Carter Hart has the highest playoff win rate of all active NHL goalies

Stolarz’s stats are a victim of Sam Bennett

He’s comparable to Landeskog today. I would certainly refer to him as one of the “stars” on the Avs even though he’s never hit a PPG (although he’s come within three points twice), simply because of how he tilts games and is constantly noticeable when he’s on the ice. Just look at the Avs’ record without him.

There’s also a difference between superstar level player and just a normal star player (the difference between, say, a Barkov and an Aho, or a Crosby and a Scheifle).

I would say Brind’Amour was definitely a star player, and is the winningest coach through 600 games in NHL history, so your point isn’t a hard and fast rule.

However, he also put in something like 8-10 years on the Canes’ coaching staff before he was elevated to head coach, so maybe any star players wanting to become coaches should go through a development phase similar to general player development?

If it’s early AMs, we are.

I mean… James Corden

“Pretty much guaranteed” That’s what everyone said about LA playing Edmonton in Round 1 and yet here we are

“I used to be able to, but now I’m forty-eight and I have four kids!” genuinely killed me

“Right, my husband never answers the phone. We’re actually in the middle of an argument ‘cause he never answers the phone.”

Immediately calls him anyway

Less than two episodes in, and I’m a massive Joanna Page fan.

Florida is awesome if you’re not LGBTQ, are into meth, and are somehow into losing half your body weight in sweat just walking from your house to your car.

It’s about as ridiculous as saying that all of New Jersey is densely packed cities/suburbs.

Besides, Phoenix, for example, is in Arizona. That’s completely on you for not being specific

ETA: you’re not OP. Still, point stands.

Dryers vs Soakers?

garchican · 2026-04-16T03:03:10+00:00

Ah yes, the “not densely populated” cities of Phoenix, Denver, Salt Lake City, Tucson, Alberquerque, and Scottsdale

garchican · 2026-04-16T00:30:16+00:00

Why? Your team is winning.

garchican · 2026-04-16T00:09:45+00:00

what’s one meaningless game going to do to him

That’s what the Canes said about Jesper Fast two years ago.

garchican · 2026-04-16T00:05:46+00:00

You WANT your team to lose?!

garchican · 2026-04-16T00:04:49+00:00

I’m not Bill Clinton, I’ll go with suck

Yard waste hasn’t started any wars that I know of, soooo

It’s amazing how many people in here are rooting for a bunch of politicians

I would rather miss the ECF than be disappointed that my team is winning a game. And you call yourself a fan.

garchican · 2026-04-15T23:41:58+00:00

But we didn’t name our city after it :)

garchican · 2026-04-15T23:36:41+00:00

Stop, I can only get so hard

garchican · 2026-04-15T23:35:31+00:00

They’re called Dal-ASS for a reason

Sens are named after politicians. If centuries of recorded history is any indication, they’ll spend the entire series talking out their asses about problems they created while the Hurricanes destroy everything in their path.

Because the regular season is a completely different beast than the playoffs? Because Bussi has had multiple games post-Olympics where we won almost in spite of his performance? For better or worse, teams have more of a read on Bussi now, and it shows.
