Wheeler: 30/30

Kessel: 29/30 did not get a point against LAK

Malkin: 29/30 did not get a point against TBL

McDavid: 29/30 did not get a point against BUF

These are just some of the Kings players who were drafted past #5 overall: Dave Taylor, Bernie Nicholls, Luc Robitaille, Rob Blake, Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar, Jonathan Quick.

The title says it all:

Blake Coleman calls Phil Kessel fat and imitates eating hot dogs.

Never change, Pickles!

Because due to Detroit's cap problems and contract issues with Athanasiou, combined with the fact he hates his coach for giving him less ice time than he deserves, means he is available for much less than he should be. And I feel like this is the type of player that the Kings have always lacked, even when they won the two Cups. Chicago has Patrick Kane. Pittsburgh has Phil Kessel, not to mention Crosby and Malkin who are also dynamic, speedy game-breakers. The Kings have great players but more of either the two-way variety, or the power forward variety, or the two-way sniper like Carter, Toffoli, Pearson, and Gaborik minus the two-way part some nights, but they've never had an elite speedster dangler gamebreaker.

Edmonton has Mcdavid. Calgary has Gaudreau. I already mentioned Kessel and Drouin, who both recently put up Conn Smythe-worthy postseason performances, proving that that type of player can be very important and successful in the postseason, contrary to the Dean Lombardi narrative that only power forwards excel in the playoffs. Patrick Kane also won a Conn Smythe. Heck even Johnny Toews was an elite speedster dangler gamebreaker in his prime.

It is very difficult to get these players, but due only to the bad coaching in Detroit, a lucky opportunity has surfaced for Rob Blake to get one. The start to this season has been amazing, but now we find out for real if Rob Blake is really any different than Dean Lombardi.

I know this is still super early to say. But I’m bored and I keep seeing comparisons by the Wings org on FB, and Mickey and co to older Wings like Stevie and Fedorov. But they played a pretty different game than nowadays.

Lucas Raymond right now has 25 pts in 29 games played. That puts him at a .86 PPG pace, which puts him at the potential for 70-71 pts at the end of the season. So the comparables all below should be taken with a grain of salt if he slumps. Which I’m praying the Raymond train never stops.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

Mentos

(I will see myself out)

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
