Agreed.
- laughs2907

You aren't supposed to agree with me, now WTF am I gonna say??? Think I'll go say hello to that d-bag Esplen's thread and see how long it takes to get a ban.

Giroux, Stamkos, Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, Couture, Bergeron, Toews, Kane, Perry, Getzlaf, Kesler, Tavares. thats just off the top of my head of players relatively still young or around Halls age. Dont tell me Hall is better than any of those players.
- GOA88

Its possible... we know in junior he was and Yaks was too... Cant believe you threw Kesler's name in there... LOL

There aren't too many forwards I would choose over him if I were starting to build a team. His compete level is top notch.
- Ihatebrianburke

Yaks... Yaks wants it more (if you can believe that- as he did not play with a face cut in half)... and he will be just as good if not better...

I think Sanford got a 4 hour ban in Eklund's blag for saying twat.

EDIT: Guess not.

- Lahey

Too much time on your hands....

I don't believe we ever won a cup in the 70's. 4 in the 80's and 1 in 1990. And I wouldn't be talking about ugly jerseys too much if I were a pred fan.
- Ihatebrianburke

Orange and Blue is such a stylish statement. Seriously ugly. They like to schedule Edmonton on Tuesday nights here because they have such low appeal....really Edmonton has very little relevance in North American culture, and less releavence in US culture so fans are not drawn to see them, especially when they are so bad. And the Oilers didn't have the brains to draft Gretzky, they bought him when the Indy Racers were contracted which did set them up for the 1980s.

No doubt Nash is good, He just doesnt make my list of top 10 forwards in the league

1.Crosby
2.Datsyuk
3.Giroux
4.Toews
5.St.Louis (Ive watched him for years, Stamkos doesnt score anywhere near his pace without him)
6.Stamkos
7.Malkin
8.D.Sedin
9.Tavares10.Ovechkin

Hall is on the same page as Tavares yet 1 year less in the league...

and yet they were the last REAL dynasty in hockey?

Nonsense... Tavares is a God. Hall is decent at best.

WTF? Are you serious? That is a little harsh. Hey did you read about this idiot in Toronto that lost his job for trying to get pot delivered to his job via twitter? What a (frank)ing moron. Then rather than accept responsibility or be accountable for his actions, starts blaming freedom of speech and deflecting that he isn't as bad as others who commit bigger crimes.

I bet if the Oilers had Randy Travis in their lineup, they'd get some attention.

But what will all of this really mean when Eberle finishes the year as our top point getter???

Fixed. I hate Kane....Could be Giroux over Ovi.....
- Iggysbff

I love kane. My favorite player in the league.

My ultimate team would be:
Evander kane - crosby - patty kane
Hall - giroux - nash
Eriksson - toews - bergeron
Lucic - backes - brown

Weber - karlsson
Mcdonagh - suter
Letang - kronwall

Hank
Quickie

I kept in mind shutdown pairs and checking lines for the forwards.

Some ref said it, but it may have been a joke, cause he's still posting.

He sounds like an idiot, but I think they should just legalize it already.

Not yet imo. Very very close but I still pick jt over hall, for now.

Proof that anyone can get a blog. Love the fact that an Edmonton fan can critique anyone. Edmonton is the worst draw here because Edmonton the city is so irrelevant and Edmonton the team has been bad now for a decade. How in the world can a team not figure out a rebuild with the first pick every year. Most people know in the Southern US that Edmonton is cold, is ugly and that no one in their right mind wants to live or stay there. Gretzky wanted out, Pronger wanted out. Even people that have to work there fly out of there the first chance they get. The Oiler nickname is silly and the jersey is ugly and would be mocked more if Gretzky hadn't fallen in your lap in the late 1970s, the last time your team was worth watching.
- VopatsRash

Is this the same Southern US that is home and birth place to the KKK, and fought to keep slavery in place, while the North had to set them straight??? Yup, not sure you should be using this as an example to slam a city you know jack about, just because no one comes to see a team in a city that doesn't really give two poops about hockey in the first place.

I totally agree. That way, more jobs for me and other educated people who go to school, while people like this are just content with getting high and working at Mr. Lube.

Those of you who rank strictly offensive players I.E. Malkin, Kane, Ovechkin above complete players like datsyuk, toews, Giroux clearly need to educate themselves on the game of hockey. Peace y'all. I'm out. You guys can argue that now. Haha

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO please stay and tell us more with your infinite wisdom about the game of hockey.

Does giroux really belong on a list with datsyuk, toews, and bergeron when talking best 2 way forwards in the league?

Tut tut tut generalizing people like that. I know lots of educated people with sh1tty jobs, and pot-heads who are CEOs

Is there any documented evidence that anyone born outside of Edmonton has ever moved and stayed there? Prison terms don't count.

Yeah great point. Only about a million people living there because no one has moved there. They just did it the old fashioned deep south way and kept it in the family to grow the city. Speaking of the culturally relevant south, honey boo boo is from the south isn't she? Way to set the bar high.....dumbass.
