Smashian Kassian Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Who are we arguing about today? Kassian? Hodgson? Or Schultz? Everyone is trying to explain to King it is worth watching the games before you analyze the way people play. As for substance we are arguing about all sorts of things. - Phaneuf/Hamhuis - Kassian - The Ballard trade/Grabner And I'm sure Hodgson and Schultz have been brought up a few times too.

King of the ES Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 So which part is inaccurate again? King doesn't undervalue Canucks - Luongo is worth "table scraps" and Hamhius isn't as good as a 21 year old (Fowler) who is -111 relative to him over the past two seasons.... King doesn't exaggerate - it's just that when someone compares Hamhius to Phaneuf, he equates that on behalf of the other poster as the equivalent of comparing Malhotra to Joe Thornton. LOLZZZZZZ. You paraphrase people more freely than anyone on this site - just own it. Like anything else, Luongo is worth what somebody else will pay for him - an amount that I don't think will be very high. Certainly nowhere near the expectations of most people on this site, who's proposals have included Teddy Purcell/Keith Aulie/1st, Ryan Johansen, Biggs/Kadri/1st, Kadri/Rielly, Kadri/Gardiner, etc. It's not because I don't think he's a good goalie, it's because the context of this deal makes it such that nobody will want to overpay. My thoughts are that Schneider should've been moved at any point after his stellar 2010-11 rookie season. Gillis failing to act on that has left us in the precarious position of trying to sell a pretty old, pretty expensive goalie, with a lifetime contract, who has an NTC (limits the available buyers). Gillis has backed us into a very weak bargaining position, which always dictates the terms of the deal. One day - maybe pretty soon - you'll all understand a little better. On Hamhuis/Phaneuf, somebody made the point that Phaneuf sucks because Sutter traded him away for garbage. I then asked if he felt that Joe Thornton was garbage, too, since he was also traded for garbage. Fair question, is it not? You're again trying to paint me as a fool and telling a fairy tale about what actually happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the ES Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Everyone is trying to explain to King it is worth watching the games before you analyze the way people play. I'll again point out to you that I live in Chicago, and have almost certainly seen him play in person FAR more than you have. But, again, thanks for trying.

But, again, thanks for trying. Then you should have no issue breaking down his game, telling me what is wrong with his game, where the issue is and what is causing his poor play. Rather than blatantly avoiding it like you have the last 2 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're again trying to paint me as a fool and telling a fairy tale about what actually happened. Thank godness Gillis didn't do that, his value is way higher now, you would be surprised, his value then probably wasn't a ton higher than what Lindback got Nashville. or what was rumoured for Bernier (Frattin + 2nd) Yes we have to move and older goaltender, but also think, since Gillis held out he also got us a young starting goaltender who is already star calibre and getting better each year. Also Thornton and Phaneuf weren't traded for Scraps. You just think they were looking back in hindsight like you did with the Grabner trade, at the time the value didn't look nearly as bad as it did today.

Baggins Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've already addressed this. It's a reference to the PA announcer at Canucks games back in the Coliseum/GM Place days. "Yourrrrrrrrr Vancouver Canucks!" Anyway, I'm not sure on what planet valid concerns brought up about a prospect constitute not being a fan of the team in question, nor do I have an idea of why one's fandom on this site appears to be measured by how much of a raving cheerleader he is. So as usual you only respond to the least significant part of my post. How about responding to the part of my post that is your biggest problem: completely ignoring any mitigating circumstances that may be involved. You criticized the Canucks medical staff for "misdiagnosing" Cody's back injury. I responded with: "It's not exactly misdiagnosed when he did in fact have a bulging disc. What was missed was a muscle tear. Which was also missed by his own doctor, his junior teams medical staff, and a highly regarded back specialist in the US. But people tend to ignore that part. Btw, the following year it was the Canucks medical staff that found the problem everybody missed the previous year." Here's the question I'd like a straight answer to: Should the Canucks medical staff be condemned for missing a less obvious injury (a muscle tear) that was aggrivating an obvious injury (a bulging disc) when when every medical proffessional Cody went to (including a leading US back specialist) all missed the very same less obvious injury? No smoke and mirrors. A simple yes or no answer is all that's required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashCanuck Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 2012-13 Regular Season Rochester Americans 17 5 13 18 -1 47 8 1 3 1 0.333 Above are CoHo s whopping stats for this year. I guess the trade was a good one. CoHo had a total of 19 goals 22 assists in the NHL most of those points with an offensive powerhouse. I would say Canucks will do just fine with ZK and they won't have to deal with his daddy and mommy trying to coach and manage the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 On Hamhuis/Phaneuf, somebody made the point that Phaneuf sucks because Sutter traded him away for garbage. I then asked if he felt that Joe Thornton was garbage, too, since he was also traded for garbage. Fair question, is it not? You're again trying to paint me as a fool and telling a fairy tale about what actually happened. ? This is pretty irrelevent King. But regardless, here is what you did, which is pretty clearly more of 4) "And out of curiosity, do you think Manny Malhotra is also better than Joe Thornton? Thornton was traded to San Jose for a bag of pucks, which couldn't be due to a management error, could it?" The Hamhius is better than Phaneuf debate becomes 'do you think Malhotra is better than Thornton?' What exactly does Malhotra have to do with Phaneuf and Hamhius? Also irrelevent, but what you call "garbage" is typical, pure hindsighting - the "garbage" were three guys who were first round draft picks including Sturm, who had four straight 20 goal seasons in 2005, and Stuart who was San Jose's top scoring defenseman at 24 years old (a 40 point blueliner at that early stage of his career).

oldnews Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Old news,then kindly take your own advice and mind your own business. says the guy who then makes the very next post - ironically, yet another case of not minding his own business... The problem is,Old News,is that you do not show your face so you have this belief that what YOU do is legitimate. Somebody has to present the other side of the coin. Berating others is Old News, and gives nothing of value. 'Oh oldnews, don't talk back to King when he claims you should be embarrassed or have no analytical abilities.' Poor King. You are very mean oldnews. I know what you believe oldnews. You really should take a cue from Mr. Sensitive. When he's not calling people a lunatic or 7/11 employee, he minds his own business... Except when he's not minding his own business and trying to intervene in a conversation between oldnews (oh it might be your business after all oldnews) and King (whose name does not happen to be nucknit). Mind your own business oldnews.. yada yada yada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Is "Couldn't Care Less" an option?

TOMapleLaughs Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Who are we arguing about today? Kassian? Hodgson? Or Schultz? Is "Couldn't Care Less" an option? People must be really bored around here to be chatting with this OP about anything. This thread is even making me miss Sharpshooter's endless rants about his/her anti-religious agenda. He/she uses a few too many memegenerator gifs, but at least he/she puts up a decent debate. This OP requires more pre-written walls of texts, preferably written by somebody else, to back up his points, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vancouver doctors screwed up with Hodgson, as did other doctors afterward. Does that make it ok? Are we talking about top of the line medical sports proffesionals or not? A bulging disc and a muscle tear. 2 problems and they couldn't find one of them. The Vancouver Drs also screwed up on their evaluation of Willie Mitchell and who knows what else? I can get past that part, but the thing is, Coach of the Year called out the precious rookie for being weak or lazy or whatever he said, when the young lad actually had a back injury. This bs after a crap diagnosis which could have easily ended CoHo's career, and at the most crucial time in his overall development to boot. That's a warning sign to ZK.AV is a "put out or get out" type of guy, even to the rooks Hey TomL who's the band in your sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Is "Couldn't Care Less" an option? Actually King I don't think it was: No smoke and mirrors. A simple yes or no answer is all that's required. I guess you missed that part buddy. Also irrelevent, but what you call "garbage" is typical, pure hindsighting - the "garbage" were three guys who were first round draft picks including Sturm, who had four straight 20 goal seasons in 2005, and Stuart who was San Jose's top scoring defenseman at 24 years old (a 40 point blueliner at that early stage of his career). I know he looks through hindsight and acts like we all knew what was going to happen back then. Just like he thought it was so apperently obvious that Grabner was a 30+ Goal scorer when we delt him for a dire need after he couldn't crack the line-up consistently. I just want to know what Crystal ball he is looking though and if there are any extras for myself and MG. I can get past that part, but the thing is, Coach of the Year called out the precious rookie for being weak or lazy or whatever he said, when the young lad actually had a back injury. This bs after a crap diagnosis which could have easily ended CoHo's career, and at the most crucial time in his overall development to boot. That's a warning sign to ZK.AV is a "put out or get out" type of guy, even to the rooks I agree. Let's fire AV. i'm fairly certain they are. I like the new sig. And that Avatar isn't bad either.

That's a warning sign to ZK.AV is a "put out or get out" type of guy, even to the rooks I can understand why AV said what he did. For six weeks Hodgson kept saying his back was fine and not causing him any problems. Through camp and preseason his story never changed: it's fine. Then the moment he's cut and sent back to junior he goes to the press and says, "oh my back". What's his coach supposed to think? Either Hodgson lied about his back for several weeks or he was making excuses for getting cut. As it turned out, your precious lied about his back. Although I can understand why Hodgson would lie about his condition, it certainly didn't help with solving the problem. Perhaps if he had been honest the medical staff would have looked deeper and found the secondary problem at that time. But they never had the chance to look deeper as Hodgson lied and then left after being cut to see his own doctor. Then subsiquently other medical proffessionals. All of whom stopped at the obvious. I'm sure anybody here faced with the choice between millions to be made in the NHL or a return to junior would likely be less than honest about an injury to have the opportunity to make the team and the payday that goes with it. But his lie set him back a year instead as it delayed finding the root of the problem. Blame Hodgson as much, if not more, for the problem dragging on as it did.
