Daniel Carcillo has 2 Stanley Cup rings and 3 Stanley Cup Finals appearances over the past 3 seasons while playing a grand total of 12 playoff games.

:fulloffuck:

Toews is gonna lift Bettman over his head and skate around if the cup doesn't get there soon.

Hawwkkkkksss!

Bettman declared it a dynasty, it's official

I'm happy for Chicago, they are such a good and entertaining team you can't hate!!

hurry up with the 2015/2016 thread murd0c

Since you asked I couldn't say no :accepted:

^ its a trap to get failed and ppl gonna be like "too early a$$hole!"

Maybe the next time the Canucks get 3rd overall they might have a chance at a player like Toews. Although with hindsight being 20/20, he should/would have gone 1st.

I remember that draft clearly, its not even hindsight 20/20... blues and pens drafted position that needed to be filled and not the best player available.

Erik Johnson was the consensus #1 prospect.

CSS, ISS, TSN, The Hockey News, and Red Line Report all had Erik Johnson ranked #1.

#2 was the pick that was kind of up in the air between Toews, Kessel, Staal, and Backstrom.

Were it not for some stupidity on the golf course with his friends early in his career, Erik Johnson could very well be a top defenseman in the league.

Do you understand hindsight being 20/20? You're saying at the time, they didn't choose him for that reason.

Whether or not Toews would have been a round peg in a square hole at the time, any team would be stupid to not draft him #1 if they had a time machine and an opportunity for a redo.

Kessel was ranked #1 but some how fell to #5 due to injury aka the American phenom :fuckthatshit:

What happened to Erik Johnson?

The rumour is that Johnson and his friends were playing polo with golf carts (supposedly drunk) and his golf cart ended up rolling over, crushing his leg and destroying his ACL in the process.

This was in September 2008, shortly before training camp. Johnson was coming off an impressive rookie season in which he produced 33 points.

It's always interesting to see who the captain passes the cup to first - Kimmo Timonen in this case.

But nobody can beat Sakic's action of letting Bourque hoist the cup first.

You know that's what pretty much happened. Kimmo has been in the league for 16 years and has never one a cup either. He has three second place finishes I believe in the Olympics and his only other finals appearance was with Philly when they lost to the Hawks.

So Toews just like Sakic gave the cup to the person who's been craving it for 16 years.

Toews > Sakic

one of the best moments in hockey history

Sakic didnt even hoist it

My fav hockey moment.

Props to Toews for passing it to a vet but sakic didn't bat an eye. Straight up handed it to Bourque.

not sure if srs..

its....arguable...

but.....

goddamn its Joe Fucking Sakic....

Lets return to this debate after Toews retires after 20 seasons with the Blackhawks.

See you in the Official 2035/2036 Canucks & NHL Thread :lol
