He's just stating his opinions. And while he could have said it a lot better, that doesn't mean he should be shunned.

I'm not for mugging prospects or anything, but holding them up like they're gods of hockey is ridiculous. I don't mind when people criticize players as long as it doesn't get out of hand, or the criticism is undeserving. In the same way I don't mind people getting excited about or complementing a player who does well.

In this case, I don't think that Raymond deserves criticism, but I don't think he's been playing particularly well either. Not enough to warrant praise anyways.

This is a good thread, but attacking someone for stating an oppinion (however badly it was stated) doesn't make you much better than the 'un-original trolls'. Don't you think defending Raymond would have been a better way to deal?

Two things.

1. That was not constructive criticism of Raymond, that was just bashing, if you see the 1st page of this thread, it specifically says bashing of prospects is not allowed. If it was this thread would be horrible and filled with bourdon -> kopitar remarks and about the Canucks poor drafting history, but it's a sort of mutual understanding when people post here that criticism is fine, but not blatant insulting and bashing.

2. Defending Raymond would certainly have been better, but there's only so many times i can defend Raymond or defend the selection of White or Bourdon before i get swarmed by the throngs of idiots. I've spent far too much time defending these players only to see more and more threads questioning them come up, theres only so much 1 poster can do against hundreds who have it out for our prospects no matter what.

It appears insulting posters rather than trying to reason with them works MUCH better, and until that changes, i won't change my approach.

Follow it on USCHO's forum, theres a score update sub forum

Don't have your hopes up in Patrick White going on a tear this season and become an offensive dynamo. I have watched a gopher game and the Minnesota coach rarely uses the third line which consists of Lucia-White-Hoeffl. When they do hit the ice, they are on for a very short period where they help move the puck out of the defensive zone and wait for a stoppage in play. Wheeler-Okposo get majority of the ice-time even if they do make mistakes that results in goals for the other team the coach will continue to increase their ice-time.

I am looking forward to next season where I am sure White will have a top-2 role down the middle and make a substantial impact on the scoresheet.

And if White doesnt get the time next year, he should honestly consider joining the WHL.

[timw33]

White's linemate Bostrom scored.

Not sure if White was involved on the play.

White has no pts yet in a 3-0 game, but is a +2, who said he isnt getting icetime???

BY POSTING HERE YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING BOARD RULES:

3. You will be tolerant and respectful of your fellow visitors.(and this includes via Private Message). You will find every opinion imaginable here, so you may want to find another board if you are not able to keep your cool when someone's viewpoint offends you.

Your approach is lame.

Haven't been banned yet, so it's working, if it's so lame then dont worry about it

Not bad. Better than the goose eggs he was putting up last year.

Just wondering, but which WHL team drafted Pat White?

Goalie Absent

Schneider, the loser in facing 33 shots on Thursday night, will be absent from the team for a number of days due to a death in his family. The Moose have recalled Julien Ellis from Victoria (ECHL) in the interim.

WOW, best wishes go out to Cory's family.

Sorry to hear that about Cory.

Good luck Ellis to who will likely just ride the pine.

[timw33]

C-A Messier has his 7th goal of the year.

Start of the 2nd.

Well good news to see that Hansen is in the moose lineup tonight, though he's taken a penalty.

Must be a bust.

Star players dont take penalties.
