Trivia answers: M. Pacioretty
Anton Lundell FTW!
What about Stamkos? Has a physical side, can play Center. If Preds retain 25% he would come in at 6 millions.
He had -35, that would certainly be a concern.
Anybody watch him this season?
He deserved a high standing. But well done.
The big issue is you have built a game around a cup competition where the best team in the league isn't heralded above the best team in a knockout competition. Then to add to that the rules aren't the same, which is frankly ridiculous. Imagine 'soccer' teams like Liverpool playing with one set of rules in the League and then in the FA cup all of a sudden two footed challenges are maybe allowed, sometimes. I've lost interest in non league NHL games this year because it's obvious how you can influence the results of games if no one really knows where the line is from one play to the next.
GWG was Max Pacioretty
How in the world would Nick Suzuki get a first place Hart trophy vote? That's ridiculous and a partisan vote from some montreal reporter who shouldn't be allowed to vote any more.
Montembault third best goalie in the league? The players aren't in the conversation. This is ridiculous fan service by the voters. Ridiculous and a little embarrassing. He got a first place vote and Connor McDavid didn't. They got the same amount of points.
Tied with Nick.
Minnesota. This is nuts. One first and one second.
