Trust me, I have had those same arguments. It's absurd. The Coyotes blogger (James Tanner) thinks that Kessel is the best winger in the NHL.

Not someone.... A bunch of them. I just laugh it off now. I will be generous and say maybe 10% of their true fans actually know something about the game.

If the Leafs had Giroux they would make a (frank)ing shrine for him.

I dig the accuracy shooting. They should add a puck-handling drill. Not sure how you jazz it up for tv, pepsi and the kids though...

I think that title should be reserved for a player who realizes there is ice on the other side of his blue line.

Mason has a career .920 s% as a Flyer. I doubt Bob posts that with the Flyers defense. Currently this season Mason has a .920 % and Bob has a .913 %. I dont feel like we lost on Bob at all.

Mason is the victim of the worst PK too. He has a .933 ES sv% while Bob has a .917 ES sv%. This year, Mason has been better.

That's insanity. Must just not know the game. I play watch eat breathe hockey and I know that he's just not a great player for many reasons. Most people who have played know that.

That is why I would never put Ovechkin in my top 10 players in the league. I wont even consider it. I dont care how many goals he scores.

Looking at forwards, defenseman, and goaltenders, I don't think that's unreasonable. I think a case can be made for that pretty easily.


Toews
Kane
Keith
Giroux
Bergeron
Chara
Rinne
Weber
Doughty
Kopitar

Also have other players I would add before Ovechkin.

The only one I truly love is the baseball ASG. It is the only sport of the main 4 that lends itself perfectly to an all star game. You cant really play baseball half assed if you want to look good.

Wish they still had great jerseys like seen in the photo of Lindros and Lecair and the photo of Roenick.

It's the only All-star that actually has an impact correct? Doesn't decide whether NL or AL gets home field advantage for World Series?

The Pro Bowl is the worst. It would be better to have 7-7 flag football game.
