I bet you think Kessel is elite.


Steen still ahead of him. Oshie 1 point back and a superior all round player. Backes is a freak. Their D has multiple studs.


Unless you think elite is maybe 5 players in the whole league.

Elite is probably the top 40 or so if you want to include goalies.

At least 5 of those spots get taken by goalies. Maybe 10-12 by defensemen. Round it out with 20+ forwards and that's pretty much it.

Well according to some leaf fans, phaneuf is elite, so if that's the case, the answer to your question is.....a hell of alot

Everyone is elite!!! No one is to be left out!!

It's pulling out of the shop... that's for sure...

Is the shop in the middle of the highway on a winding road around a mountain top.

Except that they weren't winning before him and the individuals brought in didn't look nearly as good elsewhere as they do today.

They didn't instantly become great overnight! It's called growing

Calgary's 3 extra points are really showing the Oilers who's boss...
- SofaKingBored

Don't forget we have 3 games in hand...

And to be honest not much was expected from the Flames. Now the Leafs and Oilers...

So blues got quite a few.


Glad we settled this like ladies.

Nailed it

You were chirping at the beginning of the season how good this team was when they were winning. Now their losing it's because if their two best acquisitions?
Give it up.
We're not missing frattin, and bernier is way more upside than scrivens. Although I did like scrivens

Top 40? That seems a bit much, no?
Ah phaneuf and reimer! Look at the effort by the fn captain! Pathetic!

Get your stats and get the (frank) out whipper

Love yeti xoxoxo

Well Phaneuf was awful on that play along the boards... no compete there

- .HOHO.

Yeah, that short handed goal is just the icing on the cake. So they'll be tied with Carolina after tonight?

You tell me how many there are, what the definition of elite is, and what criteria is required to attain such status.
- robin_steele264

Ok well if we include Steen oshie backes ap jbo shattenkirk to.be elite. I say we are looking at say. 150-200 players being elite. That's quite a lot

I'm confused...
- SofaKingBored

Shocking!!!

Stat padding night.

u get offended easily.

and no I disagree . blues suck.
- Jurco_28

I get upset because a mind is a terrible thing to waste.

We have more ability than ever today to discuss whatever we want whenever we want with whomever we want. Why not use that to do it in the best way possible rather than obfuscating with fallacious arguments and insults?

Reimer is the bestest.

I said nothing like that. You OK?

Yes and yes
