Wayne Gretzky scored more points than anyone in the history of the sport without ever scoring a single goal.

Its an un-toppable stat. In all of sports!

Different positions.
 
So, any predictions for tonight? I’ll say 3-2 Bruins.

“...unlike myself. One day, when my team plays in the Stanley Cup Final, myself and our fanbase will be very reasonable and treat the hardworking referees with the utmost respect.”

This is weak trolling even for you.

Gretzky and babe Ruth are so far ahead of their peers that it’s ridiculous. Easily the 2 best athletes of all time.

There shouldn’t even be a conversation for either one really.

I don't think I would consider putting a baseball player in the conversation of best athlete of all time. Just as I wouldn't consider a golfer or race car driver.

If we're gonna get strict about these things, then the only folks who'd likely qualify are Olympic decathletes.

No but speed, strength, and leaping ability are paramount to most people when it comes to athleticism.

Every one of those Olympic decathletes would play basketball if they could.

Meh. If I'm on a team with James Harden (or going back in time, AI), I don't think I'd be having much fun. I want to shoot too...

fwiw, I was tall and fairly athletic. Not an Olympic decathlete. But I never liked actually playing basketball. Too easy to score points.

I meant nobody would be doing the decathlon if they could make 12 million per year playing basketball instead.
 
We can argue about athleticism between sports, but I think there's no argument that the most taxing announcing job in sports is play-by-play guy in hockey.

Mike Emerick is amazing!
 
How annoying is it to fans of other teams that Marchand is so good?

Emerick is a Pirates fan and pretty much every year he stops in the booth to do an inning of baseball. Must be like a beach vacation for him.

Bo Jackson would be on that list. Jim Brown too. But it’s irrelevant. If Athlete as we ,eat it means performer in a sport, much of it is mental and much is vision, hand eye coordination etc. Tom Brady isn’t half the “athlete” Michael Vick was, but he’s a much better QB.
 
Bruins held the edge in play in the first period. As predicted, the refs tightening up a bit, and the play has more flow. More speed. St. Louis can play that game, guys like O’Reilly and Tarsnaov can move, but it favors the Bruins on the whole. Boston Defenseman in particular are better pick movers and skaters.

I'd love to hear him call baseball
 
Where was the roughing call on that? Such nonsense.
 
Just looked up O’Reilly’s contract. Blues traded for him and have him for 4 more years. He’d be an ideal Bruin. Damn.

St Louis looks dumb celebrating early now. Kind of wish I got a game 7 ticket.
 
So, my thug comment might apply after all. What poor sportsmanship from a low class team. Cross checking with intent to injure when the game is over.
