Should Empty Net Points Carry The Same Weight in the NHL?
When it comes to the NHL points race, opinions vary widely on who deserves the prestigious Hart Trophy. One name frequently brought into the conversation is Nikita Kucherov. However, some argue that his high point total is inflated by empty net points, raising doubts about his candidacy for the MVP award.
If Manchester City win the back-to-back treble, are they the greatest team of all time?!
The prospect of Manchester City securing back-to-back trebles has sparked mixed reactions among football enthusiasts. While some admire their prowess, others are wary of witnessing the same team dominate once again. The notion of a triple triumph in consecutive seasons is undeniably impressive, yet it poses questions about the competitiveness of the league.
Who Wins the Greatest Hart Trophy Race of All-Time?
In the world of hockey, achieving a milestone is often synonymous with greatness. Matthew, with his exceptional talent, has rewritten the rules of possibility. The recent buzz revolves around his astonishing feat of scoring 70 goals, a milestone that seemed implausible until now.
Sofyan Amrabat or Kalvin Phillips, who has been the bigger disappointment?
