My question to you is.... was he ever great? He is a gritty, make room for your linemates, get an occasional dirty goal player. What he has been and what is expected of him is a 40-50 pt player that gets under the other teams skin and provides screens. Thats what he is doing and is on pace for. Dont expect him to get 37 goals anymore. He is more or less a product of his linemates success. He will not do these things on his own. Much like Kunitz in Pitt. Without Crosby Kunitz doesnt even flirt with his current numbers.

over a full season, crosby would make kunitz mid 30s in goals and maybe 65 to 70 points.

but without crosby, kunitz is a solid nhl player in his own right. no, maybe not a point per game guy, but he would be a regular 20 to 25 goal scorer who plays a gritty two way game. solid guy for sure.

figured id redirect some of the angst in here

In a keeper, who would you rather keep....Fowler or Landeskog?

Same here -- Sweet Mother of God. What was it, politics yesterday or the day before, race today...UGH.

Flyers need to make a trade or play Rosehill on the top line or Giroux not score for 5 or 6 games...anything to make people talk about hockey instead of that other crap

The Pens are beating the Rags senseless, which due to the standings, is the lesser of two evils. The Blackhawks need to turn up the heat and put the Devils down for the count

Your boys are doing us a straight-solid tonight by not letting this be a three-point game. For that, the Flyers will allow any potential playoff series with you to go to 6 games before they close you out.

Blackhawks getting the job done too -- proving, as always, it's sure as hell better to be in a playoff spot rather than trying to catch somebody else. Rags and Devs had to take on two of the top 5 teams in the league just to attempt to get into a tie for eighth and are getting nothing and liking it

After 2

Val-d'Or - 1
Rimouski - 1

No points for Morin.

Hey, OB, if you're around, have you been able to watch Laughton at all in the World Juniors? Or Leier, if he's been playing?

Work's been crushing me and the games haven't aligned at all with my sked, but it'd be nice to know how those guys look against the kind of talent they're facing.

crosby is making a hell of a strong case for the hart.

honestly, id rather the two teams not match up in the playoffs if at all possible

Thanks; just thought I'd ask.

In a keeper, where all players would be kept....

Ryan Johansen and PK Subban

or

Landeskog and Fowler

(centers get a lot of points in this league; faceoff wins are a category)

Final

Val-d'Or - 3
Rimouski - 5

Morin with an assist

Hard but id say go with Ryan Johansen and PK. PK can really put up points. I believe more than Fowler will be able too. Not a bash on Fowler btw. And for the forwards I would say that Landeskog is better than Johansen but not by enough to warrant a trade. Ryan Johansen is playing really well and seems like he is progressing nicely. Try a Landeskog for Johansen deal.
