Definitely time to re-evaluate my self-indulgent openings. Could have definitely cut the article down like 500 words. Thought it was funny, maybe it wasn't or maybe I just need to be more concise. In any case, my apologies for the length. - steve laidlaw Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:28:43 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17308 Good article Steve but man the length of it was daunting. I had to return four times to finish it. I love the Kovy vs Nash cagematch though! - Dean Youngblood Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:47:40 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17307 The opening of this article is moronic. It really ruins an otherwise good player analysis. - Ryan Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:34:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17305 Interesting comparison. Too bad it's wrapped in a crappy article. - David Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:04:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17301 Awful lot of thought put into this. Great insight. Much appreciated. - shaun b Wed, 26 Oct 2011 11:01:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17300 It's satire. SATIRE! - steve laidlaw Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:05:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17299 aleco83 - I think over time you will see these articles transitioning towards the inclusion of hits as a category but most of my leagues are still the standard 6x4 setup with PIM as the only source of meat and potatoes. If you were to switch out PIM for hits that would give Nash the advantage in a second category and a 2-1 lead in this Cage Match but I'd still be skeptical about putting him head and shoulders over Kovalchuk. Man not Puck - I don't think anyone questions Nash's defensive ability any more. Hitchcock really worked him over and turned him into one of the better two-way forwards in the league. The real issue for Nash is that his team still sucks so it's not like his plus/minus is going to be good, he just won't be the liability in this category that Kovalchuk is. - steve laidlaw Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:59:23 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17298 Couldn't help feeling the tone in the first third of the article. Still, one of the best comparisons I've read yet. What Rick Nash fan doesn't feel some pain right now though? Guy puts the team on his shoulders almost every night. Must get heavy after a while. - Man not Puck Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:58:22 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17297 I think Nash is a much better defensive player than people give him credit for. This is why he will always own the +/- category over Kovalchuk. - Man not Puck Wed, 26 Oct 2011 09:51:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4054-rick-nash-vs-ilya-kovalchuk#comment-17295 With the intro of Hits as a category in many leagues and its growing prominence it seems the edge would go to Nash. - aleco83 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 08:37:33 +0100
