Nothing like the old days were players played the entire year togather or even a few seasons.
Remember the GAG line, Jean Ratelle, Vic Hadfield and Rod Gilbert, they accomplished something I don't believe will happen again. Do you know ?
After all tomorrow is another day... |

all HOLMSTROM does is stand in front of the net and hope his skilled defense can get it through to the net Smyth works his ass off fighting for position,tipping pucks,puck retrieval he does everything on the Oilers powerplay other than take one-timers from the point |

Atlanta's top like is just goal scorers and all they want to do is score so there isnt any passing involved
GO WINGS GO!!!! |

Quite the statement from a Guest who has no reputation or established opinion about anything on this site...
I make note of it because I don't understand, as a big fan of San Jose but most importantly as a fan of hockey, how one of, if not the most talented team in the league constantly gets disregarded. This team, because of its lack of exposure, gets completely ignored. It isn't just San Jose either, most people forget about Nashville when talking about the top teams in the league, who by the way are 3rd in the NHL for points and have a comparable record to that of Anaheim's when factoring in GP.
I can understand how Nashville gets disregarded because not only are they in a small, secluded market but they don't have any flashy players on their team (with maybe the exception of Kariya). So it makes sense that they aren't in this poll, but anything about talent or balanced attack or best overall team, Nashville should be considered for, no questions asked. But for San Jose to be ignored? I don't understand. Not only did they boast the top two offensive awards last year (Art Ross - Thornton, Rocket Richard - Cheechoo), they also played a Canadian team in the playoffs. This, if nothing else, should have gained them exposure to hockey fans north of the border who otherwise may not often hear about SJ. I mean how can you not include a team whose top line includes those two players mentioned above? Does that make sense to anyone?
So basically to respond in a few sentences, I'm getting annoyed when people don't include San Jose in polls where they at least deserve recognition, if not deserve to win. If nothing else, I just want people to notice this team and get used to the fact that they are, and will be for many years to come, a DOMINANT force in the NHL. Don't add them to a poll to appease me, make use of your common sense and at least consider this team which is more than well-deserving of any recognition it does get. |

Heatley and Alfredsson have been doing better since Spezza's injury |

This is not in the right forum, it should be in User Polls. Changed.
How can you not include San Jose? As long as they've been healthy, it's been Michalek-Thornton-Cheechoo. If this is based on talent and not just stats, this line definitely challenges any other for the best. |
