Hmm.

Out of curiosity, why do you constantly post things about chess?

I play it, as I told you the previous time.

So just so I am clear; they favor Hagg because of his +/- correct?
- Striiker



I never said they favor him because only because of his +/-.

You posted a bunch of Advanced Stats and stated Ghost is clearly the superior player. You thought anyone who thought otherwise was misguided.

In response, I pointed out a cumulative 4 years of +/-, where Hagg was the best among D, and Ghost the worst.

And I suggested this might have some bearing on who we see the coaches favoring.

we, collectively, should stop feeding the troll. In the absence of "ignore" function it should become a conscious decision.

That particular phrase, upon re-reading, was indeed too strongly stated.

I should have said I believe it might have some significance.

Thank you, my man, thank you. Its been amusing so far.

If you think this is the lowest, just wait till MJL comes here.

He will respond to every post, while gratuitously bringing up my academic credentials which he has stated on multiple occasions he does not care about.

Never play chess with a pigeon.

The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over.

Then poops all over the board.

Then struts around like it won.

Don't take it out on me that you are a numbskull.

Here is the post, for your leisurely perusal:



The gentleman in question expressed unholy geriatric delight at the prospect of the Flyers ending up with a "Nashville type unit"

There is nothing wrong whatsoever in the context that this is an inelegant comparison because this great "Nashville type unit" was part of a team that never won anything.

- PT21



I get what you are saying but it seems you are assuming what the poster meant and over complicating the message. It appears that he was saying the Flyers are growing a really good D unit, similar to how the Preds did. I am sure the poster has or can confirm that, everything after that is just your opinion and interpretation of what the poster wrote. Do I agree the Preds fell short, sure I do but in the context of the comment about the D, the original comparison works.

I am glad you do get what I was saying. For it has escaped most here.

I do understand what Claudedaddie was saying, though I still feel it was a somewhat clumsy analogy.

I was being a tad pedantic and overly snippy with my original response.

But in retrospect, sometimes minor mistakes lead to magnificent mischief, and I had a blast.

So, its all good.

Its a tough audience, I am telling you.

This guy wcorvette, especially, he bears watching, he is a sus.

Many moons ago, he inquired about how David Pasta was doing after an injury. And I said I thought he was still all dented up.

And he really appreciated it, and expressed that with the words after this sentence.

The pasta reference to Pastrnak is a good one...I'll give you that. We could probably use a bit more levity like that.
