blackhawks are a disgraceful organization

its not like toews would be asking for like 8 mill if he came back, but you don't even give him that option.

All I can every think of when I hear his name is how dumbass Candian writers and voters said he was better than Malkin. :mjlol: .


Probably the most overrated player of the past 15 years.

Malkin should have been traded a few years ago. Crosby, it's hard to say he should be traded because he's a legendary figure but if they go that route he's still worth quite a bit, he just finished 15th in scoring.


nhl is a young mans game, both the caps and pens have big money tied up in old folks past thier prime

next year caps are paying a 38 year old ovechkin 12.5 mill, a 36 year old one leg backstrom 10 milll, a 34 year old john carlson 6 mill, a 32 year old kuznetsov 8 mill, a 37 year old oshie 6 mill, a 34 year old keumper 6 mill

out of the top 20 players in the nhl by points only 3 guys are over 30 - karlsson, crosby and panari
by goals top 20 only ovechkin is over 30

ESPN still needs to do more promotion for hockey. There's no reason Connor McDavid isn't getting multiple looks on the front page of ESPN.com. What he's doing is fukking incredible and anybody who's into professional sports should know his name and what he's doing.

The Bruins are having an all-time season. There's a bunch of American stars breaking out like the Hughes brothers, Jason Robertson and Tage Thompson not to mention last year's MVP, Auston Matthews.

It's not gonna happen overnight but I feel they're putting in the bare minimum effort.

Both ESPN and TNT need to work on their scheduling too. There were WAY too many games with Chicago, Detroit, Anaheim, San Jose, Arizona, Philly and Columbus.

those ratings are atrocious

And yeah espn is blowing it, this season you got like 5 guys with 50 plus goals, two guys with 60 plus goals, 12 guys with over 100 points. And all these guys are under 30
