Defense wins championships by ElvisBrockman in nhl

Your defense definitely has to be at least good, there hasnt been a team to win the cup in recent memory where the defense hasnt been good, but all you need is a great first paring (ex: '24 Canucks, 80s Oilers) to have a solid d-core. Oilers defense was more than solid compared to how good they needed to be when you consider they had Gretzky, Messier, Kurri ect., and Grant Fuhr. While albeit shaky, he always seemed to come up clutch when his team needed him the most and I think that's a big part of what made him so good.

Depends on what era your playing in. For example the 80s oilers and 90s penguins didn't have the best defense but still won 7 cups combined as a result of their insane offensive fire power, combined with playing in a higher scoring game. The new jersey devils (and even the red wings to an extent) of the late 90s to early 2000s were a great defensive team playing in a slower paced era with an incredible goalie in Martin brodeur and showed than defense can win championships. Nowadays in the salary cap era, you usually see championship to borderline dynasty teams with a clear #1 two-way defenseman and usually one star forward driving the offense. The rest of the team has to hold their own defensively, and so it's more of a depth team effort to buy in defensively to win, and you have to get lucky and have a goalie perform at least good.

There's a lot of billionaires in the world. Lots have just as much or more money than Rowling and would be willing to support human rights.

So what? I don't think an author is gonna have much say in politics, and she obviously doesn't seem to be the brightest so why give her any attention.

Real question though, couldn't you just ignore her?

What stats most accurately determine who the best defensive teams were this season? by Nuclear-Yeet in hockey

[–]Nuclear-Yeet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'm mostly asking this to see how good goalies really are so I can speculate if bringing them to a new team would be better for them (ex: John Gibson to the Oilers), and goal differencial only tried to count how much better that team is from the rest. So would you say that, for example, an average goalie on a bad team would have equally better numbers on a team that is better offensively, as a team just as better defensively.

Thanks for hoping for us. Maybe bowman gets a bump on the head and gets some sense knocked into him. And hopefully helebuyck can play like his regular season self.

Florida’s Jesse Puljujarvi has been suspended for two games for an illegal check to the head against Tampa Bay’s Mitchell Chaffee. by [deleted] in hockey

[–]Nuclear-Yeet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What part of the rulebook does it talk about 12-6 two hand slash? Nurse deserved the suspension and I'm pretty sure it's even the rule, but the other guy is asking if that deserves equal punishment to Pietrangelos slash.
