The argument was whether or not the Blues (along with CHI, LAK, ANA, SJS, MIN) were better than all of the East (and everyone knows that Boston is the class of the East).

The Blues need to win in the playoffs.

Boston has proven that they can.

Are we arguing who is most likely to win the Cup or who is a better team? They're two different questions. Put STL in the Atlantic division and I think they're #1 with a bullet.

Winning in the playoffs defines who is a better team. Intangibles matter.

Would you bet on the Blues over the Bruins in a 7 game series?

I wouldn't.


Plus... and I'm a Badger fan, but... Rask > Elliott.

I don't disagree but we're stuck with it. I voted for the name I wanted but my choice lost.

The Minnesota North Stars was the finest name of any expansion team in major sports history. They also had the coolest sweaters of any expansion team.

If this world had any justice (spoiler: it doesn't), Dallas would have taken the name "Lone Stars" and the new Minny franchise would have been re-christened with the old name.

Also: drop the red; it's ugly with the green, and the green is lovely.

Yeah, too bad they didn't have the same deal as the Browns got.

Agreed that the red needs to go - looks like Christmas and agree that the pseudo-throwbacks are sweet.

Unfortunately the North Stars left before cities were smart enough to insist that their name stay there like the Browns did.

It doesn't though. It could determine who is more successful, but not who is better.
If teams played identical schedules, the Presidents' trophy might determine better teams, but they don't.

I won't argue with you about Rask and Elliott.

How many years ago did the NHL make the away game/dark jerseys the home jerseys? Think they'll go back to home whites?
 
Re: NHL 2015 - Trouble Bruin! Ranger Leaf jumped the King Shark! Just Ducky!

The Wings are well on their way to 82-0!

On the topic of jerseys, the Wings have been doing five or so home games a year with white jerseys, and I don't bat an eye with that. But when they play on the road and wear red now it throws me off a little.

Clearly Colorado want a new early pick to add to MacKinnon. Yowch.

Varlamov must be out to prove the doubters right.
