Toews is 41th in points in the central division. All star though lol.

 

[Cake Boss]

Kucherov and Marchand

Certainly compare to Tavares, Hall, Ovechkin, Malkin surrounding Crosby

Then don't say Mathews is the only 'great' hockey player there ya ding.

Yeah compared to the other lineups it's not good but there are great players on it.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

The Leafs claim Curtis McElhinney

 

[Socreges]

Horvaaaaaaaat

Spoiler

Might not have made it (were no Canuck required) given the focus on points for ASG, but I think he deserves to be there

Dopey moving goal posts errday

I'd rather have Marner than Marchand. Marner is scoring at a higher rate than Marchand is even now.

But ehhh won't complain too much because that would max out his bonus. Matthews just earned himself $2 million by being named iirc

 

[imBask]

Apparently Therrien will coach at the ASG

 

[DopeyFish]

Toews also unsure why he was selected lmao

Yeah and Kopitar just got his 4th goal the other day, Paul Byron > Kopitar.

 

[DopeyFish]

I think there's a big difference between Byron and Marner

Maybe not in red's mind, but there is

 

[lamaroo]

Can't wait to watch dump and chase at the All Star Game.

Finally you're getting it.

 

[Yawnier]

HABS REGULAR PAUL BYRON should be in the all star game

 

[imBask]

is there tho?

 

[Chris R]

Only 4 hawks? NHL slippin

 

[DopeyFish]

is there tho?

somehow you guys found someone that marner towers over

 

[Quick]

Only 4 hawks? NHL slippin

I feel like that amount of Blackhawks players fulfills a league-mandated outdoor game.

 

[Marvie_3]

FUUUUCCCCCKIINNNG GIVE ME THESEE!!!!

ILL BUY 20

Those are sweet.

Why is toews even there anyways

To piss you off?

People getting salty over a pointless all star game is hilarious.

I'm not salty

just looking at the facts, noticing a discrepancy.

Chris Kuc‏ @ChrisKuc
All-Star Jonathan Toews: "I have to completely admit that there is a handful of guys on this team that are definitely more deserving."

lol Toews so salty

 

[DopeyFish]

kind of amazing that this is Rask's first all star game... Crosby's second... [if he makes it]

Zetterberg hasn't been to one, yet.

 

[Socreges]

I wonder if Zetterberg declines each time. Strange otherwise that Nielsen got in ahead of him

 

[DopeyFish]

zetterberg got named to it once but was injured and couldn't go

 

[Wingfan19]

He does. No reason why Nielsen would be ahead of him otherwise. I'm shocked they didn't pick Mantha.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

So I guess Josi will sub for Subban unless, by some miracle, Subban's playing then.

Preds really don't deserve to send anyone lol

Lots of cameras at the ASG, so you can be assured Subban will have a miraculous recovery to make it

You sound salty

 

[MetatronM]

I hope Crosby is replaced by Grabner when he decides not to show up.

Anyway, McDonagh didn't really deserve to be the Rangers' representative at the All-Star Game last year, he just got in by default. This year he absolutely earned it and deserves to be there, probably as the 1D for the Metro team.



Also, how heinous is the goaltending in the Pacific Division that Mike Smith got in? Alternatively, how terrible are the rest of the Yotes that that was the best available option?

Not...at all? Smith has been fine. He made the most sense since, as you said, the rest of the team has been bad.

 

[Red_Man]

Too bad AGally got injured, would have been cool to see him at the ASG.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Russo is speculating that Toews was named to the ASG because he will also be named to the NHL top 100 players and the NHL wants him there for that.

I could see it tbh

 

[calder]

The last page has been great stuff, keep it up jerks.

Detective Steven McDonald, he of the Rangers' Extra Effort Award, has passed away.

Wait, in the top 100 all-time? That seems slightly ridiculous. Nothing against Toews but is he really a top 100 NHL player ever?

Captain for 3 Cups goes a long way. Plus a Conn Smythe and Selke winner. Nearly PPG in both regular season and playoffs.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I remember a Steve Simmons article on his top 100 NHL players. He put Orr over Gretzky.

 

[Vyse24]

Detective Steven McDonald, he of the Rangers' Extra Effort Award, has passed away.

Only 59 too. Very tragic. Hopefully by the time they're back on the ice, the Rangers will have something to commemorate him for the rest of the season.

I'm amazed this hasn't gotten more use in here yet. Must be a low sodium time of year.

I guess my lack of knowledge regarding the NHL pre-2006 really shows at a time like this :<

Toews' rookie season was 2007. &#129300;

Thats because the NHL didnt exist before 2006.

TIL 35 year old Radim Vrbata leads the Yotes in points so far this season

They should have went all in with the tank last year to get their hometown kid.

 

[Future Foundation]

Just saw that. It's cool seeing tweets from former Rangers talking about him and the Extra Effort Award.

 

[Red_Man]

Alex Ovechkin has the most goals in the NHL since the beginning of the 2001-02 season. He made his NHL debut on Oct. 5, 2005.

.

 

[PillarEN]

.

I wonder if he's also the player with most first round exits since 2001.

 

[Razorskin]

.

Probably the most SOG since then too. #volumeshooter

Zetterberg has 6.
