I read the rest, it still doesn't matter - a person's opinion can't be wrong

I should have used the word fact instead of opinion. But I understand. I'm a pro-opinion guy, everyone deserves one. But I'm an engineer and when facts are wrong I get all antsy in my pantsy.

Taylor Hall (6) - John Tavares (5.5) - Jordan Eberle (6)
Evander Kane (5.25) - Tyler Seguin(5.75) - Jamie Benn (5.25)
Justin Abdelkater (1.8) - Sam Reinhart (.925) - Brayden Schenn (2.5)
Dan Paille (1.3) - Jordan Nolan (.7) - Tom Wilson (.895)

Drew Doughty (7) - Duncan Keith (5.5)
Victor Hedman (4) - Johnny Boychuk (3.3)
Ryan Murray (.895) - Adam McQuaid (1.5)

Ben Bishop (2.3)
Frederik Andersen (1.5)


$67.865MM

That would be a very interesting team to watch. Goal would have me slightly concerned, for health reasons only.

It's a pretty bamf lineup. Not sure I'd take McQuaid but I like it overall.

Did anyone listen to Tony Twist this morning on Hockey Hotline. I caught it on the way to work, and it's definitely worth a listen.

Yeah, feel free to point out incorrect facts, but just keep it civil when you do. I've been watching some craziness in another thread recently where a whole big post was made and then ignored by people tearing the poster down for having 1 fact wrong. And that lasted for pages...

It's hard to find players to fit that cap. Especially with the talent up top.

Ekblad and Reinhart? Finkle and Einhorn? How would one team handle all that star power?

Yea, that was the hard part. Plus I really like how much toughness McQuaid brings on the back end.

The story at the end...

Granted, I doubt I could have the humor about it.

My favorite part that sticks out:

-Twist : "that was the hardest 8 months of my life"
-Peters : "or the softest"

I almost lost my coffee on my windshield

I'm really digging photo #2 and #5 (though I never got the chance to see Claude Lemieux play)

I'm skeptical. We already have one of those, Kaleta.

I don't think Kaleta is in TM's long term plans . Which should make 89 very happy !

Think it depends on the direction PK goes. Him on the PK and as a 4th line that CAN contribute to the score sheet on the cheap, could be what we need. As long as he isn't a target by the officials . Or does anything stupid.

Hopefully the whole season out of the big team will have helped erase the stigma and he has the reigns on with Gionta, Gorges, Nolan, etc.
