The world is on pause, and so we find ourselves with time at last to ponder the big questions. By overwhelming popular demand, here comes Not Up For Debate, our most popular series ever.
In this episode: What if the Washington Capitals were involved in Baltimore’s criminal underworld?
Nicklas Backstrom, The Greek
The power behind the power. Underestimate at your peril.
Travis Boyd, D’Angelo
Too pure for this world.
John Carlson, Avon
The king stays the king, but he is not without weaknesses.
Brenden Dillon, Stringer
He’s had a checkered past (i.e. Sharks), but he’s striving for legit success now (with the Sharks East).
Nic Dowd, Russell
Doing the hard work, regardless of appreciation.
Lars Eller, Bubs
Tbh this is a trash pick. Why did I pick this? I like Bubs, I like Lars.
Radko Gudas, Cutty
Brawler with a heart of gold.
Carl Hagelin, Tommy Carcetti
He’s up to something. No one is this handsome without an ulterior motive.
Garnet Hathaway, Burrell
Wired into power. Sometimes makes bad decisions.
Braden Holtby, Kima
The best.
Nick Jensen, Pryzbylewski
Your undeserving scapegoat, actually a crucial team player hampered only by a stylistic clash.
Michal Kempny, Daniels
Just cause he’s fit as hell.
Ilya Kovalchuk, Lester Freamon
Wizened old man with a puckish side.
Evgeny Kuznetsov, Clay Davis
Because of the cursing mostly.
Brendan Leipsic, Ziggy Sobotka
Who?
Dmitry Orlov, Wee-Bey
He’s got bodies, but he’s also got a soft side. Dima probably has fish tanks, right?
T.J. Oshie, Bodie
A sweetheart not afraid to get down to business if he has to.
Alex Ovechkin, Landsman
With a twinkle in his eye, he’s incapable of taking stuff too seriously.
Richard Panik, Frank Sobotka
He’s doing his best, dammit. Go easy on him. (Fans are Valchek, sorry. I don’t make the rules. Wait, yes, I do. You’re still Valchek.)
Ilya Samsonov, Wallace
The kind-hearted youngster coming up in a rough-and-tumble world.
Jonas Siegenthaler, Bunk
For his infinite style and charm.
Jakub Vrana, Omar
He’s coming.
Tom Wilson, McNulty
Obviously.
Though the series is called Not Up For Debate, I’m leaving the comments open. So you can compliment me. For the very good picks. Appreciate the congrats.
