Every now and again I go back to this passage from Chesterton and it just gets better each time

If you do not follow @Oil_Drop, I recommend him.
When other Oilers fans go crazy, Rob Soria is sane and insightful.
Most view Gretzky's 200 pt yrs as the tip of the iceberg.
If you watched him play, you could argue, his all around game was at its best from '86-'87, the Canada Cup & '87-'88.
IMO, we're seeing something similar from McDavid. Reaching another level later in his career #Oilers

Best hockey fight I've seen in a few years. Trent Frederic got my attention with those uppercuts.
Reminded me of someone...

This was a fantsstic piece. I am always shocked Ash doesn't have a big following, cause he should.
Every public quality-of-competition metric counts those as the same shift. They stop at the forwards.
A shift against two elite forwards with a scrambled third pair behind them.
A shift against a middle-six line with a shutdown pair behind it.
Why?
I ran it based on 5 man units, full article here:
