I am a big fan of Toews. I think he's better than Marchand. Partly because in his prime you could argue he was a top 5 player in the league. I dont know if Marchand was ever in that type of conversation.

Brad Marchand is well above a point per game player since the 2016-17 season. He even has a 100 point season under his belt. The only thing that gets in his way is he himself.

It shouldn't. He played over 1700 games. Most ever by a player.

It’s certainly impressive, but when I think of HOF I’m thinking best players ever. MVPs, odds are he’s in but it’s more for longevity than actual play.

They know how to tank! Well the GM does lol

Ownership always gives the green light when it comes to tanking. In flyers case, Comcast won’t

With the Ducks lineup, it's crazy how bad they are. They have some good players and still suck.

I think Marchand was considered a top 10 for a couple of years….at least by me…he really does it all. When he gets away from the stupid stuff, there’s an elite talent level there.

What's with the rainbow jihad crap on tonight's broadcast? I thought the rainbow jihad was in June.

Absolutely hes a talent and maybe top 10. He doesn't play center though and wasn't close to as good as Toews at his best. A more prolific scorer for sure. Not as good defensively.

Is Sanheim seeing consistent PP time or is Torts just adding him from time to time? I feel like his offense has dried up since putting him on the PP.

Congratulations to Hayes on first Hat Trick.

Good for Hayes. Nice game from him. A lot of plus in his game with some minus to go along with it.

It's on the TV in the game. Are you watching the FLyers game? Maybe not on in TO.

Agreed on Klingberg. Good for them that they only gave him 1 year. He's gone next year and will only get maybe half of that ... unless Fletcher has him in his sights. Then he'll get $8M for 8 years with NMC.

So? Is isnt about hockey and why make a comment about it at all? You come across as someone who doesn't like it calling it "crap" and wondering why its being aired outside of June.

Don't be that person.

I was polite. I said it isnt a topic for here. End of story. Move on.

This will be the 7th straight year that Marchand will average more the a point a game….Toews has never done that, once in his career….I just quickly looked at Toews offensive numbers, very good, not great. I will grant you Toews was a fantastic 2 way Center…..but I’ll take the licker…

Oh wait one year…48 points in 47 games.

I think Anaheim was hoping he would perform well and they would get a lot at the deadline. I guess Klingberg should have taken whatever long term deal he was offered last year cause no way he gets a massive deal this one if this keeps up.

Sanheim has been really streaky this year offensively…ok for tonight Risto picked him up.

Provorov is a gutless puke coward and if you’re in some state to defend him, then you’re the problem. Have a great night all.
