There’s a sh*t load of players more deserving than Zegras, and I have absolutely no clue who that other person is.


EA always does everything they can to draw in players with fancy tricks over actual hockey. Zegras is "The Michigan Guy". Play our game and do the cool move!
In EA's ideal world, they'd be able to just replace the pass button with the Michigan deke, the defensemen with actual pylons, and have the AI goaltender move back and forth like a metronome while doing the macarena.

Palm trees and shorts, no helmets, very immersive. Nothing screams NHL like a day at the beach.
I'm all for including women's hockey as well, but they presented it in the worst possible way. Nobody is looking at this cover and taking women's hockey seriously, because there's little to do with hockey in the image. You want to give women credibility, at least make them look professional and in their element. An athlete, not a jersey model.

My friend sent me a funny but ironically makes sense trade idea

Sandin for Durzi

His reasoning

Kings need a LD, Toronto needs a RD

Not bad but Leafs in a sense will need a LD for 2023 considering Muzzin and Gio's age and potential for a health issue arising

Nope as for one Sandin is younger and second both are very similar players

TOR adds lul yeah right

In general Sandin doesnt suffer 2 knee injuries probs ends with a significantly higher total than Durzi. Plus in terms of defense Sandin is the better guy. Durzi took to many penalties for his own good and that will just cause issues for us which is why I dont think its a good idea to do it. Also Niemela is coming

It’s incredibly dumb. Just take an Uber, it’s not that hard.

Lou is burying Bode Wilde for not getting the vaccine, letting Aho come to camp would be a terrible move.

He’s actually just gonna use it as an excuse to tell him to gain 20 pounds, put on some muscle. If he was bigger he woulda been under the legal limit 😤😤

Not that I'm an advocate for drunk driving... but c'mon man. 0.02? That's a very low limit and being just barely above that is nothing to kick up a fuss over. The law is the law, and he shouldn'ta oughta done that, but this shouldn't even be a story if this was the good Sebastian Aho.

Edit: Funny that the Isles included the details in their statement. Even they're like "this some bullsh*t"

What most people learn is that "it's okay to have this much", not "don't drink and drive". The tolerance is there for honest mistakes, not to let you have a drink and still get behind the wheel.

Then there are the ones who think it's fine as long as they don't get caught or in an accident. It doesn't matter if it takes them two lanes to get home or that other people are doing the accident evasion.
Those ones are irredeemable.

The “Beiber” side of that jersey sucks so much, it’s not even funny. The real side is actually good though.

Don’t even start me on the Durzi to Toronto nonsense lol. It’s fine in theory but the annoying part about it is that it’s just leafs haters trying to hate on the Muzzin trade.

Agreed, but if you really think about it wouldnt that trade mean Toronto won the Muzzin trade as Muzzin and Durzi would be on the same team

That said I see your point and as I mentioned above would rather keep Sandin

In Canada, you need 0.08 to be charged with drunk driving, man’s at 0.03, sure he broke the law but Sweden pretty much has a 0 tolerance policy, they pretty much don’t want any alcohol at all in your system

I’m fine with idea of getting Durzi for Sandin, I’m just sick of the weird obsession with Durzi because Dubas traded him. That’s all. I actually don’t mind the idea, I just prefer Sandin slightly.

Not getting into a drunk driving debate, but the simple solution to not drink and drive, period. End of debate.

I like Sandin for the fact his playstyle kind of reminds me of early Slavin

Like he was doing well at both ends and only took 2 penalties in 50 games. If he can continue doing well and barely take penalties thats huge.

Meanwhile I understand Durzi did fight 3 times but still the penalties taken is a bit to much for a 3rd pair guy if you catch my drift. Plus Niemela is making his presence known

My friend also brought up Hague as we do have connections with him (2017 prospect video go look it up lul) but if he doesnt want to play RD were stuck in the same boat. But honestly even if he did agree I just feel Sandin is the better guy for now and the future (even if he is a smaller guy)
