I'd like a guy like Pominville and a guy like Nash on my team. They're both necessary types of players if you want to win the Cup.

yes but that wasn't the question someone posed

sekera had stretches when he was a best

doesn't hold merit for putting his name on the norris

- homiedclown


You're not getting the Point all i'm saying if he has better motivation he be a much better player

if he did the workouts gus does and has the motivation he does hes up there with stamkos

yea but the question was pure skill vs pure heart. Nash and Pominville have both, it's a bad example.

It wasn't actually a question that was asked. Someone said they'd take a team of all allstars over a team of heart.

And neither one of those formulas win the Cup. You need a combination of both. Sometimes you get lucky and your all stars also have heart (see Duncan Keith and Jonathan Toews).

I don't understand why Nash get's so much poop ..

It's like it's always On "him " if NY sucks ..

are people really giving stamkos for doing poop in the playoffs ? no

Ugh. You really like beating your head into a wall don't you?

Even if Vanek put in the work of these other guys, he probably still wouldn't win the Rocket Richard Trophy, because there are still players that have more skill than he does.

Can we move on now?

only 1 team wins it each year, it's kind of tough.

That scrub Stamkos must be as bad as Nash since he was drafted that high and can't win it all either. As is Kovalchuk, Tavares, Ovechkin...

The blame that Nash gets all the time is nuts to me.

you pointed out vanek's stretch, I countered with sekera's stretch


if sekera played like he did for a 3 week stretch after a benching, and I said he could have multiple awards, I would be laughed at more then I was for suggesting sam can get 50 points in the NHL this season

I don't recall barker ever getting "paid". Had that one season with the hawks where he had 40 pts but that was about it for him.

Only good thing Darcy did for this orgaization was trading Vanek, it has led to what we see here today. Pominville was a nothing player, worst C this team has had and he isn't a leader.
