Thread: Next year if we lose
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>What a weird way to attempt to invalidate my point. I am not saying Mangiapane is better than Marner, nor am I saying anything like "Toronto should add." You were originally responding to the the other user stating their production in the last 8 games. You said an 8 game sample size is stupid, all I did was expand on that sample size to provide a better POV.

I, like you, am not talking about the trade proposed. I was just giving you a better sample size to work with as you may not have been aware of Mangiapane's growth towards the end of last season and how that carried over into this year.</div></div>

Now I must question your reading comprehension skills overall. For the second time, you've totally misrepresented a post of mine.

I did not attempt to "invalidate" your point. Quite the opposite, I clearly stated "Yes, 26 (meaningful?) games is a better sample size than 8. Because 8 games are ridiculous." That was your point as you yourself admit that you, like me, are not talking about the trade proposed.

And let me save you time if you wish to continue. Yes, 40 games are better than 26 or 8 and no I don't care about the growth of Mangiapane's offseason workouts.

Thread: Low Key FAs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TooMalevolent</b></div><div>Thornton really did not prove that. He looked serviceable next to those guys for like 10 games. And that's one of the best passers in the history of the league adapting for a limited time because of elite-level hockey sense. Besides the skating, Ritchie's big issue is his lack of hockey sense. You even talk to people who watched him all year in Boston, and they will tell you even getting on the forecheck in the corners was hard for him because of the foot speed. He's also awful defensively, which is important factor for that line since they play a ton. Again, I think he would work well down in the lineup in a grinding roll. He is good around the net.</div></div>

You're totally missing the point. It has nothing to do with what Thornton did or didn't do. Matthews and Marner produced at a record pace regardless. They don't need another little skilled guy. The need a big body to ride shotgun.
