goal in the first 99% of the playoff games like Toews in 2013? Hell nah.

You're nuts if you take Seguin over Toews. Nuts. Crosby you could make a case for, but Seguin is a joke. Toews is so good at every aspect of the game.
I actually agree, I think Toews's offense is underrated (much like Bergeron's). If he were put in more offensive situations he would probably score more than he does.
The "clutch" thing is of course overblown, but there's a reason it happens -- because he's put in offensive situations when he's needed and he delivers.

Garth Brooks was forced to cancel all three of his concerts in Tampa this week because the Lightning got home ice advantage lol

Toewes is way better than Seguin. I forgot which team Seguin plays for.
Crosby absolutely, Seguin? your team is the new Edmonton Oilers, or if in this fantasy draft situation you are drafting for the Edmonton Oilers, you probably just got a contract extension.

If the Hawks win and Duncan Keith continues the way he is playing is he Conn Smythe winner?

Totally. Duncan Keith was stellar.
The idea that raw offensive skill is more valuable than a complete 200 foot game is flawed. You can put Toews in any situation, and he'll excel. You can't say that with Seguin. It's not even a competition tbh.
Without a doubt.

Easily Tyler Johnson, unless Stamkos gets like 3 hat tricks in the Final.

They'll give it to Kane because in the first game he will score 3 goals all while doing backflips.

I get the feeling that the Lightning could become like the Hawks if things work out for them. Stamkos is a better scorer than Toews but needs to step up more often. Johnson can be compared to Kane with his game-breaking ability. Hedman isn't Keith but he has upside. Bishop and Crawford can both bounce back after tough outings.

They're a lot more evenly matched than I think a lot of people want to admit. Should be a good series.
Also I'll have the Stanley Cup OT up later today.

What I find funny are the folks who talk shit about Ben Bishop saying he's a shitty goalie. It's probably better to acknowledge he's at least good. Who wants to admit their team got beat by a shitty goalie.
He can let in some stinkers but he's pretty capable

Hec could sit out the finals and he'd still deserve it.

It's only rangers fans who harp on it. Yes, he's not a great goalie but they seem to fail to mention how there's nothing but crappy players except their goalie on their team.
Bishop's not a shitty goalie by any means at all (he has literally always owned us), but he did not play well in the ECF at all. I've seen him play very well plenty of times, and this wasn't it. He was "good enough" in a couple of the games, though, and he was almost completely untested in his two shutouts, which should be deservedly credited to the team in front of him.
To be fair, Hank wasn't especially stellar in that series either, at least not by his standards. If he doesn't let in Kucherov's nothing OT winner in Game 3, for example, we'd be getting ready for the Blackhawks right now. He did stand on his head a few times when we needed it, but he wasn't his usual consistent self.
But, you know, hockey and stuff.

Some Kings fans were teasing about the Ducks lost and how the Kings have one more Cup. They don't care that they didn't make the playoffs. LOL.

41 > 38
Kings fans only care about ruining other people's experience. The only reason they care about winning the Cup is because it meant they could rub it into Ducks fans faces for a while.

An average goalie doesn't post two shutouts on the road in two of the most important games of the series.
I would say Bishop is inconsistent. The series was sloppy at times but both teams deserved to be there and either could be in the Finals right now.
