The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

[Wayward DP]

dom posted this today to support the McD for MVP argument, but what I take from it is we squandered maybe the best individual performance of the past 15 years last year

How is McDavid for Hart even a debate? Connor don't need no Dom support I think!

 

[thehabhater]

There is a goaltender in Boston that should also be up for consideration.

 

[Preston]

A literal 155 point pace in 2023 and people are debating this?

Not seriously I wouldn’t think

 

[CH1]

His plus/minus is shit

 

[axlsalinger]

some people on this board will tell you he's really just a super elite 3rd liner, if you take away his power play, teammates, and hockey stick

He is but 155 points makes this stuff impossible to argue against in any way whatsoever. I don't really care all that much that he isn't a Selke candidate when he's doing this.

Don’t get too down about last year. After all, it’s only one of several years where we’ve squandered the primes of four of the most talented players ever to wear Leaf jerseys.

Gotta keep things in perspective!

39 starts though, that's just not enough imo.

Need to be 60+ to get Hart consideration historically.

Ullmark and hot Karl have been very impressive but McDavid is the obvious choice.

Ever to wear any jerseys! This was a historic feat to grab these three guys, plus nab Tavares, as well as Rielly (he was better), and a whole collection of guys like Lilly, Sandin, Robertson, etc. How many times have other teams been able to grab that good a group, at that age? Exceedingly rare.

And not even one fucking round to our names.

the only challenge could have come if the Sharks were good, but they're not so Hot Karl has no chance.

Never forget that we've fucked it up by throwing our assets at going #gudpro whenever it was time to add to the group.

11-7 is funky but Tampa played around with that configuration during their first Cup run.
