Pimlach Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 It took awhile but I finally reached the point of publicly saying we won’t make the playoffs this year.

Reiger, Rolston, LaFontaine, Murray, Tanking, Nolan, Disco Dan, now Botterill and Phil. Are these the guys? Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 Of the top 10 players in the NHL, how many hang their hat on physicality? I don't think a single one does. As always, there is a difference in willingness and ability to win board battles and throwing body checks. The former matters, the latter is just something that entertains. 1 Quote

So we agree? Because I totally agree. But you said Crosby hits, which is simply not true. I agree he plays a physical game by going to the net and engaging in battles along the boards. But board battles are what people are yammering about tonight, they're carrying on about checking. Quote
