500 Million will get you 83 (+1/3) Jordan Staals: THE NHL 2016-2017 THREAD (INCLUDING VEGAS BABY, PITTSBURGH HANGOVER AND OFFSEASON SHENANIGANS. HOCKEY IS THE BEST)

The talent in the league is so amazing relative to 10 years ago.

I'm feeling like modern hockey is moving toward lacrosse whereas baseball is moving toward trap-era hockey

@DownGoesBrown
Random time-waster: Which NHL team could build the best six-man starting lineup of players who combined to play fewer than 200 games for it?

for the penguins i've got:

F Luc Robitaille (46 games)
F Marian Hossa (12)
F Jarome Iginla (13)
D Sergei Zubov (64)
D Tim Horton (44)
G Tomas Vokoun (20)
total 199

Flames:

F Marty St Louis (69)
F Fredrik Modin (4)
F Brett Hull (57)
D Brad Marchment (37)
D Mike Commodore (18)
G Curtis Joseph (9)

blues make a solid squad

F Wayne Gretzky (18)
F Dale Hawerchuk (66)
F Martin Havlat (2)
D Scott Stevens (78)
D Phil Housley (26)
G Martin Brodeur (7)

scratch hawerchuk and havlat for Dickie Moore (27) and Peter Stastny (23) and you get . . . six hall-of-famers

winnipeg clearly wins this with laine

vancouver is the last undefeated team in the league, just like everyone predicted

I was kind of hoping they would keep up the run of games won without holding a lead.

Shea's really let himself go

pk would never do that

the Canes won one!

i'll take this streak, even if it's the longest we'll have this season

@ArponBasu
Looks like Kurri-Gretzky-Semenko is a line for Oilers alumni. As it should be.

best start for the oilers since 1985

looking forward to all the paeans to milan lucic's leadership

http://www.hockeyfights.com/quickhits/entry/red-wings-continue-to-lead-nhl-in-fights

wings have won five straight AND have the most fighting majors in the league, even dylan larkin dropped his gloves

where's bill magill?? ;)

rip al montoya

also lol that bobrovsky had a shutout, at home, and was not one of the three stars

al montoya was a PR pick

hey, at least the pens beat the oilers

Leafs lose 7-0 THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED ALL DAY

(sorry)

bryan bickell (now with carolina) has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis

whatever

winnipeg days, vegas knights

a fitting first franchise of the trump era

he'll change the name to white knights

things are going to get unpleasant in pittsburgh

marc-andre fleury is the fucking best dude/teammate ever, and he's the franchise leader in everything for goalies, and he's just not as good as matt murray and he has a (fully deserved) no-trade clause and there's gonna be an expansion draft. so either he accepts a trade he probably doesn't want to accept or he'll become a villain

ugh

@shoffren
Patrik Laine described his GWG accordingly: "Top shelf where grandma hides the jars of jam"

take that, jimmy mod
