I still don’t understand. I thought it was weird to ask Philadelphia to cheer for Minnesota in the frozen four but he doesn’t seem any different from any other goofball sports caster. I once really liked Nick Kipreos but once he switched from Sportsnet to Hockey Night in Canada on CBC, he was really bad in comparison to who they’ve had in the past. Maybe it’s because I’m not local.

Question for you. In the upcoming 18/19 season, do you think that every player capable of playing in the NHL will be playing in the NHL? - MJL
Nope!
Honestly, I never thought we would see the day Scott Laughton became a regular. Five years in my opinion is along time to wait for a guy to be ready.
Sean Couturier. This isn’t me ragging on Coots. We waited seven years for Coots to go from 39 points to 76. I don’t think it’s crazy to wonder if he can do it again. That’s sports.
As for what we are currently waiting on? We might give the ball to a kid and see how far he can run with it like Leier last season but I’m not sure any of us should expect we have more guaranteed NHL players with the Phantoms or coming up from juniors at this moment in time.

Dude, you responded like 3 times to the same thing about earning a spot, has management shown anything besides you have to come in and earn a spot? Didn't think so, end of discussion. I'm the Mayor around here boiii. - ClaudeFather
I believe the Mayor of Angrytown is the mayor around here. There has been no subsequent election.
I’m just gonna assume you’re still upset that I schooled you on the Couturier vs Tavares play we spoke of last week where you offered absolutely nothing. - SuperSchennBros
Offered nothing, haha you just refused to believe Ghost left his man, how did Bailey become wide open in front again, was no one covering him?

No, Ghost wasn’t covering anyone...BUT Tavares worked Couturier on the play. A blind man can see this. Play the puck, not the man. That highlight play was never about Bailey’s goal, it was the work Tavares put in to get the puck to Bailey.
It’s pretty basic hockey, which you refuse to see.

Not to be a loon but I swear I’ve always heard “play the man, not the puck”.

Couturier played this fine. Tavares got nowhere near the net. That goal was 100% on Ghost. A blind man can see that.

Why do you think Pavel Datsyuk won as many Selke’s as he did as one of the best at defensive positioning and stealing the puck of this generation? You play the puck, not the man. At one point Coots tried to use his butt to pin Tavares against the boards. The highlight of this video is because of the work Tavares did on Coots.

Not the whole story about Couts.
2015-2016: 39 points in 63 games... roughly a 50 point season.
2016-2017: 34 points in 69 games (19 points in his last 20 GP prior to injury).
No PP1 time, poop linemates. He didn't just go from 39 to 76.
