I think he has a shot at it.

Unless he wins the Cup and Conn Smythe, he has zero shot.

Zero first team All-NHL, one second team All-NHL, one third team All-NHL.

Never finished in the top 5 of any major trophy. Best result was finish 7th in Hart voting once and 7th & 8th in Selke voting. No other top-10 finishes.

He'd be a first ballot Hockey Hall of Very Good, with the Pierre Turgeon types.

You’re probably right, recency bias on my part.
 
I don't know of there are more overtime games than average so far this playoffs but it seems like there's a lot of teams who don't know how to lock it down and close out an opponent.

And the king of the rats wins it in OT.

Not a great goal to give up.

Not going to blame the goalie on that one, on scrambles when they don’t see the puck, they cover the bottom of the net. It was a well placed no look shot.

I like Gourde though, not sure where the king of rats comes from.

He's a good player, but god he was an insufferable prick when he played for Tampa Bay. He's not the king of the rats in the NHL, that belongs to Marchand until he retires, but more the king of those annoying fuckers in Seattle.

He’s a gamer, you could see immediately that he was a notch above all the other guys in Seattle in term of compete. Even during the warmups he does it with purpose. Annoying to play against, awesome to have on your team. I was hoping Montréal would find a way to get him.

Gonna go off topic here, hope it's okay.

Every time I see your avatar of Lemmy I can't help thinking what a cool cat he was. I never much cared for Motorhead though, just not my kind of music really, but..... I recently came across a track called Whore House Blues.

Excellent tune and video, now I have to go looking for more stuff from Motorhead in case I missed more of that kind of stuff.

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming. Sorry for the derail, carry on.
 
I met Lemmy at a record store signing (store was called Rock En Stock) when I was a kid and the boils on his face still haunt me.

RIP

It was piss poor, especially compared to what Las Vegas did.

What Seattle's doing right now doesn't suddenly negate that fact.

Seattle had no chance to match Vegas at the expansion draft , Vegas had complete fools hand them their core
