TOP5 Picks - Blues, Islanders, Flyers, Nashville, Vancouver
Found this list on Reddit.
It's amazing how the hockey world cares so much about TOP5 picks, and wants to see the data, but here in BluesTalk, it's a dirty topic.
If you want to find the best teams, just browse the list. The best teams are the ones with the most TOP5 picks on the roster. The teams with the fewest number of TOP5 picks include the following. Anybody see a trend?
Detroit
NY Islanders
St Louis Blues
Philadelphia Flyers
Nashville
Vancouver
Minnesota
Cheers. I hope that you have a TOP5 day.

Exactly this!
2,112 years ago, a friend invited us to a lasagne dinner, but it was made with tofu and cottage cheese.
Worse, no beer in the house!

Re: TOP5 Picks - Blues, Islanders, Flyers, Nashville, Vancouver
We could organize against this. Sorry that you're lonely but it's time to attack your loneliness with some group discipline.
We'd have a Two Tell Off rule.
Two (2) people get to tell you off in each of your daily morning "Find Me A Friend" threads, and ONLY those two posters can engage with you in that thread, and they can quit any time they want.
Once other people have seen there are two insults posted, they back off and wait for the next day if they need to do it. This is the hard part and you're probably right it won't hold. People need to insult you and that's the one advantage you have on everyone, it's a need you're confident will be fulfilled. Your time is cheap and people hating you is still them spending time with you which is all a lonely person like you needs.
If we organized just a little we could make it tough for you. The first two people might insult you once and never again so the thread would die out on page 1 unless you keep ranting at them and filling up the thread with your own posts only.
