my opinion isn't part of the equation here. All I'm saying is it's maximum strength weak sauce to play the "I see this team for what it is, all truth and no bias" card, then dial it back to "I'm just, like, saying my opinion, man."

It's funny because the words "I see" immediately mean you're saying something subjective.

Well thats a battle between myself and MB flyerfan who seems to have a personal vendetta against me of late.

Well, when you say that, everyone can read it, and it comes off pretty bad. Just letting you know, if you care.

Your argument yesterday, if I remember correctly, is that Read and Couturier are not good offensive players.
- jmatchett383

Yes, IMO they have an average skill set on the offensive side of the puck. Meaning that while Read scored 22 goals or what have you..... Voracek scored 23. Voracek is worlds apart in the skill level spectrum.

Actually my argument yesterday was that he is not a top 6 talent. I think he is a 3rd liner at best and the fact that the Flyers NEED him to produce at a top 6 rate is part of the problem with the current teams depth.
- GOA88

Do you think having RJ on that line has effected the play of Read and Couts this year?

They showed some signs of life when Brayden Schenn played with them.

Read is also playing through a foot injury. His speed in the past is part of what made him a good player and a scoring threat. He hasn't had the speed or acceleraton this season.

It's a very ethereal feeling like the world is falling away and all that is left is the dull hint of exhaustion that my eyes are experiencing. Could be fact though.

Absolutely. In fact yesterday I said I can see the pure talent with Couts (sometimes), more so than I can with Read and that I think it would be a big difference if Couts played with better wingers than both RJ and Read.

Well, if you're on an open discussion board and don't care how you're viewed, then I don't know if you can ever be surprised when people don't like what you have to say and become argumentative quickly.
