But the idea that Tom Wilson would be an extra on Team Grit with some of those cupcakes you have at RW is hilarious.
And boy, people must REALLY hate Brad Marchand not to have him there, too.
Thanks for the feedback. Marchand is an extremely tenacious and aggressive player but he wasn’t big enough to make my team. Wilson definitely should’ve made it but I felt Svechnikov is a better player.
Why must poor Jumbo be left out to dry and and lose on another cup run?!?
And I'd take some issue putting Jumbo on team grit instead of skill. He's the greatest passer of all-time in my (biased) opinion, and that takes skill as objectively one of the all-time greats in that category, statistically speaking.
I think what you're saying is that it takes a blend of skill and grit, usually skill on the top lines with gritty bottom lines, and even those gritty bottom lines need skill but I think what you're trying to say is that they need to be skilled AND heavy in the bottom lines.
Yeah I was debating whether or not Joe should be on team skill. He definitely has enough talent, arguably more than half the guys on there. However, he’s also a huge guy who racks up a ton of penalty minutes, is a beast on the forecheck and really good defensively. So I felt I should put him on Team Grit to give them more weapons.
2020 rules or 1985 rules? Allow clutching/grabbing and all sorts of now illegal checking and team grit wins. But, in today's NHL, team grit gets swept.
I remember in 2018 NHL Network ran a simulation for NHL 18 for the playoffs and NHL 18 had the Devils sweeping Tampa in the 1st round. I guess they were a year early and had the wrong team sweeping Tampa, lol.
