There is a difference between backing down from your opinion and providing argument through reasoned debate, and insulting people because they don't share your opinion.

What I want to say to you right now would probably get me banned.

Team game. You can and will win with Kessel if you give him enough support.

- daeth


Then may I suggest some tea. It calms the soul.

Team game is precisely it. It's something that Kessel has never heard of. Yes, he's better now then he was before. But if it's not offence he isn't interested. Teams with these types of players make the playoffs. With them as leaders they don't win the Cup.

Look, I'm not arguing over his offensive abilities. Only 4 players have scored more points then him the last 2 years.

Yes, I realize that last point.

To your next point about giving him enough support. You could say that about any player in any league in any sport. It's irrelevant to whether we should keep him or not. We'll rate him as a stand alone player - not as someone who could score 50 if he played with Sidney.

You responded to a post about bozaks salary with the implication that if grabovski is worth 5.3, bozak deserves more. Page 18/19ish?

Allright.. This clown needs an UG ban. If UG is the bar.. This clown is three times as antagonizing, 4 times as condescending, and 5 times as dumb.

If UG needs a lifetime ban (which I'm good with), this guy needs a lifetime ban, and his computer hit with a nucleur warhead. This is ridiculous.

The other night I understand, but this is inexcusable. I'm pretty upset, crying into my beer.

This one definitely stings more.

If this is the effort they come back with after a total ass whooping, it's embarrassing. On home ice after grabbing a 2-0 lead.

Wow.

Sorry, but I don't waste many words trying to explain why a PPG player is not the problem with a team whose offense has been anemic lately.

Every time this team struggles, somebody comes up with the inevitable Kessel diatribe. It's tedious.

- Leeman4Gilmour


Seems to me you've "wasted" a lot already.

Come down off your perch - your head is the size of a hot air balloon. You're not always right yet you portray yourself now as some HB god.

Get over yourself.

Agreed. It's just sad to see this happen everytime a goal or two goes in against, regardless of who's responsible

Bc I suggested that Bozaks value is worth more then Grabovski's I didn't provide enough information? Including the fact that Bozak is on the ice more then any other Leaf forward so obviously the coach sees huge value? Oh I couldn't add points so it's wrong? Gimme a (frank)ing break.

I had the same reaction when I read your dissertation on Kessel.
- Aetherial


I think you need to look up the definition of dissertation.

Always happens on this site - someone presents a differing opinion from the masses and poked at all the time. I'll become a sheep again so I can be quoted and loved.

Are you serious?

I've been dealt with alot of times, which is exactly why I'm not going down that route and directly calling someone clueless, a moron, etc. I get that the implication someone is severely retarted isn't far off, and is walking that line.. But it's a far different story than calling someone a moron repeatedly.

Yes, I constantly let myself get dragged into half witted battles, but I'm not engaging them, I'm not on here just to condescendingly rip anyone with an opinion, I'm not egging battles with 10 different people beating the lone wolf opinion to death. I do admit when I'm wrong, and I do respect other people's opinions when its been previously delivered respectfully.

You want to defend that crap? And act like the people getting dragged into it and defending themselves are the issue? Pat yourself on the back.

I said reasoned debate, not stats overload. i.e. make a point, rather than calling people stupid for not agreeing with your opinion.

This is directed at everybody btw, its ridiculous.

As a standalone player he's top 10 in the league in points two years in a row.

This is the same stupid argument we see all the time with players who are good but aren't on great teams. People like you tried to run Sundin out of town when he was here FFS. It's boring.
