Merry Christmas to all

It's funny beacuse Nash is only legitimate now because he is on a contender.... but he still has done zip to show he is anything. Taveras might need a trade just to get the same opportunity.

Nahh its funny to even suggest a trade. Tavares will be an islander for life. Book it

And Happy Christmas to you.

Talking about my generation

who?

There is such an irony that you are using a quote from the previous generation to aptly describe yours.

Rememeber, he was teenage wasteland, not you.
- Beatle_john

I mean really since when has debating about who is better between Pominville and Kopitar or Giroux become a ''generation'' thing.

Giroux Debate over.

(ppssssttt... you are doing a bad job at ignoring him.)

Toews, Hossa and Montador getting valuable rest comming off serious concussions! Kieth and Seabrook won't burn out from all the minutes they play. Prospects who have been thrust into the Hawks line up over the past couple of seasons are gaining valuable experience playing in the AHL. Leddy, Kruger, Pirri, Shaw, Hayes, Smith, and Bolig. This doesn't put them into the top 10?

He really seems to harp on goals. Has no respect for assists.

Is cheechoo elite?
- hugefemale dog77

He was good then injuries (frank)ed him up

In your opinion.

You are the authority on foolish son?

Spare me, you dont even know the difference between and adj and noun.

Not being a homer, I'll take Pommers every day over Kopitar. Pommers is a leader as well a 30 goal scorer.
- BuffaloHardHat

You were using 'elite' as an adjective, not a noun. Merry Christmas!
- SUPERDOMINO

No. I was not.

Not clutch right ?

Nothing like a series clincher , shorthanded!
- BuffaloHardHat

Now, would you say he is THE clutch (noun), or just clutch (adjective).

Like I said I really think the bar is soooo low that just anything will do now a days.

I have watched elite talent in my 45 years and Kopitar, Giroux and Nash are not that!!! Crosby, Malkin and Stamkos are! Datsyuk is close.
- BuffaloHardHat

elite. Used as a descriptor here. Adjective.

Tavares or Nash? Is it even a question?
- mighty13duck

I'd take Spezza over both Tavares and Nash as well as Kopitar and Giroux.

Spezza > Tavares Nash Kopitar & Giroux. The Islanders as a group are a very entertaining team to watch. The Isles and Sabres have played some wild ones recently.

Hell, I'd take Getzlaf or Perry over Giroux , Kopitar and Nash.

I never said Vanek and Pommers are . However , the criteria some of these posters set as guidelines to figure out who is or not pus Pommers in 'elite' category.

Just sayin. You cant have it one way excluding the other just tomake it work for you.

The Bruins with Rask are no lock. If Thomas was in net I would say we might be chasing them . I also like what Ottawa is building. And I do feel the Sabres are tougher with the additions of Gigensons / Ott / and Scott. Watch the youtube videos. John Scott is a man amongst boys in his fights.

Elite is the adjective. Used to describe the noun "category".

I am talking about the group of players as a whole entity child. Dont even bother replying because I will not entertain this any further.

- gerbe75pts

That is actually funny Gerbe.

Well played.

The group that is elite? Or the elite? Is Pavel Datsyuk elite? Or is he a part of "The Elite"?

Forgot about Toews.

I would no doubt take Toews over Gioux, Kopitar and Nash. Spezza , not sure.

Love to see Spezza in a Sabres uniform!

- BuffaloHardHat

The elite Toews? Or Toews, a member of The Elite?

How about, Spezza not so elite?

Hey BuffaloHardHat I'm still waiting for my reply on whether Pommer is better than Toews, Ovi, Kovi, Eberle, Spezza
