Thread: Im new to Nhl What team should I cheer for
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div>If you can hold off for a bit, why not Seattle?

I started following hockey when the Ducks came into the league. I feel very fortunate to have seen some amazing players play for them, have had the major downs during the multiple thrashings that occurred by way of the Red Wings dynasty during a handful of sad playoff finishes, the happiness of seeing them take New Jersey to 7 games in the finals, followed by the heartbreak of that moment, then to see Scotty Niedermeyer join his brother Rob in Anaheim, the major theft of Chris Pronger, and finally a Cup championship. Things don't look great today, but to have been able to follow since day 1 was a lot of fun.</div></div>

you also have the Disney movies......

Thread: What Matthews is worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Boomer125</b></div><div>Sure cool that's neat - caps didn't make the playoffs in Ovi's rookie and they literally ran all their offence through their shiny new toy, TO chose not to run all their offence through their shiny new toy and made the playoffs - but I digress as there is currently no argument to displace OVI as the all time best goal scorer in the league he's that good - but to say line mates had everything to do with it is a little niave when it really depends on how a teams offense is structured and which player it runs through - early days of OVI it all ran through OVI and early days of Matthews it did not and even today the offensive structure of the Leafs does not run through 1 single player</div></div>

thank you. you made my point without trying to but I no longer need to continue this current argument

Thread: What Matthews is worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>But they were vets with experience. But again, according to you Nylander is overrated and was carried by Matthews, Hyman was a nobody, but at the same time Nylander and Hyman carried Matthews because Matthews is overrated. Your circles are out of control</div></div>

buddy let me quote myself one more time bc you are having such a hard time reading

"Matthews didnt carry Nylander and Nylander/Hyman don't carry him but it helps to have good to great players on your line".

ill break it down for selective reading disordered

Matthews didn't carry Nylander
Nylander/Hyman DIDNT CARRY MATTHEWS

so at the juncture of my quote im simply saying nobody carried anyone. I then go on to say

it helps to have good to great players on your line.

this means all 3 benefitted from playing with good to great players.

hopefully this helps you comparand the words I said to you.

I said Nyalnder was overrated bc people compared him to Marner. MArner is MAthews level not Nylander level.

ill break this down also

Marner and MAtthews are better than Nylander but this doesn't meanNylander is terrible it just means hes not ELITE like other people claim. you can be great and still contribute to a successful line.... to circle back to your one track mind

Thread: What Matthews is worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Rookies are rookies, name me one other player who scored 40 goals in their rookie season while playing with 2 rookies and getting exclusively 2nd pp unit and also around 17 minutes a game. He was played like a 3rd liner and scored that much. At the time both Bozak and Kadri got more minutes and opportunity than Matthews. But what does that matter, Ovie played 20+ and scored 50 or whatever</div></div>

guy rookies come in all different skill levels.... was McDavid worse than LArs Eller bc hes a rookie? no rookies in fact can be good at hockey

Hyman Matthews Nylander &gt; Dainius Zubrus Jeff Halpern Ovechkin … Zubrus score a carrer high in his first year with Ovechkin....same with Halpern... both were at best 3rd line player past their primes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Nylander and Hyman. Those are the rookies, one was a high skilled 1st rounder and the other was in fact a nobody at the time. So now are you saying Hyman that year was some sort of high prized high end rookie as well?</div></div>

then why not say Matthews was on a line with 1 high end rookies and a hyman….why try to hide talent in the word "rookie". its just being vague to try to add value to your point. Marner, Nylander and Matthews were all very highly rated rookies. Hyman wasn't so much. ill quote myself. "Matthews didnt carry Nylander and Nylander/Hyman don't carry him but it helps to have good to great players on your line".

edit:
I never said high prized my quote said he had good-great linemates….hyman wasn't considered good?

edit this would be like me saying recchi and LeClair had a great year playing with a rookie ...the rookie is Crosby but lets not mention it
