  1. Yup. I'm sorry but the only people who think that virtanen has shown more value than ehlers or nylander is drinking the cdc koolaid.
  2. Difference between a fan and a homer. Likening a canuck is one thing. Claiming one is better than Gretzky is another. Not that nylander is the great one. Just trying to put things in context here.
  3. Totally. And every player on every line has the same set plays right lol. The only thing I got from his post is every good generated play is on the players. Every bad play is due to green... Got it.
  4. So true. While virtanen coming into his own is nice to see, he's still nowhere near the heights of ehlers and nylander. Jake has 80 pts in over 250 nhl games. Nylander is on pace for his 3rd 60+ pt season lol. Not to discount jake. Love the guy. He looks great but cdc would be singing a different tune if jake was a leaf and willie was a canuck.
  5. I'm not a fan of the selections regardless of what league they play. Every year it seems as if they everything the roster. Corrado left off back in the day. Woo left off last year. Then this year they opt to roster bahl... the 6'7" 240 player. On big ice. SMRT
  6. The one wrench in markstrom coming into his own is the expansion draft. I'm a big fan of demko, so I'm not geeked about losing either of them. Here's to hoping JB has a plan.
  7. In a sea of enlarged egos on CDC is nice to see some down to earth users. I too had long given up hope on marky and would have traded him at the drop of a hat. Sure JB didnt acquire him but he did choose his development path, which included sneaking him through waivers a time or two. It's nice to see some people coming around to JB, honestly he's the best GM we've had since burke.
  8. I'm not usually one to agree with alf but I don't think he should start either.
  9. After the first PP the 2nd unit scored short after time expired. The 1st unit did the same thing as the 2nd pp expired. The 2nd unit was deployed as the first unit for the rest of the game. Podkolzin is still on the "1st unit" but its entirety has taken a back seat to the second.
  10. I'm glad you said this. I watched 90% of the game including the goal. He looked okay but not dangerous. If he didn't score I'd say he didn't stand out at all (good or bad). I believe this is in part due to how he's used on the PP.
  11. I think they took it away. How did the hog play aside from the goal. Please only reply if you actually watched.
  12. That is the first app unit. But the second pp unit played better so they got the start for the majority of the game.
  13. The twins and Crosby all have a negative takeaway giveaway ratio in their career Connor has a positive in his career. You're definitely entitled to your own opinion as to whom is the best player and who you would put on the ice. But the reasoning for your opinion is not great lol.
  14. Regardless of what you said you're way out to lunch. You say he tries this 10-12 times a game and it results in turnover 90% So were 40 games into the season. If he tried this 10 times a game and 9/10 were turned over he'd have 360 turnovers right? Not 54 or whatever... You know what he does have....62 pts lol. So yeah. Take the blinders off maybe.
  15. He's 5th and he doesn't turn it over 90% of the time. You're taking homerism to a new level. You know who's above him in giveaways? Doughty Barzal Karlsson Pasta Offensively gifted players have the puck more. Score more. Take more chances. Win games more. It comes with the territory. His takaway differential is better than that of Panarin Scechnikov Marchand Paciorietty Draisaitl Edler Q. Hughes Kopitar Kucherov Karlsson OEL Barzal Toes Pasta Burns Gaudreau Chabot Tkatchuk Reilly Carlson Letang Doughty Weber Josi Yandle Klingberg Just to name a few. You'd be crazy if you would pass on these guys just because of their giveaway/takaway stats. Stop acting like he's hurting the Oilers when he's the only reason they haven't been relegated to the Ahl. To prove my point further Eriksson has a +4 gv/tk differential McD has -14 Who do you want on your team. I know who I'm taking
  16. Where's all the haters? Where'd you go? What a game. You're not a fan of hockey if you didn't enjoy that.
