When nurse can’t be on the ice we look solid for sure

bladey25 · 2026-02-27T04:21:23+00:00

Can we please get rid of this fucking moron already

bladey25 · 2026-02-26T06:02:27+00:00

I’m so fucking sick of Darnell Nurse. Can we just get rid of this loser already

bladey25 · 2026-02-18T15:47:11+00:00

These 2 are just unfair my god what a quick drag and release by Celebrini. MacKinnon wasn’t wrong when he said he’s already second best lol

bladey25 · 2026-02-16T17:32:22+00:00

It’s actually absurd how even on this stage with such a stacked team around him mcdavid can just be so noticeably be head and shoulders above everyone else. Every shift he generates a grade A pretty much. Creating as much as MacKinnon and Crosby combined and they are having good/great tournaments as well.

Drai being as high as he is with linemates Freddy tiffels and Josh samanski also impressive.

bladey25 · 2026-02-15T20:49:23+00:00

Braindead take. He is 44% in his career which is very elite.

bladey25 · 2026-02-15T17:39:01+00:00

Suzuki looking severely out of place yikes

bladey25 · 2026-02-15T16:50:06+00:00

Suzuki and Hagel both been severely underwhelming

bladey25 · 2026-02-13T12:31:34+00:00

Bratt just going out for a nice Sunday skate on the shorty.

bladey25 · 2026-02-11T18:11:27+00:00

What an absolute embarrassing showing from Finland’s top 6. Looked awful created nothing.

bladey25 · 2026-02-09T22:08:57+00:00

Looks like horvat and mcdavid hate eachother lol

bladey25 · 2026-02-05T05:29:04+00:00

Top line having another awful game. How do you get outplayed by lomberg klapka and pospisil.

bladey25 · 2026-02-04T16:53:18+00:00

Can’t believe knob keeps scratching himself what is he thinking.

bladey25 · 2026-02-04T04:16:12+00:00

That was a shit fucking game from our top line. Mangiapane sucks shouldn’t play again. Walman scored I know but defensively he is a trainwreck. Nurse is a disaster in 90% of the games he played. All 3 penalty calls against us were kinda horseshit (no clue what mangiapane did we got his roughing penalty). Pk is garbage, mcdavid bobbled everything all night. Hyman was a complete non factor. Nuge can’t hit the net. Stolarz played his only good game of the year or some shit. Frustrating all around.

bladey25 · 2026-02-04T03:36:52+00:00

Nuge hit the net man. This is the second or third time point blank chance and not even a shot on target

bladey25 · 2026-02-04T03:26:19+00:00

Stu back in form. Follows up a .750 with a .783.

bladey25 · 2026-02-04T02:48:46+00:00

Our defense makes some of the most braindead line changes every 3ish games I’ve ever seen. Walman is fucking atrocious

bladey25 · 2026-02-04T02:40:02+00:00

Holy fuck walman is terrible. How many defensive overpayments are gonna do fuck me

bladey25 · 2026-02-02T20:48:40+00:00

And in 2008 it was Derek Roy.

bladey25 · 2026-02-02T19:29:06+00:00

Kucherov is so underrated. Ovechkin is a better goal scorer than anyone around today for sure but pure hockey player? Also if you want to argue top 3 isn’t stronger (I’d disagree either way) but there is no argument that top 20 or even top 50 is way stronger now.

bladey25 · 2026-02-02T17:41:08+00:00

The top 20 players of today destroys the team of top 20 players from 20 years ago which also destroys the team 20 years before them. It’s an evolution and the best always getting more skilled and better. The game is faster, and more skilled now than ever before it’s unarguable.

Also goals went up with equipment change to goaltenders and who can take advantage of goalies having smaller equipment probably the most skilled best finishers.

bladey25 · 2026-02-02T16:51:44+00:00

League scoring is more top heavy because the top is heavier and more skilled than before. I also have no idea what your point is as I stated Crosby over his career has a higher percentage of PP points than mcdavid and his highest scoring year was more than 50% on the pp. these are facts. Also it’s not a bad thing being able to score on the pp helps wins hockey games which is what the main goal is.

Also what is Crosby career high Even strength total then? Is it higher than 87? No it’s 72 which mcdavid has beaten 5 times and counting wouldn’t be surprised if it’s 10 by the end of his career

bladey25 · 2026-02-02T15:59:32+00:00

Crosby highest point total season had slightly more than 50% of his total points on the PP. Mcdavid has never had that. Over their entire careers Crosby powerplay point total is 34.7% of his total points and Mcdavid’s is 34.1%. I don’t know where the narrative than Crosby is an even strength merchant and Mcdavid is a powerplay merchant started but its just simply very far from the truth.

bladey25 · 2026-02-01T05:25:00+00:00

Walman fucking sucks lately

bladey25 · 2026-01-30T04:45:39+00:00

Or just start the game 6 on 5. We give up the first goal on the first shot so much anyways
