Back in the 70's,80's and 90's ,this is second line talent. Now I'm being told they are two of the best Hawks ever.

Cuz the average goalie in the league back then let in a lot more pucks than the average goalies do today.

Yeah, you'd have the outlier Ken Dryden or Tony Esposito who'd post numbers somewhat comparable to today's goalies--but, on average, night in night out, players 25-30-40+ years ago were facing goalies who gave up 3.5 to 5 goals a game on average.....

today, the worst goalie gives up fewer than 3.5 goals a game and the average is down around 2.25.

Im sure Yzerman is just saying those things cuz Toews is Canadian. You see the follow up stuff where he said the same things about Anze Kopitar?

Yzerman as GM or Exec Dir of Team Canada picked a young Toews to be a co-captain on the gold medal winning 2010 Olympic team, iirc.

New argument: It all boils down to looks. If Kopitar was a heart throb, he'd be viewed as the better player. Unfortunately, he looks like Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg.

You guys really think Gretzky or Phil Esposito or Bobby Hull or Dennis Savard would be scoring 27 goals or less if they were playing in their primes right now? :lol:


Hockey players have become worse over the years.

Well comparing anyone to Gretzky is probably a waste of time.

I insist that you are smarter than this. Think about how many -- or rather how few -- Europeans and Americans played in the NHL in the '80s. By casting a wider net, there are better players rounding out rosters than there have ever been. I agree that scoring is too low, but the days of Wayne Gretzky running roughshod over bum-ass L.A. Kings teams of generic hosers are over forever.

No,I'm not! Canadiens are the greatest Hockey players on earth! The league was better in the 20th Century.

You guys are all nuts. I guess SP is better in MLB than the days of Koufax,Gibson & Jenkins. Older doesn't mean better except when it is!
