I mean he’s played 22 career games. There are 15 teams he’s never played lol, it’s not that special. Crosby scoring his first ever goal in the United Center last night was surprising though

Osgood should make it.
Barrasso too.
And Vernon.</div></div>
2 cups + Smythe for a goalie doesn’t mean much, we’ve seen that. Barasso has 2 cups + Vezina + Jennings + Calder, Vernon has 2 cups + Jennings + Smythe, Osgood has 3 cups + 2 Jennings. All those guys did what Quick has done long before he was around and they’re still waiting. Maybe if he reaches 450 wins, but CuJo did that too, and isn’t in. Olympic silver means nothing when he didn’t even play in that Olympics lol, the USA didn’t medal when he was the starter. Quick’s 4th or 5th in line for fringe goalies, behind the locks like Lundqvist and Price. Hell, there’s even a solid argument for Rask over Quick.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McGruff</b></div><div>Along those same lines...If the NHL stopped today, what current roster players go to the HHOF?

<strong>Locks</strong>:
Ovi
Sid
Malkin
Bergeron
Vasi
Kuch
Stamkos
Hedman
Perry
Price
Kopi
Doughty
Quick
E Staal
Kane
Toews
MAF (edit)

<strong>Bubbles</strong>:
LeTang
Marchand
Phil
McDavid
Tavares
Giroux (edit)
Backstrom (edit)</div></div>
If Osgood, Barasso, and Vernon aren’t in, Quick isn’t close imo. McDavid (arguably the most talented player of all time) and Kessel (purely because hockey people respect the iron man streak above most records) are way closer to locks than Eric Staal or Kopitar (think those guys might be stuck in the hall of very good). I also think injuries prevented Backstrom from reaching even a fringe case. No individual hardware, not a lot of goals, only barely a thousand points, and only the 3rd best forward on a single cup victory.

Thread: Betting Discussion Thread #1 - A New Hope
Anybody noticed any trends so far this year? Feel free to share the love lol

I've noticed one big one, and it's that the Dallas Stars top line is MONEY. A 3-leg parlay consisting of Jason Robertson point + Roope Hintz point + Joe Pavelski point typically gives odds around +190 to +200, meaning you need it to hit slightly more than once every three games to be profitable. It's hit 9 times in 15 games so far this year, and I'm personally 3/3 on betting it. If you're not as big of a fan of Pavelski and prefer to just bet the kids, a 2-leg parlay consisting of Jason Robertson point + Roope Hintz point typically pays out around +115 I think (I've never actually bet this personally, but I vaguely remember seeing this number show up temporarily when building the 3-leg parlay lol, and I think it makes sense, because Pavelski isn't + money to get a point individually), meaning you need this to only hit slightly less than once every two games to be profitable. It's hit 12 times in 15 games lol.

Also, the opposing team to win by 3 or more has hit 3/5 times when Felix Sandstrom is in net (he has one win, and one loss by a single goal). The Flyers hot start is entirely because of Carter Hart lol. I don't think Sandstrom is a great goalie, but it's probably still too early to tell if this is a trend or not. If you don't want to go -2.5 for the opponent, then at least it might give you a little more confidence in betting on the opposing PL (also 3/5) or opposing ML (4/5).

Opposing team O3.5 goals has hit in:
9/11 starts for Gibson (only one needing an empty netter, but those count too)
5/7 starts for Merzlikins (and he gave up 3 goals in each of the other 2 games lol)
4/6 starts for Nedeljkovic
6/10 starts for Campbell
1/1 starts for Murray (lol)
7/10 starts for Demko
1/1 starts for Daccord (lol)
3/3 starts for Greiss (one needing an empty netter)

Game total O6.5 has hit in:
8/10 starts for Campbell
5/6 starts for Petersen
