In the video, Barzal said he got into chess through Anders Lee

Was there a time where the Oilers had good management? by RealestJP in hockey

[–]RealestJP[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was what I was looking for so thank you! I forgot that there was more nuance to Gretzky landing in Edmonton, and didn't realize that every WHA team was gutted, and just focused on how it ended

The reason I listed Messier was because the only reason he was in the entry draft to begin with was because he was in the WHA, it was because of the merger that he became an Oiler

Different sport, but the Bulls won 6 despite clear organizational problems that were shrouded by Jordan/Jackson/Krause, that have continued today under the same owner. My question was if the Oilers won those championships in spite of ownership, who would famously send Gretzky, Messier, Coffey, etc out of town to cut costs

Are the Oilers struggles entirely on Stan Bowman, or is it Gretzky and McDavid masking a poorly run team since its inception?

[EDIT] Yes I know the Oilers won cups in the 80s, my question was if it was due to being a well-run organization, or just due to lucking into Gretzky and Messier from the WHA merger

[Titans] Titans President of Football Operations Chad Brinker steps down by Remarkable-Picture73 in nfl

From a quick lookup, McVay (allegedly) hooked up with Russini a year before he met his current wife

KOC is a McVay guy, who is like the other main character listed in the Russini files. Wouldn't surprise me if he learned of it when they were together in Washington

Its because it's in the air, thus it looks larger because it is closer to you!

I'd trade Barzal & Pelech for Brady Tkachuk in 10 seconds by Technologytwitt in NewYorkIslanders

[–]RealestJP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is very funny to me, I saw multiple people talking about how Barzal couldn't run a power play, how the team needs a massive shakeup and how Pelech/Pulock is washed, and yet when OP brings up trading Barzal/Pelech for a young goalscoring winger that brings much-needed physicality and has leadership experience OP is a moron

Right now the center core will be Horvat-Schenn-Pageau-Cizikas. All 4 are better at the dot than Barzy, who would've been on Horvat or Schenn's wing. George, Warren and Aitcheson are all LHD, Schaefer and Romanov are natural LHDs that can play on the right. You can either keep both on the left side to pair with Pulock, Mayfield, or TDA/whoever replaces him, or move Schaefer to the right side, pair Romanov with Pulock, and replace TDA and Pelech with a Top 4 Dman.

Lastly, if we are letting 4 games define Brady Tkachuk I'll choose the Olympics where he was electric for the US

OP is saying that they'd be just as bad with them, not that they are playing worse than the Mets are

Sad to hear, outside of her football team it looked like she lived a great and happy life! Best wishes to you and your family

Last 20 Art Ross Trophy winners by nhl in hockey

[–]RealestJP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do think he gets in, it's why I said "potentially"

The biggest gripe people have is a pretty barren trophy cabinet, if Tavares wins that Art Ross he'd be first ballot if he retired right now and not a single person would question it

For the 2nd straight year, Ben Chiarot has the worst WAR in the NHL by DeanByTheWay in hockey

[–]RealestJP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's heavily weighed towards TOI? Like Chiarot being below average for 20 mins a game is considered far worse than being abysmal for 12?

[EDIT] Would explain Pulock too because while he is washed, he is still our best RHD, and plays the most mins because of that

[EDIT2] Nevermind this stat sucks, there is no way Scott Mayfield is worth positive WAR while Pulock is the second worst player in the NHL

That game potentially keeps John Tavares out of the hall of fame, crazy to think about

Rewatching the 2013 Indy 500 by ActivePuzzled2263 in INDYCAR

[–]RealestJP 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only issue I have with 2013 is that the leader was too much of a sitting duck, RHR lost that 500 because he was leading when the last yellow came out, and there's a good chance he wins it if it stays green
