It was just such a big word for you. Considering you (frank)ed up the theirs 15 times before that.

Ya most expectations are way out of whack.

But to be considerd great, I think you better be top 12-15ish at your position at your position and or consistantly produce at a 75+ point rate.

So a guy who had back to back years of 82 and 91 points and then was 76pts int 67 games was never great?

He wasn't great his first 2 years, which is when they won the cup.

I thought you were just talking about great centers in general? Also the year they won the cup he played like a great center in the playoffs.

I'm talking about how theirs no magical formula to win a cup, ie you can't win without great centers.

the proof is there. like I said, Getz may not have been your definition of 'great' his first couple years, but he was a beast the playoffs they won the cup.

The proof is there that you don't need great center(s), even if you don't want to give in on Getzlaf - Boston/NJ

NJ 95 is the only one that really falls in with that line of thinking. despite your obstinance, pretty much every cup winner has had one.

And the fact that teams lacking great centers (Edmonton in 06/Flames in 04) can get within a game or two of the cup is a fantastic argument that you don't need great centers.

I mean it's pretty ridiculous to think that the difference between 1 or two wins is lining the best forward up 6 feet away, or putting a slightly better center in place of the one there.
