Thread: Based on a sharks fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>What are you talking about? Labanc is under 6' tall and no where near 200 lbs. Kreider is a beast who's one of the fastest skaters in the league. Would love to see what happens to Labanc if he tries to stick up for one of his teammates... Labanc is more of a passer while Kreider is one of the best power forwards in the league. Labanc is certainly not better than Kreider! As for Merley, talk to me when/if he ever gets his act together. And the Rangers don't need a washed up 0ver 30 year old goalie, instead of one of the best up and coming goalies in the league. This trade would be incredibly stupid for NYR to make and shows you know nothing about the Rangers for thinking otherwise!</div></div>

Kreider has yet to hit over 55 points and is a UFA to be who is going to get overpaid in free agency. Lebanc hit 58 points in his 3rd real season playing on the 3rd line and skating just above 14 minutes a game. In no world is Kreider better. Lebanc is a much better possession player whereas Kreider is very average.
I live in NY and watch plenty of Ranger games, Im not even a Sharks fan and can tell you this is a ridiculous trade from them

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>None of them is better than Kreider and NYR is not looking to trade for a player better than Kreider. Rangers will replace Kreider from within as they have the voted best prospect pool in hockey. Also San Jose is in a free fall decline and desperate to make a trade... Which means they will have to give up more than they receive because all the GM's around the league smell blood. Not to mention the fact Georgiev is a young goalie just starting to develop into one of the better goalies in the league. Gorton would be fired if he just game him away for nothing.</div></div>

well you clearly dont know anything about the Sharks. Labanc is already better than Kreider and like 5 years younger. Merkley is a top defensive prospect (if he can get his act together). that is plenty (and stupid for the sharks) to give up for Kreider and Georgiev, not to mention the picks

Thread: Vote Sabourin Into The All Star Game
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>Under this ideology, there would be a million more ways to make the all star game more entertaining if that's the case.

If its about growing the game, Sabourin does nothing for it. If its for the fans, then how about let the fans choose every aspect of it including all players. if its for a "feel good" story, let a couple lucky fans get to suit up and play alongside these guys for a period.

The idea of voting in guys like Sabourin, Scott and Fitzpatrick before him, is all part of the fans attempt at creating chaos. A royal "up yours" to the establishment in order to laugh and make fun of the whole situation. That's why the whole thing just annoys me.</div></div>

Scott making the allstar game went viral, id find it hard to say it didnt help the league at all. Im sure his teammates were estatic for him and its been one of the best stories in years. But it is a one time thing. The fans get to vote for a reason, if it were a real allstar game, then a bunch of teams would have nobody there and teams like Tampa would have 5. You dont want to overdo any of those stories but it adds a fun dynamic to an otherwise meaningless game. I loved when people hopped on the Zemgus wagon
And again, the allstar game is made to be fun and honestly just geared to the younger fans, when i was younger i loved it, now ill still watch parts of it or highlights but it doesnt have the same draw

Thread: Vote Sabourin Into The All Star Game
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>As much as its always nice to see the 4th line guy get a little recognition, I feel like the John Scott All Star vote was it and now we stop doing it forever. Eventually its going to turn into a premeditated thing where the happy go lucky 4th liner gets to go to the All Star game, scores a goal and wins the car as MVP, etc etc.

The All Star game will turn into a Disney channel gong show........</div></div>

i sorta agree with you but its not like the allstar game actually matters. its supposed to be fun, for the fans and to grow the game. im a bruins fan but could honestly care less if the atlantic won the game. just want it to be enjoyable. not saying that sabourin to it would make it more enjoyable but if a good story for a very meh player presents itself, im all for it
