Sorry…but this is a dumb method.
How embarrassing to think you guys know the NHL and are paid to report about it. Every single "analyst" at ESPN thinks that Geno isn't good enough to even make this list? Terrible
You could already tell from the beginning of this clip that they think this is just fans/fanbases being subject and loving their own players. But honestly this is objectively the worst ranking list I think I have ever seen. Think about that for a moment. Think about the thousands and thousands of lists we have seen in passing on the internet. 25% of the internet must be some variation of list-making/ranking things. Lol this is the worst. Thank the gods it's not coming from a massive company that has a stake in the game. That would be a tough one.
Malkin was a point per game player last season
You're simply incompetent is the only reason
What's with the guy on the left's skinny neck 😂😂
Not watching this whole clip. Can anyone point me to the part where the Malkin discussion begins?
Turn the player name markers off the live games please!! 459 views in a whole day man ESPN NHL is so popular lol
Thanks for owning it Wysh. I knew there was a reason I've followed you since the Yahoo days.
next time go through the list this was awful
the nfl does this right. its not hard to go through the list
