If Strome posts 75 we are in deep sh--!

I get what you are saying, but I would much rather have him post 75-80 and the Hawks make the playoffs then him posting 50 (in 82 games), we miss the PO's and we resign him at a "reasonable" rate.

I did take the time and read what you wrote. And yes back injuries are very tricky. I also said if you look at his age and the last 4 years as a snapshot , it's highly unlikely he will reproduce the same or similar numbers as he did last year.

Could he sure anything is possible, but taking into account his age , and all the hockey he has played in such a short period of time I think he will put up a respectable season 60 to 66 points but not a 78 to 84 plus season.

God, its like talking to a brick wall...I just explained to you why you can't look at the last 4 years as a snapshot, and project his play from that...but that's fine...I will just say I told you so at the end of the season.

Telling Taylor you disagree means you're dishonest or stupid. This we learned yesterday. Today we add argumentative to the list. The Most Interesting Man in the World has opinions so correct that they are really facts!

Someone enjoys being a whiny troll , who demands conformity and name calls. Then when confronted plays the poor me excuse.

If you don't like it that's tough and I'm not about to be politically correct to appease you or anyone

I'm not looking to argue , you explained your position with some known facts. I responded and have a differing opinion, I laid out a point that I believe toews will reach but not exceed . You seem to think he will put up more points Than that.

Can we disagree without arguing and name calling.

That I agree with. Everyone else complained about Bickell, now all of a sudden they want to put him up on a pedestal and argue . His numbers quite frankly sucked. I'm not taking away his rock solid performance in the 2013 finals.

But anything more is just looking to argue when the numbers don't lie
- Taylorst1

Oh my god. Are you still whining about this? Shouldn't we have moved on to Campoli's turnover against Vancouver or whether or not Nik Leddy is a future HOFer by now?

Arguing = debating, which is what we are all doing...kind of the point of this whole thing

And I didn't name call..

Hey, lets have a bet. If Toews gets 75 or more points, you have to set Bickell as your profile picture, and put in the location, "Bickell was the best player ever!"

I'll let you decide what I have to set if Toews gets under 75.

to be more correct here I didn't mean to imply you in that statement about name calling it was just meant as a generalization that some of these posters have resorted to name calling. For that I appreciate your dialog.


I agree and except your bet and if toews doesn't produce then you will put up a photo of Bickell with the caption saying Taylor st is the best I was wrong.

Fair enough lol

Bet accepted!

I thought maybe the brick wall thing was what you were referring to, but I was just implying that you are stubborn, which I don't think you could disagree with. I am also very stubborn, as are probably 95% of the posters on this site. We wouldn't be so passionate otherwise I suppose. I think everyone can agree that we all love the Hawks, and are passionate about hockey, which is why so many here get so worked up about their opinions of such.

You nailed me spot on I agree we are all passionate about the hawks and have varying opinions.

I'll try nd be more mindful with some of my words or tone I think that shows I'm sincere . Anyone who knows me would say I'm a great guy , very passionate , down to earth.

The pic is actually comical. These ads are annoying. Trying to compose a sentence takes forever with these ads constantly popping up or freezing up the page.

That's what's called a "good problem." Kind of like a sister in law hotter than your wife...

What would be the problem?

Hockeybuzz hotstove debates top 5 goalies in the western conference. No mention of our guys except one guy throws them out as honorable mentions. No respect for this team again. It would be nice to make these "experts" eat crow this season (no pun intended).
