KHL is so overrated. They call it 2nd best league but it’s not even close. The AHL is the 2nd best league in world by far.

I bet AHL would win. Not too long ago the AHL All Stars whipped up on a Sweden team. Look at Kevin Dallman, a guy who played D for the Blues. He goes to Russia and sets some scoring records over there but didn’t come anywhere close to putting up those kinds of numbers in AHL.BluesSK wrote: Sat Nov 28, 2020 3:41 pmI'd like to see a KHL/AHL champions series every season.BillP. wrote: Sat Nov 28, 2020 1:07 pm Want to see how overrated the KHL is?

That ASG was in 2014 vs. Färjestad BK of Sweden's top tier pro league, the SHL. The Färjestad team that year finished in the lower half of the SHL standings that season, yet they played pretty competitively vs. the AHL All-Stars despite the 7-2 final score. The SHL is consistently rated as the #4 pro hockey league in the world (behind NHL & KHL & AHL) despite the Swedish team rosters being heavily loaded with young prospects. A few SHL prospects were high picks in recent NHL drafts.BillP. wrote: Sat Nov 28, 2020 4:09 pmI bet AHL would win.

Marsblade's brand got a big boost from a recent widely reported investment from Auston Matthews, following buy-in from Henrik Zetterberg & Niklass Kronwall. If you comb the HFBoards postings for "Marsblade" you'll find that the reviews among amateurs don't run nearly as positively as the hype from the pros. It seems more like a "trending" phenomenon to me than true value.BillP. wrote: Sun Nov 29, 2020 9:34 amAnyone else see this commercial for Marsblade Roller Skates? Pretty cool.
Apparently they have ice skates used by NHL players and they claim to be superior. How popular they are in NHL, I don’t know.

If you wanna know something about in-line skates, just ask @Turk Sanderson. He was an historical consultant for this article.T.C. wrote: Mon Nov 30, 2020 6:58 amthose aren't roller skates, those are roller blades. big difference.
No league gets off on sabotaging itself quite like the NHL. Some like to blame Bettman, but its been doing this for over 100 years.
NHL — No Hockey League

it should have been canceled long ago, as with the rest of last season. trying to do it now, after you scrambled to agree to something, is completely fucked up. i hope they do this, though - it should piss owners and players off enough to maybe finally get rid of bettman. but if they do this, expect some teams to no longer exist when/if the NHL returns.
That seems like 10 years ago, and yet it was the last full season.Dread_Pirate_Westley wrote: Wed Dec 02, 2020 9:57 amThank God the Blues got their cup in alreadyT.C. wrote: Wed Dec 02, 2020 7:27 amare they really a five-toed body part?

The players need to not kill the golden goose...even if the goose is a bunch of rich old idiots.
