2009-2010 Blackhawks Lord Stanley Bonertime Thread

[Gil Gunderson]

Can someone try to convince me that Hossa is not on the 5 best players in the NHL?  Especially with how good he is on defence?

Intrepid Readers: Alex Ovechkin, Henrik Lundqvist, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Pavel Datsyuk

Where do we sign?

Ovechkin, fine.  Malkin, OK.

The other three?  Is Crosby really that good on defence; or does his offence make up for it?  Datsyuk?  Really?

I'll need CT to back up your Lundqvist love.

I'm really asking, I don't know.

So, fine.  6th best?

Top 10, until Toews bumps him off.

Good enough for me.  Man, he's awesome.

Congrats Fork on pissing in Oleg's Cheerios. He's here to spread some joy about Marian Hossa's excellence you just pooped in his lunchbox.

We get enough Malkin and Crosby talk from the Dope in Hyde Park. Knock it off.

Hey Oleg: HOSSA RULES!

GEAUX HAWKS!!!!!

Thanks, Slak.  Hossa does indeed rule.  I was trying to quantify it.  I always knew he was a point-per-game player, but I had no idea he was so damn good on defence.

What I lack in overall hilarity I make up for in integrity. Sorry.

Right now, the entire Hawks team is a awesome sundae made with awesome ice cream, awesome syrup and a side car of awsome.

Goalies aren't players.  They're something else entirely.

This.  Because I'd also take Luongo, Brodeur, and maybe Fleurry somewhere in that set of players.

Datsyuk is probably the best two-way forward in the game--he's the better version of Hossa.  Crosby backchecks and plays defense better than anyone else on that list except for Datsyuk.

But if you're talking strictly forwards, Hossa is a top 5 forward in the league.  Ovechkin, Crosby, Datsyuk, Malkin, Hossa is how I'd rank them.

[Slaky]

Thanks Fork. You're a dick.

Thanks Fork. You're a dick.

The more I think about it, the more I think I'd take Zetterberg over Malkin.

To the tune of Roller Coaster:

Marion Hossa OOH OOH OOH

I don't think Chris Osgood will be using this game as Exhibit A in his next "I'm a Hall of Fame Goaltender" stump speech.

The way the Hawks play in the United Center (especially with matchup-happy QStache), I'm not sure any team would be happy facing them in a 7 game series without home ice.

A stat about the number of President's Trophies being cashed into Stanley Cups since 1994 and the number of playoff games I've watched start to finish since then being roughly equal. And Go HAWWWWWWWKS!!!!
