but a 55 point player for 800k is not valuable

- jimbro83

I'm ok with Wheeler, but I think you have to take into account how good Vesey is defensively and skating. That would probably make Vesey the better player at this point.

You see, while Tom is a pessimistic, sometimes annoyingly-analytic downer, he does so without slinging personal insults and claiming everyone is uniting against him. So yeah, we tend to be more outspoken toward you and TJ. You guys are far too often belligerent, nasty and simply wrong in your insinuations. With nary a thought of whether its warranted. Grow up, take some responsibility for your own actions and we can all just move on together and talk hockey. I have my doubts, though.

3, 2, 1...

4 cents Tony now haha

Wheeler is just a place holder.

TOM DOESNT LIKE THIS MOVE BECAUSE JIMMY AND I LIKE IT. that’s all we need to know Hell he may even like it, but that doesn’t fit in with his schtick

i'm (only somehow just now) beginning to realize that you two may not be brothers at all, but actually are just two different but very similar voices inside the same person's head

I like Vesey, I dont ever say a bad word about Vesey, yet I am at the same time pretty psyched we signed a 55 point player for 800K

it doesn't have to be either or

Nah. We’re brothers. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be at ranger fan so he’s a doosh

you mocked this article I shared before, I have yet to understand why

Because you rail on the charts and call them pointless or misleading or wrong or whatever, which is your right to do so, and then as a counter you post an opinion piece with just vibes and poop. Like it's the bible and Tom's posting heresy. It isn't that the article is wrong or anything, more that it's by no means a counter point to a statistical model. And again, i think charts are useful up to a point and are, obviously, not to be looked at as the answer to everything.

Would you still have been a mailman if it wasn't for him?

so you are telling me I can't share something positive because you are afraid to bother Tom

I agree 100% on this.
I am slightly worried about Wheeler's defense, given that it is an overall team weakness. But, it doesn't mean he can't be effective if used well. And the possibility of that production in the bottom 6, at that cost, is VERY exciting!

well, I tried........

This is not you fault. Partly mine. Mostly the other two.

- jimbro83

Honestly I don't think you're dumb. you haven't given me any reason to think that you are. I just think you have trouble with keeping your emotions in check and misdirect your anger. That is not professional medical advice

- Slimtj100

I have no one to blame but myself.

I think ultimately we are a very negative society these days, so people are going to gravitate towards someone like Tom, more than myself

it's cooler to be negative, and I totally get that

so you are telling me I can't share something positive because you are afraid to bother Tom
- jimbro83

Precisely... maybe you ARE dumb idk

i'm bored with this. Should i post my lines again?

Yeah Jim, it's not like you don't know the difference between your and you're!!

I just mean I tried to bring it back to hockey. Personally I ignore all the insults and back and forth. As Lt. Murtaugh put it so eloquently I'm too old for this sh!t.

Yeah Jim, it's not like you don't know the difference between your and you're!!

(frank)KKKK LITERALLY THE ONE TIME! Well played. I'm usually the douche doing that to others. I don't even think i can show my face here for a while

well, I used to get asked to step in and write the blogs sometimes back in the old days, and I don't think it's because people were amazed at my grammar

HAHAHA!

I've gone so far passed being emotional about this ridiculous argument that I'm actually enjoying this now.
(frank), just shoot me now!! Oh wait. I live in Canada, I've never seen a real gun outside of one being holstered on a cop's belt.
