Murphy averages 100+ hits a season I think Toccett would love him as he would be third in hits amongst Canucks with 65 hits currently

Also blocks shots and is not afraid to fight


I guess I've always seen him as more of a finesse defender/offensive type guy. At least in the games I've watched I've never noticed him being that physical. Just saw a twitter post that showed him in the top 5 for GRIT. Guess I need to change my viewpoint on him.

I have 1 and it's for knowing my cap situation in a Gm Game next season so I'm probably not the target audience of this question but a "normal" amount I would say is 5-10 unpublished ACGM's

I am closer to csick…I use them as notes (watchlists, prospect lists, guys who were traded as prospects, etc).

I wish there was a way to minimize or drop them in a folder. Kind of a pain to scroll down each time.

Difference between this and the Ohtani fiasco was that credible reporters believed they had verifiable information that he was on the plane and weren't being taken for a rout. This is just because some bozo Flyers writer didn't do the bare minimum and verify an Instagram description.

While Nolan Patrick isn't officially retired, I do believe it's better if he was. I don't believe there is an advantageous path to continue to try and play hockey with his concussion issues. Better idea to pivot to coaching/training instead, especially at 25. Could end up behind an NHL bench soon if all goes well.

I don’t think you’ll have to wait long for this to be agreed upon by *everybody. Maybe next season.

I like his patience versus McDavids direct style of play. I think it will make him even more dangerous than McDavid. Mcdavid rightfully plays Superman hockey a looooot. Because he can. But that is not always the highest chance of scoring.

Bedard is less predictable. The point that he is a threat is much more of the ice. Nobody expects a shot from a perimeter McDavid to go in, and mcdavid often forgoes passing options in favor of direct action to the net. I think within 3 years this conversation will begin, and during his prime years it will be clickbait for bored authors to write the article comparing the two. The wise author writes it today.

My guess is Johansen, Drouin, Colton, Wood? New guys, guys thinking theyre playing well (stats) but not following their system, his example was 15 guys playing properly and the rest aren’t. Johansen and Drouin I think by names you’d expect them, then colton and wood both getting paid for the first time with term maybe that plays a factor

Or maybe Mack and Rant? 2 guys that could feel entitled to more ice...

Or maybe a young kid like Byram?

True I didn't consider established guys too but Mack's been going crazy this year and rant is the only one who scored that game. iunno

Nah its just the classic us vs. lottery team syndrome

Whole team caught it so expect nothing good as so far defense is optional. Goal 1 yes on him but 2 and 3 avoidable with proper defense

Unfortunately not even a Matthews hatty can save em as this team dont got the bully mentality
