  1. Very true, but didn't really play in any leagues while Gretz was in his prime
  2. Really? How did that work?
  3. That's all Randy gets? Where's his insult?
  4. Ya agreed. That gives you an idea of what his share of the workload will be going forward
  5. Ya, that's a good way to look at it and it does show you how bad Binnington has been. Using our format's overall rating can be misleading. It was counter intuitive to see that Binnington had a higher rating than Jarry and Vanecek right off the bat and this clearly demonstrates what most people would assume is actually correct - When Binnington plays like shit, he goes all out. Good call.
  6. Hopefully we'll have one out for the weekend
  7. There's only so many times I can go in circles without getting nauseous
  8. Sure, rings matter. No denying it. I just don't believe that the Av's won the cup because Mckinnon willed it. That's a huge stretch. The amount of talent on that Av's team was sick stupid. Kadri playing out of his mind, Cale Makar setting new standards for d-men, Rantanen who can put the team on his own back, a captain that goes through brick walls in Landescog, the 17th best goalie in history by save percentage, Arturri Lehkonen playing like a conn smythe winner, the revelation that was Nichushkin and the list goes on. Did Mack's leadership help bring the cup home? Of course it did. But the majority of the credit for that should go to Joe Sakic and the management team, and the failings or shortcomings of Peter Chiarelli and Ken Holland should not be hung on the shoulders of McDavid. Do you think if you air dropped McDavid into Mackinnons jersey last year, the Av's would've been worse off?
  9. I would like your top 3 sir....
  10. In my mind, when discussing the best players in a team sport, the hardware and championships are extras. The best players are the ones that can do things at a level that others simply cannot. To say McDavid isn't in the top 3 players in the league is blasphemous to the point of absurdity. That guy is a human highlight reel. No other player in the league today can consistently undress the opposition on the regular and score or dish the way he does it. The NHL hasn't seen that type of player since Jagr, and before that Lemieux. As for the argument that you need championships to be seen as the best, I would agree if we were talking about tennis or golf. Not in a team sport. There are too many other factors that go into winning a cup, including the 22 other player's on the team and their individual capabilities. By that logic, had Ray Bourque not hung on long enough to win a cup he couldn't be in the conversation as one of the greatest dmen of all time. And Marcel Dionne shouldn't be considered among the best of his time. If the argument is that McDavid is not one of the top three players today, but he could be in June doesn't make sense to me. My two cents.
  11. Bro, anyone who wants to listen, knows where we be. No point in spamming people to death.
  12. Episode 28 part 1 Randy joins the gang and we go off the rails almost completely, but we get back on track in part 2 https://fantasyfirsthockeypodcast.buzzsprout.com
  13. My tiny brain doesn't even get the joke
  14. Thanks to everyone for chipping in with your questions! Episode 27 A good talk with James https://fantasyfirsthockeypodcast.buzzsprout.com
  15. That really depends how many Gin Samshes have been consumed by that point
  16. You know the media has to make something outta nothing I'm with you man. I boldly predicted 75 from him this year so I'm rooting for him!
  17. Hey guys, this coming Friday I'll be sitting down with James for an episode of the Fantasy First Hockey Podcast. It would be great to get some questions or comments from the community that we can address on the show. You can message me here on Capwise or send an email to fantasyfirsthockeypodcast@gmail.com. Hope to hear from you!
