The one who desperately wanted to be traded from Vancouver and did a press conference to tell the world that his "contract sucked"? The one who asked to be in Florida Panthers gear in the Hockey Hall of Fame?
The Ring of Honour is a joke. The Ring of Winning Sweet Fuck All.

I feel like you'd be happier if you just didn't watch sports

OIL Country going for 9 in a row tonight!

They’ve had a soft schedule, no BTBs and a 5 day break.

You're a fucking idiot.
Just because I don't cheer for the Canuck version of a participation ribbon doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching sports.
Enjoy the view from your high horse, cheering for athletes that almost win.

I golfed with three Oiler fans from Red Deer Alberta yesterday, insufferable listening to them tell me how McDavid is better than Mario Lemieux. Apparently only Gretzky, in NHL history, is better than McBaby.

Every day is hate day when you confront the participation no score glee team.

Trust me it's more fun to just enjoy things sometimes rather than always look for a reason to hate everything

Mcdavid is probably going to hit 1000 points before he turns 28. A lot of years to go, but if he paces even close to where he's been at to this point in his career there will be an argument to be made

He should go into The Ring of Honour.

You're right, he's never going to win a cup so he certainly won't make it into the HoF, that's for winners.

Game day hate is like the 3rd jersey appearances.

What argument is that? Mario hit 1000 points in 513 games.

Era adjusted scoring is generally what people will reference in regards to Lemieux

does Era adjusted take into account "expected" for and against.

Indoctrination.

Another died suddenly, lots of that going on.

He died following a brief illness. Couldn't find out what , but likely cancer.

Maybe they could also reference cancer and having only played 915 games?

Yes, in fact there is a cancer adjustment slider they use on all stats just to ensure accuracy.

When discussing the best players of all time it has just as much relevance as adjusting for era

I mean if a guy gets to 999 games played and breaks his spine, we don't grant him the 1000th game out of sympathy. Era adjustment is more relevant because it's literally a different sport with modern equipment, training, etc.


I really have no horse in this race, I'm not about to declare Mcjesus better than Lemieux
