What's sad here is you two used to be friends until for whatever reason you took his distaste for chia as a personal slight. I admire your commitment and devotion but jesus H christ.....its the internet.

Totally

Who cares about results ?


I only care about the appearance of effort. Buddy can run around like his hair is on fire and accomplish nothing.
But it's just so frustrating when In my biased estimation a guy appears to not 'care' even if he puts up quality numbers year after year

Essentially the NHL is akin to atom hockey. Participation, having fun and trying your best Is all that matters
- HB77

from an extremely young age until the end of your life, trying your best is essential. Are you trying to suggest that Jordan Eberle's effort in his own head is what matters? That he's somehow being smart about his lack of effort? I'm going to need an explanation on this one I think, because all I saw was an extremely skilled player mailing it in night after night. There are guys like Hendricks on the team that are killing themselves to earn a spot and can't do it because they don't have the skillset. Watching a guy like Eberle pu55yfoot it around the rink drives them crazy!

You just keep mailing it in all of your life HB77...good job.

I think you took what he said wrong. He's not saying effort doesn't matter or that it shouldn't be highly valued. Merely that in a professional sport, effort alone shouldn't supersede actual, tangible results. Yak can give all the effort in the world and still not scratch the surface of what Eberle can produce.

no, I understand his point (and I think I also confirmed it with the Hendricks example. Hendricks and guys like that have so much heart, but lack the skills etc.). This poster likes to consistently make negative comments on my points of view however, so perhaps I get a little sensitive.

I firmly believe that even though Hall and Eberle are two of the most skilled players to play for EDM (that's saying something)....their "ho-hum" attitudes contributed greatly to the failures of the team for several years. Add Justin Schultz and a few other guys that don't give a fark...and you've got yourself a teenage millionaire's party and a 25wins season! haha

Oh (frank) off. Now hall has a hohum attitude? He was the only player we had give a (frank) for a while.

You can hate on Eberle all you want but it's a style thing more than an attitude. Todd said many times last year the effort from ebs was there.

You are a prototypical railroader. Pick a scapegoat and female dog about them. Then make up a bunch of poop about players after they're gone.

Lethal one timers in the entire NHL

Stamkos, OV, Weber, Laine (getting there), Old Iginla and maybe Malkin.

Non-lethal one timers in the entire NHL

Everybody else including Strome.

I think Eichel is right there with Laine.

I wasn't really suggesting anything

Well, other than you're an idiot and eberle is 500x the players yaks is. And that results matter. And your biased opinion of what you THINK of eberles attitude or effort is guesswork at best.

You can post until your fingers fall off about eberles shortcomings, but the fact remains that eberle put up top line results as a career average. There's no anecdote or opinion you can have that trumps that fact.

And how do you know matt Hendricks was anything but stoked on eberle ? Link saying he was frustrated with ebs?? Is he Your Neighbour ?
More anecdotes and guessing...This isnt how debating works. You suck at this at game

End of the day, even if he Is one of my all time favs, it's not like im oblivious to his weaknesses. Some nights he was tough to defend. And maybe they did need to clear cap (spending it on russel was an an abomination though)
But idiots like 'internet rich guy' just use guesswork, bias and anecdotes in the place of fact. Even worse, he talks like ebs is some sort of 25pt 3rd line scorer instead of the proven top line winger he's shown for his entire career.

Pfffft....tell me again how awesome the Pianist was...
- Larsson_fan

Come now dude. Surely there is a middle ground between the pianist and stupid as (frank) brothers grimsby?

Next you'll tell me you thought pain and gain was awesome...

Fair enough... I'll call a truce

Don't know why you're making it sound like it's just Reveen. Constantly being called an idiot, moron or mongoloid (to name a few) for having a different view probably doesn't help. Both are "guilty" (if you want to call it that) and maybe it's not personal to Reveen, either.
- MaximumBone

i don't think Reveen takes anything here personal....or serious.

I don't take it personal..... I just would like to see Iggy lighten up, everything isnt doom and gloom. Hell Chia could trade Letestu for Crosby and he would find a negative way to spin it.
