Andrew Raycroft is the perfect example of a former NHLer struggling to stay relevant.</div></div>

What an idiot. Why would he say that? Campbell has earned a few mistakes by being at times the best goalie in the world. Raycroft was barely even a competent goalie, he didn’t earn a single mistake

To bad he doesnt PK...KEEFE MAKE IT HAPPEN</div></div>

Not a good idea to have your best player blocking shots though. If he’s PK it should be last 15-20 seconds

Russian athletes aren’t launching missiles. What would be fair as far as the sports world is concerned is to do the OAR thing the Olympics do. Not banning all Russian athletes

Not to be insensitive but if I was an alien and was trying to watch the Olympics or learn about the Olympics based on advertisements, tv, news, etc I’d think the Olympics were a womens only event with the occasional mixed competition. Equality is great but I want to see some mens competitons as well

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MatthewsFan</b></div><div>14 of the 30 have come on the PP. And his 22.1% shooting percentage (SH%) is significantly higher than his 14.7% career average. Will be interesting to see if he keeps this pace up.

The Rangers are playing above their capabilities, their overall numbers are not very good. If there is a team I could see having a rough second half of the season, it’s NYR.

Not trying to take anything away from his season but a regression is certainly possible.</div></div>

Don’t get me wrong I’m a fan of analytics, but Chris Kreider just had one of the best starts to an NHL season goal scoring wise in history and nothing can take that away from him. Damn near 60 goal pace

I also particularly enjoy the argument on potential and ceiling, given that kylington is freaking older than chychrun.</div></div>

At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter, Kylington is a top pairing d-man currently, and trading two 1sts worth of assets on top of him for Chychrun is more than fair.

Really? Kylington has Chychrun level potential and you could make an argument Valimaki does as well. A calendar year ago he was the best Defensemen in the Liiga at 21

Thread: Central Division All-Stars

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>Tough to choose for DAL imo -- honestly, Holtby has probably been a bit better than Hellebuyck (but played less games). But I wouldn't really want to put Holtby over Robertson or Heiskanen -- don't think they get 2 all-stars through. But there really hasn't been another great goalie besides Saros in the Central Division this season so I guess it's Hellebuyck based on reputation.

I might consider Jones over Kane this year. And Keller over Ghostisbehere.

Really tough leaving Kadri off this list...and Rantanen...and Landeskog lol

I wonder who it will be between Tarasnko and Kyrou for STL.

This might be the only division with potentially 4 defenseman - Josi, Makar, Jones, Heiskanen.</div></div>

It’s my understanding goalies are separate from the one per team system

Could be considered, especially given the rate Jones is producing as a defensemen

Yup, it hurt my soul to leave Kadri off, tried to find a way to squeak him on but I couldn’t justify it

Keller is a fine choice as well, all-stars are usually based on points though and considering the rate Ghost is producing as a d-man I went with him

Thread: Pacific Division All-Stars

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>I'd put Quick in over Demko and try to get Miller in there (possibly at the expense of Doughty -- great season so far but less than 15 games played // but I'd keep both if you would allow that). Gio seems like an odd pick for SEA too as he hasn't been great, granted no one really has on that team. I wonder if Gourde or Eberle would be a better pick though -- Gio is the bigger name though. Stephenson is also having such a great year for VGK, but I understand going with Theodore.</div></div>

I debated it, could happen. Also debated Miller vs Hughes. Same thinking for SEA and VGK over here
