All I asked was if it would be a harder choice. To which you guys answered with a resounding no.

Fine

I'm not getting into the debate of Matthews vs Marner vs Laine thing here but claiming you want players who make goals happen before a guy who actually scores the goddamn goals sounds very Tanneresque to me.

The site has been around for awhile

How much money does the eklund guy make

Probably a bunch off all the damn ad revenue

Direct quote from a few years back:

"It's NOT Schenn for JVR"

couple hours later Schenn got traded for JVR

Well, the dozz is the thing that's probably going to end you.

Think Gozer from Ghostbusters.

Matthews>Laine>Marner

But they're all terrific young players and two of the three are Leafs

Blanket statement that a guy scoring a goal is worth more than guy setting up goal is just ridiculous.

It's the balance.

I have seen several instances this season of Marner making absolutely unfathomable passes to the slot, only to have Bozak be completely surprised by them and unable to bury them. In a situation like that, you love having Marner's playmaking ability but know deep down Matthews would have buried it. Furthermore, I have seen a few occasions where Nylander or Matthews end up being the guy hanging back and Hyman just can't handle the beauty pass. It's just as frustrating

On the other hand, you have guys like Phil who were here for years and had to score his ass off on his own since he had no playmaking linemates.

I prefer a fine balance of the two.

Off topic but the people booing Phil the other night were idiots. The guy did nothing wrong while he was here but be their best player.

Ya, good point. Playmaker, scorer, playmaker, scorer. I will keep repeating that in my head.

Maybe the blue goggles just make it hard for me to pick other teams' players first.

Matthews, Laine, Marner.

Happy?





oh and (frank) the Habs....except Carey Price.

You can hang out here. I don't blame you for wanting to avoid the Nucks thread. Scabeh is here all the time, and we've all come to accept it.

TBH you sounded like you were trolling when you first posted, mainly because everyone here had to deal with chirps on account of Laine being on fire while Matthews was in a bit of a rut. Now that he's back rolling again there hasn't been much talk of that nature.

People of Winnipeg? Do you speak for them?
- Cooshie

I went to The Peg in early October on business. Stayed right dead smack in the middle of the city. What a shyte hole !! Winnipeg looks like a rundown town out of the mid 80's. The rift raft hanging around was something else !

Not sure how they hang onto their elite star players !

I agree. No call for that. I have no issue with Phil. It was just time to turn the page
