Of course the best is a point of perspective in what a team needs and what you want each player to do.

Example, if Ovechkin was on Pitts and Crosby was on Washington, who do you think would do better?

On washington, Backstrom would be likely moved down, Semin would stay on Crosbys win and it wouldnt be much change.

On Pitts, Ovechkin would be on top line with Malkin and that, that would be fucking scary.

Are you crazy? If Crosby was on Washington it would be ridic. Malkin is overrated. Crosby plays with glorified 3rd liners and still is the best. Ovechkin plays with other superstars...

SaskatchewanChamp 12-04-2010 10:01 AM

I strongly believe that the Caps, and mostly the top lines, are focusing on their defensive play. It has, and always will be their downfall come playoff time.

Hanso Amore 12-04-2010 10:03 AM

I dunno. While I agree that Ovie has a way better supporting cast, I think if you swap Crosby and Ovechkin they would still produce about the same as they do now. They are both Great.

Just two very different players.

Spilchuk, if Malkin is overrated, care to explain how he carried the pens on his back when Crosby was injured and how he won an Art Ross trophy?

YOUR Hero 12-04-2010 12:48 PM

Malkin has really fallen off. His potential is still large, but as a superstar, no. Somethings different about him now, like he's lost 1/4 a step or a ton of confidence.

... F.A. you're brining up what Malkin did 2 years ago.

SaskatchewanChamp 12-04-2010 05:36 PM

Malkin is the typical Russian Sniper. When he wants to go, he can go. If he doesn't.... well Alex Kovalev is the perfect example.

Lara Emily 12-04-2010 08:47 PM

4-0 Pens after 1 against Columbus

Chased Steve Mason already, 3 for 3 on the PP and Crosby now has points in I believe 15 straight, scoring another deflection goal, he now leads the league in goals and points

Arashi Kage 12-04-2010 09:12 PM

Malkin scratched for tonight's game :shifty:

El Fangel 12-04-2010 09:13 PM

He was already leading Stamkos by 4 and Ovy by 11...

yup and now he's up by 2 goals and 6 points

6-1 Pens

Corndad 12-04-2010 09:45 PM

7-1 This is crazy.

El Fangel 12-04-2010 10:03 PM

Lol

Arashi Kage 12-04-2010 10:22 PM

Leafs - Bruins game is pretty good. The Leafs are playing hard, 2-1 Bruins at present but that is because of Thomas being sharp and JS being caught back in his net twice.

Note - I'm not a Leafs fan (Pens fan since '88), but I'd like to see the Leafs win this game. Kessel (never liked him ever) needs to score in this game.

Arashi Kage 12-04-2010 10:35 PM

VERSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG!!!!

Seriously, without Thomas, this is a 7-2 game for the Leafs, lol.

Looks like we'll get OT.


edit:

Thomas robbed the Leafs of a sure goal in OT.

Going to shoot-out, shots 40-27 Leafs.

Emperor Smeat 12-04-2010 10:53 PM

Both horrible but yet hilarious how Thomas saved Kessel's attempt but yet ended up sliding back into the net.

:mad: Ryder sucks at shootouts and manages to hit the post more often than goalies making a save against his shots.

El Fangel 12-05-2010 12:52 AM

Canadiens bitches!!!!

Arashi Kage 12-05-2010 01:37 AM

Taylor Hall with a pure beauty to win on a breakaway in OT for the Oilers!

Andy MacDonald with the WTF moment of the game which essentially set up the Hall breakaway - it's like he skated and just spontaneously slipped / fell into Horcoff's legs and smashed his head into a knee or shin. :wtf: Hope he's ok.

weather vane 12-05-2010 05:22 PM

lol we lose to the leafs

El Fangel 12-05-2010 06:32 PM

But hey, you still have their 1st overall pick:)

LoDownM 12-07-2010 12:35 AM

10 Game Win streak :cool:

IC Champion 12-07-2010 01:38 PM

Sidney Crosby is raping the NHL right now.

Droford 12-07-2010 08:52 PM

Dayton Gems have Jerry Lawler Night in February

I'd buy a replica of that jersey.

Blitz 12-08-2010 12:09 AM

Nice comeback from the Leafs last night. Gustavsson played lovely.

YOUR Hero 12-08-2010 11:06 AM

Montreal beat the Habs last night.

-That's the type of reporting I got this morning listening to my local news.... :nono:

LoDownM 12-08-2010 01:30 PM

lol

Arashi Kage 12-08-2010 09:55 PM

Crosby with 2 against the Leafs so far tonight.

He just might be taking a run at 50 in 50, whatcha think?

I never expected anyone to come close anymore.

El Fangel 12-09-2010 12:50 AM

He will likely hit it. 27/29 so far, a couple 2 or three goal games and he will have a good shot. As long as he doesn't score 23 in the next ten or less, I'm fine with it.

LoDownM 12-09-2010 12:50 AM

30 Games actually.

El Fangel 12-09-2010 01:09 AM

Yinno, i don't think I would mind his success aa much if I wasnt living in his hometown. I swear if I hear him compared to Gretzky once more ill kill someone.

weather vane 12-09-2010 03:23 AM

Well he is the best player in the world.

El Fangel 12-09-2010 03:28 AM

That is completely debatable and you as an intelligent hockey fan know that.

In Gretzkys case, there was no debate.

Kapoutman 12-09-2010 04:23 PM

I would indeed say that Crosby is the best player in the world.

There can still be debate. For me I'd say Lemieux is the best ever. Some might say Orr or Howe.

parkmania 12-09-2010 07:04 PM

IF the Pens can keep winning, they will have a chance to tie the NHL record for consecutive wins @WAS on Dec 23rd, 1 week before the Winter Classic - talk about a buildup!

This.

Lemieux for me too. Guy doesn't even have 1000 games played(915) and is No. 7 all time points getter and in the Top Ten for just about everything else.

Arashi Kage 12-09-2010 07:30 PM

There will never be another Super Mario. He'll always be my favorite player - and the best! My 2003 TPWW avatar was a Lemieux montage that I made.

"Sid, I know that you're gonna be great.... but you'll never be 'Le Magnifique'.."

JimmyMess 12-09-2010 09:14 PM

Mario Lemieux #2 to Wayne Gretzky overall.

Mario Lemieux I'd say is the most talented of all time. But here is the one statistc that separates the "Great One" from the rest

Three players have posted 100 assists in a season: Gretzky, Orr, Lemieux

Orr did it 1 time
Lemieux did it 1 time
Gretzky did it 11 times


All times are GMT -4. The time now is 06:08 PM.
