Then the NHL shouldn't have this many problems selling the game, but yet they do and after a few decades of Gary insisting on the sun belt being the future. Maybe if some of those coyote dollars were spent helping to make the game cool in LA again there would be some cultural traction.

Being 5th in a 4 league competition is dreadful

Every post of mine on this subject so far has been a troll. I’m surprised you’re not catching on. But reading all the other posts on this page, I don’t blame you because I think they’re trolling too.

From a growth perspective, opinions read on Forum Ice are coming from a demographic that has already bought in. The things that we get pissy about are either trending away from "traditional hockey", or simply do not cater to us. I'm not going to stop watching hockey because they have female hosts - but a crop of new fans just might start.

What's this we crap? Pretty sure it's just uncus.
 
lol, I am the biggest supporter of women (my daughter's can testify to that). I have zero problems with a female crew ... I think I am the one who often mentions more female hires. But crap is crap and the women they have on the show now are horrible, absolutely horrible, Like the men ... how did mclean ever stay on this long or even at all?

My problem is with the current characters in place .... all of them. They are horrible. And no, the PK Subban's of the world won't help .... Hockey needs a blended Roenick/Cherry/Charles Barkley into one, as well as Chris Rock or some other comedians to help run the show.
Shoot every one of the current crew out of a cannon and bring in new talent. Hire a comedian to do the intermission .... LOF and I have an idea or three on how to make the intermission more enjoyable and entertaining. Attacking predators, the kids screaming and fearing for their lives, and then a player/mascot jumps on the ice and defeats the evil and vanquishes him or her (never know, I said evil so we could implement Christine Freeland as a predator). More interactive lol.
BTW Habsy .... throwing me under the bus ...lol I curse the Canadiens and their rebuild ... may it last for the rest of this decade and all of the next. PPFFTT it is done! IT IS DONE!

cutting it off at "stars" doesn't do the importance of drafting justice.

Using career PPG to seperate them is pretty dumb too imo. There's a lot of guys who were good producers for relatively short periods of their prime that if isolated and compared to the primes of that list, wouldn't look out of place.

Here's what the honourable mention list could look like:

- Patrick Sharp
- Plekanec (20+G 6x, 60+pts 3x)
- Pominville (700+ career points, 3 30+ goal seasons, 6 60+ point seasons)
- Ryan Clowe (60 point power forward before conkies)
- Loui Eriksson (70+ point player before injuries)
- Matt Moulson (4 year run as one of the top goal scorers in hockey)
- Milan Lucic
- Hornqvist
- James Neal
- Franzen
- Tatar
- Atkinson
- Dadanov
- Simmonds
- William Karlsson
- Saad
- Gallagher
- Rust
- Toffoli
- Hoffman
- Palat
- Trochek
- Tyler Bertuzzi
- Arvidsson
- Garland
- Bunting
- Mangiapane
- Troy Terry
- Kaprizov
- Kyrou
- Bratt
 
But still, happy for Calgary that they don't get completely screwed by the americans leaving, but also happy that they still get kinda screwed by overpaying two guys who aren't as good. and older.

while not being available to upgrade more hated teams.
 
Kind of a tidy bit of work by Calgary to end up with Huberdeau & Kadri after getting fucked by Gaudreau & Tkachuk.

Those two guys are on the older side and things will likely look grim for them in a few years, but in the immediate future at least there won’t be much drop off in the quality of their team.
