Jeez how bad is he in his own zone? Does he just skate around or stand there? Stick speed, foot speed, hockey IQ, seems strange

I heard somebody bring this up the other night and blew my stack. Yes, it's crazy. Draisaitl is the 3rd best player in the NHL, possibly even 2nd (depends where you put Mack), but there is no doubt whatsoever that Connor McDavid is the greatest freaking hockey player in the world (save for defense, and Draisaitl's is even worse).

What's Draisaitl's card look like? In all honestly I'm in the same boat that McDavid is far above and beyond the best player. Just Draisaitl actually tries in the Dzone, but then again Draisaitl expected goals vs his actual goals he's scored like 8 more goals than he should have or 6 or something dumb. It's also amazing to think that Draisaitl is on the PK this year, it's crazy to think about the potential of a Draisaitl, McDavid PK pairing if McDavid cared.

In general both put more emphasis on offense than defense which is surprising considering Mcdavid his first 2 years was 60% EVD and 75 % on the PK and Draisaitl fluctuates between 0% EVD and 4%. Rn he is at 2% EVD

Color commentating is probably a lot harder than play by play because you have to have an opinion on everything going on so I get that. BUt J.T. Brown is not good at it

At UBS arena watching the Penguins take on the Bridgeport Islanders and I’ve come to the conclusion Lou needs to acquire more former Devils

The caps are the best team in the nhl. Please tell me why not. I would like to add we are missing the 2nd line. Our 4th are ahlers for now. Our fourth line is our third line.

We’re losing to Buffalol, send this team to the moon, Petry is looking like Cody Ceci out there, Norlinder is supposed to be a good PP player so let’s not play him on a 4 minute PP

Was at a coffee shop today, Jack Quinn, Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, and a bunch of other Hershey bears where there as well! Fun to see those guys in person.

My defence is a work in progress but my tank, goaltending, offense, prospects and picks are looking good

Buffalo was apparently looking for a goalie as mentioned in 32 thoughts and if they could get Murray for free seems like a win win for them as even if he sucks they can tank anyway for Bedard while also getting to the cap floor for 2022

If not I wonder about Edmonton. Gives them a starter and who knows maybe playing with them will help him
