I found Ender's Game to be a much more enjoyable read than the Bible. And even with the genocide of an entire species, I think there's less death in Ender's Game.

I'm so glad. I'd hate it if I were the source of cognitive dissonance.

Cognitive Dissonance would be a great name for a metal band with academic lyrics.

Not arguing that. You said an absolute "31 is old and on the decline" despite the fact that Pronger's production INCREASED by 0.11 Pts/GP over the age of 31.

Liar, they both could tie their skates and know where the benches are. Totally the exact same players.
- jmatchett383


Man, if I showed you a video of Brashear stick handling and passing from the shoulder pads down, you wouldnt be able to see much of a difference other then thier size. The only thing that makes Simmonds better is his nack for getting hot and potting the puck. He's good at that. But I specifically said when Simmonds is not scoring... he plays like a smaller Brashear.

Most "plugs" don't have 7 20+ goal seasons. Still, you're taking a red herring here. You said 31 is old and on the decline as an absolute, which is not always the case.

coburn doesn't have a fraction of the skill that timonen's ass has
- 2Real

What do you mean though? Kimmo Timonen is 38 years old, he's an old fart and on his way out.

You forgot to preface your entire post w/ "IMO" --because that's all it is.

The rest of us have zero complaints with how Simmer handles the puck, so you can understand why we find your Brash comparison to be so puzzling.



Edit: Covered the top-half of the screen.... I agree, looks just like Brash.

Hartnell is closer to the end of his career than his rookie campaign, this is true. Is he underperforming based on his salary? Yes. Does he have a chance in turning his game back around to what we saw a couple of seasons ago? Yes.

It's probably because you don't have any trade value.
