I didn't say negative. I was asking if that was a possibility for why his scoring is down. 36 goals is fine, but it's well below his career average/game. Last year was below his career average, too. You think the coach/management has throttled him. I offered another possibility. :shrug:

Scoring is down all around the league, which is bigger nets might be tested. You brought up the point of teams catching on to his one timer. Vinny only had his one timer to rely on and it worked for most if not all of his career.

Two sessons ago Stamkos broke his leg. One sesson later responds with 43 goals. I think many are too quick to count players out. When Stamkos wascinsidered to be the new big thing, Ov was counted out, even by fans on this board. Now this is no longer the case. Two or three years ago, there was the great debate of Ovechkin vs Stamkos as the leagues best sniper when Ov's scoring was down. Guess what? Some players regain their games and return to form.

I could absolutely be wrong about Stamkos but even a 30-40 goal scorer of his talent is pretty reremarkable.

Fine.
I've never counted him out.
I just don't think he's right for the Flyers. :shrug:

I preferred the circular discussions about Bobby Ryan. At least with him, there was actually a chance that he'd choose Philly for sentimental reasons.

Stamkos wanting to come to Philly to compete with G for icetime makes me lol.

Duuuuuude

Didactic classes (yeah....I had to look that up last week when my friend said it) end TOMORROW provided I pass my classes.

I needed a -12% on the final to pass PnT. Got a 72...was drunk the entire weekend before the exam on monday. Gave it a good 3 hour cram sesh

Needed a 45% on law. Cue the next 3 hour cram sesh. Got a 72 on that too.

Today I needed a 55% on econ. I put a check mark next to each question I got right beyond the shadow of a doubt...came out with like a 52%. There was 145 questions. He's a huge curver, and I'm sure I got plenty right that I was beyond a shadow of a doubt sure on. I imagine I'll get around a 65-70 on that.

Tomorrow I have a final worth 5% of my grade. I need a -64% to pass

I'M (frank)ING DONE WITH CLASSES BRUH. It's just "boot camp" and a year of rotations left

College is life's biggest pass/fail class. You get the diploma, or you don't

Besides- I should be looking at another 3.3 or so, which is normal for me. B/B-s with one A

I ended up with an 84 as my final grade in PnT, even with that 72 on the final

Dude...you just typed a novel of a post post 20 hours after we had this same discussion. You posted your Atlas Shrugged of a post completely without any prompting. Had the word "Stamkos" been mentioned anywhere? This topic eats at you. I just copy and pasted mine from 5 seperate posts from yesterday.

You can have your own thoughts, but if you're going to post a novel not long after dismissing or completely ignoring everything I wrote answering your novel, and then ignore them again, expect some annoyance.

Stamkos becoming a UFA and what he's demanding is pretty recent hockey news, unless you prefer to take control of each conversation. You wrote a "Novel" 20 hours ago with your thoughts. I wrote my thoughts today, something you clearly disagree with.

What's wrong with this exactly?

Peter Forsberg. Jeremy Roenick. Danny Briere. Vincent Lecavalier. It happens.

It may or may not happen.

I wrote 5 Raymond Carver-esque short stories. I simply anthologized them on the last page.
