sorry I didn't post for a couple of minutes

I read this 20 times and I still don't get it

Really? Thought it was simple enough.

I'm just trying to understand the difference between saying "He's become better offensively than PK" and saying "he IS better offensively"

You shouldn't attach yourself to his ship. It's sinking.
- ehabs9


yes, because this is what you guys have said today:

Subban had 7 points in the Bruins series, was dominant proving he is the elite offensive defenseman in the game

Subban had two points in the series vs the Rangers, proving a 6 game series is "only a small sample size"

short memories on these boards. Montreal gave a super low bid for Eller, then signed him long term for a higher price than what he was asking for one year. 8.5-9.0 is what Bergy will offer for 8 years, hopefully PK accepts!!

Edmonton, Winnipeg and Washington all come to mind.
Perhaps Minnesota and Montreal also.

Reimer has had two good season, and two poop seasons.

This season is going to be a tie breaker. Unfortunately he's not going to get many starts, so he may go down in history floating in the time space continuum located between good and poop.

Pray for him.

- ehabs9

Personally, I like a good poop.

I never once said McDonagh is better than Subban offensively though

Not really sure why the sentence "has become as good" is so hard to understand

LOL i'm pretty sure it was saying:

It is most based on the fact that Reimer sucks than Tokarski is great.

- soad_live

Reimer sucked the last part of the season but overall has had a pretty good start to his career.

Nope. I'm saying he's an average goalie and could start on 5 or 6 teams.

I don't think Tokarski is a starter just because he had a good 6 game stretch.

- StormCloud



It's getting close! People are going to start making the connections over the last few pages of comments and piecing it all together.


This is like a sequel to Inception.

Oh. My mistake, clearly focused on the wrong part of that you said... well either way I still disagree about him being as good as Subban offensively.

well, if you could read, that isn't the fight I am fighting.

I said, once again....Ryan McDonagh has BECOME just as good as PK Subban is offensively.

Please, make me write it again

I just don't get how the 7 game Bruins series is one of the best things ever, 2nd best thing to winning the Cup, which is a direct quote, but...

the 6 game series vs the Rangers is a "small sample size"

I don't think he is better than Holtby and Pavelec is a stretch, but yes, he is better than whoever is the Oils goalie and yes he is better than sclerosis goaltender.

well, you had about 4 sarcastic responses to me and none of those times did you actually read what I initially said, perhaps next time you'll know better

Edmonton has FAsth and Scrivens who both had pretty good years last year.
