I'm surprised the motaba virus didn't emanate from the bathrooms of that place and require Donald Sutherland and team to nuke the place in the early 90's.

Bill talked about that a few days ago. That stat is misleading. Coburn leads the team in ATOI and has been given a great offensive role, which leads to more turnovers. Coburn hasn't been all that great though, but I think his TO number is too damning.

timmonen and schenn are averaging only a couple minutes a game less and have a serious differential of turnovers from coburn tho.

Timonen is an offensive minded dman which leads to less turnovers because that's his job and Schenn doesn't handle the puck as much. Cobrun is in a role he's not completely suited for.

Cant tell my mom not to stay at our house because of that espescially when her relatives (most of whom never had the flu shot) are over every other day.... I had issues with her when my sister came to visit also before the baby...To me its disrespectful because her parents live two blocks away and her dads cock is in my ass all day and everyday and i keep my mouth shut...Have to draw the line somewhere.

To clarify, I'm not asking who the best forward is in the NHL. I'm asking who the best all around forward is.
- MJL

no no i understand. i would never say crosby is say top 5 defensively or anything near that. but, he is at the very least still slightly above average. maybe it is my understanding of the question though, as i think that if you take everything into account, that is similar to the best all around player. the amount he is better offensively than say a defensive stalwart such as kesler is large enough to make him the better overall player in my mind

Crosby is very good on face offs as well as offense, plays PK, he could easily be #1 all around

I just love Datsyuk even if he is slightly past his prime

- Marc D


I love Datsyuk but he's not physical at all and his offensive numbers have declined due to his age (although he's producing well so far this year).

Well I mean if his defensive play causes 1 goal to be scored and he creates 3 goals then, yes, it can.
- NickTheKid87



In terms of all around play. Scoring goals can't make a player good defensively.

I thought Timmonen is more of the balanced type which Coburn is supposed to be but a little more defensive. Either way I expected more from Coburn.

And he's not the defensive player he was back in his prime either.

I wonder if his nose is effecting his depth perception.

Ok I thought that's what you were asking. I would say Datsyuk from this criteria but I think Crosby is the best player in the world.

not even close...I see Heat banners on the cars everywhere, nobody cares about the Dolphins, Marlins or Panthers....I bet most people in Miami dont know who the Panthers are?

He is going to have more turnovers because he'll actually attempt to carry the puck. That's a bit of a factor.
