I don't think anyone is saying Dion should be on this team, its more the Dion sucks that people are challenging. - mykokes
Dion doesnt suck.
He's just not top 10 in the league as many on here say (well some say top 5 )
Dion is a good quality Dman. |

I get that, but individual team bias aside we are all Canadian and ought to be rooting for the best assembled team possible. Well having Dion represent Canada may be considered "fun" for many leafs fans the fact remains that if he was selected it would represent a poor quality pick and would ultimately be counter-productive to Canada's pursuit of Gold.
Furthermore, let's say he was hypothetically picked, what would happen to the self esteem of both him and Leaf's nation if he was severely exposed during the Olympics? - Whiskey-Tango

Strike 3 can I have another ban for nothing, and leave more notes for the mods? |

The stats are great, but when you watch him, he gets beat outside by speed, makes stupid ass defensive blunders, and basically lost you guys game 7 last year with less than 2 minutes left. - rangerdanger94
Again, anecdotal evidence vs. numbers.
It is the same as the other NON-LEAFS fan on here last week talking about how many costly mistakes Phaneuf makes.
Costly? How so? Have you seen his numbers?
Do you somehow deny that, to date, he has played against the toughest competition of anyone in the whole league.
... how can you people ignore the facts that just don't suit you?

6 players on Russia named Alex
Carter and Marleau over St. Louis? Opps. That's a mistake.
I would have taken Lucic with his 30 points and a +15 just to hit someone I don't like in the tourny. Maybe a Malkin or that (frank)er Kovalchuk.
Rest of the team I'm pretty happy with. Though I'd like to see Bernier there as the third goaler |

Was he a part of the game collapse, absolutely. To single him out is ridiculous.
I would single out Reimer before Phaneuf, and even that is silly.

What does NHL 14 have to say about that
Mcdonagh rated 88
Phaneuf 87

i wouldnt say the toughest competition argument is anything special
because that means he also plays with the forwards who focus on shutting guys down.. the mcclements, etc.
dont think that doesnt help him |

My honest answer would be I don't know. My reasons are that I am not familiar with how well the Rangers team as a whole plays Team Defense. I am not familiar with MacDonaugh (sp?) partners? I am not aware of his stats?
If the question was would I trade Dion for Mcdonagh then yes, I would. Believe it or not, I am not a fan of Phaneuf and never have been.
I am just sick of people just ignoring any sort of factual counter arguement and just expecting that their anecdotal evidence which is probably pulled right out of their ass, is somehow the truth.

What I wonder is how someone who has been called overrated so many times in his career byt so many people, can be succeeding where the entire rest of the team is failing.
I love people who use stats when it suits them, and the discard stats when they prefer to argue with their anecdotal evidence.
Toughest competition in the league, 25 minutes a night, among the best D in +/-
... and frankly, playing with Kessel is not all the time, and Kessel's line, especially when Kadri was on it, was NOT good in their own end at all.
I am not a Phaneuf fan, but the criticism against him is really tough to support.
If I went and made the same comment about Edler on a Canucks thread, I would probably be banned for a year. - Aetherial
Eh ohhh, the Canucks second Olympian quality defender

Ohh right, perhaps i should throw some plus/minus statistics around to substantiate my argument.................because clearly you possess more knowledge then team Canada's management team |

The Leafs are icing a scary team tonight....probably win just because it looks like they shouldn't.....at least Ranger won't be playing.....sadly that means Fraser will lol catch 22....oh well who doesn't love a good train wreck! |
