Pavel Datsyuk was traded for Joe Vitale.

Really, just his contract was.

Buddy, based on your argument anything is possible which is an extremely unrealistic way to look at things.

A lot of things we think of as unlikely are possible. That's the reality, pal.

@mhockey91 Looking back at this, I mean, Vegas going to the 2nd round this year was interesting. I can't remember when they lost though, because I know the Blues won the cup. I mean, it was super unlikely that they'd lose that lead against San Jose. I stopped watching and never checked what happened in that game, so i'm just assuming Vegas won, because they were up 3-0 in the 3rd in game 7. Am i right?

Also, Columbus beating Tampa Bay, Carolina beating Washington, Dallas beating Nashville and Colorado beating Calgary seemed unlikely to all happen lol.

this is the dumbest comment in the world. https://globalnews.ca/event/3865388/cac-midget-aaa-vs-canadian-womens-olympic-hockey-team/
women athletes play against BOYS and LOSE cause thats the level they are at. upsets are part of hockey. there's a wayyyyyy better chance sens win the Stanley cup then a women being an NHL player. its not sexist, its just biology and facts.

It was more of a joke than an actual argument for why women could play in the NHL. I just found this thread and after @Bflo_Soldier's comment, I had to say something about the NHL playoffs. I still disagree with you, but I think we've agreed to disagree because this went absolutely nowhere.

Also, I think you're right about the Senators. There's a very real chance they win the cup ...

In 4 or 5 years, when they "spend close to the cap" lol.

No one labelled you sexist for thinking the Sens have a better chance of winning the Stanley Cup than a "woman" playing in the NHL. I don't think anyone would even disagree with you.
Your previous contention was that a woman would NEVER play in the NHL. Others, myself included, argued that it's entirely possible.

When they start playing at a level that’s better than minor midget AAA then we’ll talk

Here we go again ...

There are women who play at a level that's better than minor midget AAA. And we've been talking.

Lmao wow the bar is so high!!! Minor midget AAA! Damn!!!

**** me, can this thread just die

Another thing is that the Golden Knights going to the Stanley Cup Final seemed to be "not possible" lol.

It's like you're saying that because the Vancouver Canucks have never won the Stanley Cup, that means it will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER happen. EVER.

Not quite like that, but do you get what i'm saying?

Uh, that's the bar you had set. So...

Lmao exactly. On average Olympic women are comparable to 16 year old boys. So forget about a women ever going pro to the NHL. It’s just not gonna happen. Anyways I’m done with this thread

It doesn't really make sense to reference the "average" when discussing the possibility for an extreme outlier.
You were always done because you couldn't wrap your head around that.

There’s not gonna be an extreme outlier though LMAO. That’s my point. Look how the best women hockey played (Haley wickenhised) did in tier 3 men’s euro hockey. My point has been proven

You've already conceded in this area.

mhockey91: "I can’t “prove” that women wont play in the NHL"

Okay, and I also can’t prove that Toronto maple leafs are gonna relocate next season. That’s how ridiculous this argument is.

They have the Raptors, NBA champions. And who cares about the Leafs? They haven't existed since 1967!

Really, though, your argument makes no sense. You're saying that because no women have ever played in the NHL, that means it will never happen, guaranteed. But the road team has never won the first 6 games in a playoff series. Could that realistically happen?

I'm not going to say it is absolutely impossible for the road team to win the first 6 games in a playoff series in the NHL. It hasn't happened before, but it could.

And the game has been changing anyway. There was a time when you could totally get away with Tom Wilson-like hits to the head. And you can't anymore. Look at a guy like Lucic. He was playing way better in the old NHL as a big player. Now, he's probably too slow for the NHL. It's such a fast game now, and it could change even more.

And you're saying there can't be ONE woman with the speed, shot, strength, size, etc of an NHLer. That makes no sense. And look at a guy like Johnny Gaudreau or Alex DeBrincat. It is not all about size anymore.

This.

I’m not even reading this. You sound so dumb. Not wasting my time.

Lol I'm sure it totally makes sense to disagree with what I said without reading it.
