It's nice when Leafs prospects play for Team Canada but when they aren't chosen, people can't pretend they got pushed aside without a good reason.

Clear evidence of a conspiracy.

Of course not.



Okay.



Alright. Such as...?



Great.

Out to Lunch as usual... Could your life be less meaningful? You have nothing better to do than twist people's words?


I never said one was better than the other. Still haven't proven otherwise. One is bigger and more physical the other brings better offense.

Ok guys, enough with the peeing match. You're both upstanding individuals who I admire, but not in that weirdoh way admire, new topic......SPENCER ABBOTT!
- mykokes

Small guy, big heart. Plays for a very deep squad so isn't getting the playing time. He's pretty low on the depth chart and hard pressed to ever crack an nhl roster. That being said, I love it when these guys beat the odds and make it!

Never proven.
- Two_For_Truth

That Percy doesn't have more goals and pts? That's not proven??? Almost 2x as much, but yeah never proven.

How do you figure Percy brings better offense?

If by this you mean that Reinhart does both things better, then yes, you are right.

We all know what you were implying Mr. Burns

Nothing?

Even without Percy the Leafs will be well represented this year
- coolehmon41

the stud in the stable is Rielly, no question.

who else got selected?

Clear evidence of a conspiracy.

Everybody is out to screw the Leafs.

Those referees are taking all this time off because of the lockout to figure out new ways to cost the Leafs games.

Imagination is a powerful thing.

He's going to have to be a really smart player if he wants to have an NHL career which he should be capable of doing.
- Two_For_Truth

his smarts i have no problem with, he seems actually really collected on the ice, from the few bits here and there that i have seen that is.

Career high in a single season for Percy? 6 goals and 33 points.

Career high in a single season for Reinhart? 12 goals and 36 points.

Career high in a single season point total for Percy? 4 goals and 33 points.

38 points last year actually

His positioning is what will get him far but since he doesn't have much of a reach or a lot of size, he's always going to have to be in the right spot and rely on his stick checking to break up plays.

- robin_steele264

Eliteprospects has him 12 goals and 36 points with 2 goals and 8 points in the playoffs.

38 was his PIM.

- robin_steele264

cause he does? lol

7 more points, however that hasnt translated into his +\- terribly well.. only a plus 4 whereas Reinhart is plus 10

offense doesnt mean a whole lot if the goals against are still high, see leafs, last two years.

Don't really help your argument.

- Two_For_Truth

he will have to play a cerebral game thats for damn sure.

like i said.. i see him rounding into the reliable second pairing guy who can hold the fort down while the PMD he gets paired with moves the puck

i do think he is smart enough of a player to get that far personally.

Like David Desharnais, and soon to be Tyler Johnson and Cory Conacher! wooooo........I'm a little guy, so I love these little guys that make it. Call it small man syndrome....what? YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?

well, too add some piss to the fire, Percy did have 25 points in 34 gp, which is a 50 point pace in the OHL, give or take a few points.

Don't really help your argument.

Oh stop being an antagonizing creep.

7 more points early in a junior year doesn't really prove one has more offensive prowess than the other IMO.


Anyways. Burn is really reaching for his argument here as usual, and I am confident that if another decent D prospect the leafs owned didn't make it he's be making the exact same argument about him.

the stud in the stable is Rielly, no question.

who else got selected?
- Dozzer

I'm assuming Biggs makes the US squad and some D man for Sweden I think his name is Nilsson

Oh stop being an antagonizing creep.

Ok ok. Night night.
