Thread: 2021-2022 NHL Discussion Thread #9 - Happy Holidays
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Question to everyone here

Who is the best player in the world outside NHL right now? Was having a discussion with my brother about the issue tonight, and I promised to ask some feedback from some other people watching hockey (you guys basically lol).

When Kaprizov was playing in KHL he was the easy answer but now we're in a bit of a pickle as we haven't really reached any kind of consensus on this matter. Is the best one even playing in KHL, or perhaps in juniors or possibly in University or something like that? Maybe in Switzerland.

Throw me some ideas about the issue. I'm positive we could figure out better names than Vadim Shipachyov.

Additional note: anyone answering Blake Comeau to this question deserves to have wet socks on them for the rest of the Christmas week lol</div></div>

Thread: 502021/2022 NHL Season Discussion Thread - #8
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Alfie11</b></div><div>The “NHL Season” has turned into a game of who doesn’t have covid. It’s natural that that is the main topic of discussion, because that’s literally all there is to discuss right now. It’s the 20 biggest news items of every day. Also, covid shouldn’t be political. It’s science, not something you can take sides on.</div></div>

Yes and no. You can’t disagree about the science, but you can disagree about how the science is interpreted which I think is what causes issues. I like to imagine similarly to an issue like BLM. It isn’t inherently political but it has become political. Probably just both topics should be shied away from, just thought I’d chime in a little bit
