Bout the same in Canada and the upper ny, where I live we get the most snow out of most everywhere in NA


Is that normal during winters in there?

Think it has been uncommonly cold and snowy winter here in southern Finland. Usually we have couple days being this freaking cold here during winters, but this year it has been like weeks or so.

This year it has been pretty cold, with like 2 or 3 -40C days, and even a -50 with the windchill day. But I live in Saskatchewan.

you could argue Crosby is better because he won a cup by that age and could make the playoffs more than 1 time. Also McDavid plays with some guy named Draisaitl, he's decent from what I hear

which goes back to my point that crosby won that cup because he was on a better team, and mcdavid didn't have the supporting cast that crosby did.

FWIW Crosby had Malkin. Imo at the time they won the 2009 cup Malkin was the best player in the world.

McDavid has Draisaitl. Not saying he has a cup calibre supporting cast but he can't even make the playoffs for two consecutive years. Crosby would have made the playoffs every year with this group and probably would have won a round or two along the way

PIT had a better core behind Crosby and Malkin. Those guys provided some huge leadership as well. They set an example and a demand high level performance from their teammates.

Edmonton is a poor joke behind McDavid and Draisaitl. Also neither bring the same leadership and example. They play well and try to carry the rest of the team in their back, without setting no example. They just end up sinking with the rest of the team with no cohesion whatsoever.

Individual talent seems fairly equal, but their personalities when it comes to winning big games are complete opposites if you ask me. This is why Pens have the cups and Edmonton doesn't. And most likely never will.

Dude didn't play one second since mid march, we honestly should've seen that one coming

We REALLY should've let him play in Rimouski before Christmas and at the WJC, just to get his game shape

Crosby would have taken this team to at least be a consistent playoff team. Probably would have won a round or two somewhere along the way. Not saying McD has a cup core alongside him but.. yeah
