@TopTierPucks @zach_20007 Which team has the most Cups in the past 40 years?

NHL all time franchise rankings

@NewWorldOilers Other than one playoff series, Lemieux did not play regularly with Jagr until the comeback. Gretzky did not play on a line with Messier. Yzerman/Federov … no Datszuk/Zetterberg…no You have nice narrative though.

Throughout history, with the exception of Crosby & Malkin, successful NHL teams play their best players together when they have a deep enough team to do so. And Edmonton has a deep enough team to do so. The Sedins Toews & Kane Zetterberg & Datsyuk Getzlaf & Perry

@Quintorris_ Because you found some evidence that you like rather than looking at all evidence?

MJs Bulls won 57 games then he retired and they won 55 games Bron won 61 with Cleveland, he left for Miami and the Cavs won 19 games the next year How can people genuinely debate who had the bigger impact on winning?

@NewWorldOilers Narrative. McDavid leads the NHL in shot assists…

The Oilers have all the talent in the world but lack work ethic, leadership and proper management. Crosby makes everyone around him better. That’s why he won 3x McDavid tries to do it all by himself. That’s the difference. 97 is still the best, but it’s a team sport. Facts.

@AndyOstroy And they never bring it up…

The more I see this the more it’s completely fake. Why the fuck are they all just standing there? That would NEVER happen. One, possibly two or more shooters out there still potentially firing? And they just stood there? As if they knew it was over….

@jtbourne Time travel McDavid to that era?

Not sure what you could possibly do to beat that time?

@jimmy_19821793 @ProducerDrew_ Please excuse me for the screw up as I was sent this…

@microstatsrule @ProducerDrew_ But if you read underneath it just says Mcdavid has the most assists. And the category head just says "A". Common sense would tell you a guy could never get 50 assists without 1 being secondary.

Question for Golden Knights fans. Now that the season is essentially done…are you happy about the Marner signing? #VegasBorn Vegas is currently on pace for their worst points percentage finish in team history

@jimmy_19821793 @ProducerDrew_ It says “Primary”…I said I blame Statmuse…I realize they have it wrong.

@microstatsrule @ProducerDrew_ That's assists. Not primary. You actually think every assist he's had this year has been primary? Jesus.

@jimmy_19821793 @ProducerDrew_ I blame statmuse…statmuse.com/nhl/ask/primar…

@microstatsrule @ProducerDrew_ Well that's not true.

@StatBoy_Steven You should be able to over-and-back the blue line (as long as possession is maintained) …3 on 3 🧐 …PPs 🥳 … all situations 🙊

NHL rule changes I want to see: - If a powerplay starts when the period starts, that face-off should be in the offensive zone - Jailbreak rule. Shorthanded goal ends the PP - If a team scores on a delayed penalty, they still get the powerplay - 3rd period or overtime cannot end on a PP if the team on the man advantage is trailing or the game is tied - Icing called when a team passes or skates the puck back across the red line in 3-on-3 overtime - When a bench minor is called, the opposing coach gets to choose who serves the penalty - Icing still called when shorthanded, unless you reach the blue line first - Either count all goals off the skate or count none of them. Remove the arbitrary element of the kicking-motion rule.

@Cory_Tucek Get him a Mark Recchi… see what happens.

@microstatsrule Not always, look at McDavid vs Florida the last two years…

One of the worst trades in franchise history.

@Cory_Tucek Elite players win Cups. Grit is for narratives.

@microstatsrule I’ll fully disagree with you until the end of time on this one. Did I hate losing Recchi and Coffey? Yes. Was it necessary for a 2nd Cup? Yes.

@Cory_Tucek A 3rd pairing d-man.

@microstatsrule Tocchet was the right guy at the right time. Don’t forget Kjell Samuelson. They needed to become tougher that year.

@Cory_Tucek No. The rise of Jagr was all that was needed. BS terrible trade.

@microstatsrule Doesn’t matter, it was necessary for the 2nd Cup. I’ll take that all day.

@Cory_Tucek Which guy is in the HOF?

@microstatsrule That deal is a major reason we won the 1992 cup. It’s one of the top 5 trades in team history.

@Cory_Tucek Yes.

@microstatsrule You mean the Recchi one in 1992?

@DaleHay41993689 The 125th ranked golfer did not make more than the USA median household income (before expenses) until the 1980s. Casper is overrated and so are the rest of them.

Definitely 2 US Open wins and a Masters and 51 PGA Tour wins 7th overall. Won the Vardon Trophy 5 times and won the Money List and was Player of the year each twice and remember his contemporaries were Nicklaus, Palmer, Player, Trevino and Watson.
