Steve Perry is a better singer than all of these icons with the possible exception of Freddie and Plant. David Byrne?🙄

Who's missing???

why do Oilers fans think they are anywhere near the Habs all time?

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

@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.
English

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



@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.
English

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

@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.

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

One of the worst trades in franchise history.

On this day in 1996, the Penguins traded Markus Naslund to the Canucks for Alek Stojanov. Stojanov would play 45 games in Pittsburgh, while Naslund would go on to score 346 goals and 756 points in Vancouver #Hockey365 #LetsGoPens #Canucks

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

@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.
English

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

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

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

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