Weber is head and shoulders the best dman on this roster.

You know how I know that?

I watch games at FNC only 8 rows up from the ice surface.

Wouldn't that just be your opinion then?

I dont know why people hate myers so much. I actually enjoy the debate that goes on about him. If you can look past the obvious personal vendettas, BOTH sides bring up good points.

Is it because for whatever reason under whatever circumstance he isnt producing like his rookie year? Seems to me the people that smash on him the most are the ones that like to point out "been 6 years" the most. Id wager 6 years ago is near the bottom of the list as to why another team might be interested in him.

For what he brings his contract to me looks pretty good. He is under producing points wise this season(slightly IMO based on whats around him) As others have pointed out, nearly impossible to single anyone out with this team.

I fully believe coaching is a HUGE problem this season. It isnt helping anyone on this team.

When i see a list of other defensemen with grades next to their names and Bogosian is Pietrangelo, Myers is equal to or worse than Del Zotto, Gardiner, and Schenn it makes me laugh. Laugh hard.

EDIT: when i see that weber is better than myers i spit milk im not even drinking out of my nose

Everyone has an opinion brother.

Heck, in my opinion I think Weber is superior to just about any dman in the league.

















































Shea Weber that is.

Yea I get the opinion thing. Its why more often then not I enjoy reading this board on a daily basis.

You didnt address either of the things I brought up. Point production and contract. Stating things like you do about weber is fallacy. Opinion or not. Theres a reason weber isnt debated about. Players like him are a dime a dozen.

And I see what you did with your edit. I do have a sense of humor and normally that would be funny. You werent talki g about shea weber a half hour ago or the dozens of other times you have brought him up.

Add in the 30 or so from the back end and yeah, it really wasn't that far off.

30 or so from the back end? Isn't that a wee bit optimistic?

Sorry have stopped contributing to some's stupidity. Don't worry not laughing with you , just at you at this point. I used to be really good punching people in the face though so I guess I could be a Sabre.

I'm not fit to be a Sabre.

Thanks for bringing yet another unconstructive post to the table.

Was not trying to "clear anything up" I enjoy the myers debate, just when the points being made have some sort of thought behind them.

I don't want to get into the Myers thing ieetbred, I promised another poster I wouldn't and i'm not.
Nor do I want to honestly.
That horse has been beaten beyond recognition and I will even admit that.
And I also had a pretty good "troll/role" in that.

You have come to that conclusion ah! Good for you, everyone has an opinion (right or wrong) who are you to say they are right or wrong? Get off your high horse big boy and just be part of the conversation.
