If datsyuk played every game of his career, he'd finish with 1105 points, as calculated by his points per game

thats not top 50 of all time, but its nothing to shake a stick at

I think people that don't think he's HHoF material havent actually watched him play
>>
>>68725472
The reason he was so good wasn't just because of his ridiculous hands and offensive ability. He was one of the best defensive forwards in his prime. He's a HOFer in my opinion.

stop changing things. it's fine where it is.

at most, react to any increase in embellishment on the ice. Protect the integrity and the violence of hockey. It's at the core of what the sport is about. Nowhere else do you get that kind of freedom to push and shove for fun

>>68725495
He's very hockey smart as well. It's a shame his ankles blew out

in an alternate universe
Healthy ankles
no kid overseas
hot american wife that makes him feel at home
plays until he's 40 (2 years after this contract)
continues to put up 1 or more points per game (unlike this year)
finish 1400 points career

Dear /hoc/,

I've been following hockey for almost a decade but I still am undecided about a team of my own. (My wife is a Red Wings fan (in b4 wife on /sp/) but I have never warmed up to taking her team)

Would becoming a fan of the yet-named Vegas team be ideal, so I can actually follow a club from day one?

Pls respond

Who thought this would happen? There is absolutely no reason to waste a spot on him when the team is trending younger

So the rags basically gave up prospects for absolutely nothing? If the price is decent I would sign staal to a 3 year deal or something. Letting him walk is kind of stupid. Hes still capable of playing 2nd line center minutes.
>>
>>68725721
Absolutely not
Pronger was the most dominant defenseman in the league for years
Datsyuk was never the most dominant forward, not even close
>>
>>68725811

Whatever team is closest to where you live.
>>
>>68725897
Then you're an idiot the reasons are obvious
>>
>>68725886
Well, then I'd say can pick from Dallas or Nashville. Unless you have favorite teams in other sports that have big rivaleries from teams from those states. In that case you may pick Carolina or St. Louis instead.
>>
>>68725933
Dallas Stars 6-8 hrs depending on Baton Rouge/Shreveport traffic, St. Louis Blues about 9 hrs, Nashville Predators about 8 hrs, Tampa Bay Lightning about 12 hrs.... so really, i'm screwed.

>>68725900

If he plays like he did 2 years ago and during the lockout shortened season, he's more than capable of even being a #1 center on more than half the teams in the league.

>>68725939
Staal was over paid and played uninspired hockey after we won the cup. He was a hero here because of the potential he had to be a superstar and his community outreach. Raleigh people liked having a big name around because we felt it gave the team legitimacy. The franchise paid him like one too. He never played up to his contract. Empty stats on losing teams he led. Francis duped NY and is leading a youth focused rebuild. There is no reason to waste a line spot on him that could be given to a younger player that will be a big part of the future.

>>68725963
He will not be playing like that again
>>
>>68725886
When I start watching a new sport
what I look for in a team to support is a team that hasn't had a lot of success in the past few years but are clearly headed in the right direction. The goal would be to give yourself a season or two so that once they're winning shit you won't be regarded as a bandwagoner.

Of course the com of this is that you risk supporting a team that is shit and stays shit.

I'd probably say panthers or preds for more assurance , although their goalies are getting old.

Leafs would be a good bet. Original 6 teams are good for ppl not close to hockey markets because of diaspora.

Sneaking into the playoffs, sure, but getting out of the first round would be an achievement.

Things get weirder when you lose your team though. I am/was a Thrashers fan, my loyalties went with them north of the border, and I've only recently been able to bring myself to pull for a closer team in the Bolts.

But there's nothing that could bring me to pull for the Preds, Caps, Panthers or Canes.

Facebook reminded me a week or two ago that it was the anniversary of the day the team left and all those awful emotions came rushing back. The rumors about an Atlanta buyer stepping in to save the club, rumors about Glavine doing the same, and then when they had that meeting in the middle of the night and folks in the know told us that the NHL was going to make the move happen no matter what. I fucking cried listening to that press conference.

Being from Atlanta, I know all about losing in championship games but I'd rather lose in a title game every year or have every team never make the playoffs again than lose a team. I'd never wish that shit on any sports fan. Maybe the Phillies.

I'm west of Atlanta so it sucks for me. Phillips was maybe a 20 minute drive. I would often get off from class and see the Thrashers on a whim. Gwinnett is about 1h20m for me so I never really get to see them.

It's okay, we'll have an NHL team within 5 years and Canadians will be absolutely triggered.

>>68727956
I keep promising myself I'm going to go catch a few Glads games every year but I never do, just feels like it wouldn't be the same. But I guess I need to suck it the fuck up, because it's still hockey.

Also, I've seen a few conflicting rumors on an AHL team coming to town. Some people seem to think it would never happen, I've seen others say it's already being looked into. Whatever the case, I imagine we'll have to go through the process of having a reasonably well-supported AL club in town for a while before we ever get a shot at a big league club again. Probably not going to happen before I die though, and I'm 29. What a nightmare.

Same here mang, how far west are you? What's sad is that the further you get out this direction, the more people there are who either never realized we had the Thrashers or who are oblivious to the fact that we relocated. Closer to the perimeter though, the support was and is there, it was just never seized upon by the ASG.

Honestly, I hate that group of cocksuckers more than any rival pro team. I truly hope that every single one of them dies a long, horrific, painful death.

>>68728160
The only way to get them to stay is to support them, the problem was that nobody knew anything about hockey. There's virtually nowhere to play hockey around. They wanted to "grow the game" but they did a shitty job of it. It doesn't help that the Trashers were shit pretty much every season.

They're okay. Cheap tickets,lots of good food in the Gwinnett Arena area, and they often have puppies before the game. And the goalie chants are fun, lots of passionate fans who like the team.

Check out a Swarm game if you get the chance. I never knew that box lacrosse was exactly hockey but on turf.

I'm in Austell, just off six flags. I also went to GT so I would literally just go to a game on a whim. It wasn't much more expensive than a movie ticket. At least I got to see Boulton's hat trick live. And at least we have Publix.

Finally Kopitar will be a better captain than browne, like pavelski's a better captain than thorton. Wonder if next season the kings will see comprable success to what the sharks saw this year. I get it's not really analogous. Certainly a league with the parity of the nhl is influenced more by the whole team, but look how the C road luongo out of vauhncouver.

I'm one of the people that has a really hard time putting the blame on the city, not just for the Thrashers but the Flames as well. In both cases, our support suffered (though not nearly to the degree that people pretend it did) because of ownership. I can understand the factors that resulted in us losing the Flames far more than the Thrashers. Bettman knew exactly what the ASG were, everyone did. They were trying to sell the club the moment they bought them. When that didn't happen within enough time, the NHL should have stepped in immediately to prevent losing a city that was in no way, shape or form a lost cause.

Ted Turner really only knew how to throw cash at his teams, and that's what he did with the Thrashers, god bless him. But he made some poor decisions staffing the front office and the ASG didn't care to rectify them because they had no interest in keeping the club. Together, Bettman and Atlanta Spirit gave us a fucking that would violate the m-less terms of service in about 40 different ways. And did so in part because he didn't want to do it to Phoenix, which blows my fucking mind to this day.

Ahh, what's the good word?

And yeah, it was at least nice to not spend a fortune on the games, but I would gladly pay much more than I did if it meant keeping the team. And I was in fucking Florida, keeping up with the game on my phone the night Boulton got his hat trick, I'll never forgive myself for that.

I thought I saw that he wanted to stay recently?

like, the lightning had a fair shot at the cup. If they played a little better, they'd have blown the sharks out of the water just like the penguins

i guess if he really wants to stay, he'll make a reasonable deal to fit in their team
>>
>>68728433
Both their primary points per game is fine. Nylander played on an offensively shallow team+his goalscoring collapsed down the stretch of the regular season due to a shoulder injury. After Nylander rehabbed his shoulder for the playoffs he was over 2ppg.

Tkachuk's goalscoring during the regular season was pretty lacking but being over a goal per game in the playoffs more than makes up for it. He'll go 4 or 5 for sure now.
