Dude stop responding to me. I tried giving you a chance to be normal but you're the most anti-social person I have ever encountered. Buzz off already. Get the hint.

Your infatuation with guys sizes is peculiar to say the least

Laine averages one hit per game over his career

What a physical presence

- sbroads24


Generally speaking larger players are more physically dominating. The whole nature thing.

324 hits for laine
130 hits for skinner

Since laine entered the league. (As a rookie 18 year old)

Laine big
Skinner small

Yet Laine’s size and physicality doesn’t seem to ever draw penalties. Yet Skinner gets under teams skin on game to game basis

Funny how Lazar and Sheahan, two guys who have been NHL tweeners are suddenly having success and scoring goals with Skinner as their linemate.

Skinner makes his line mates better

Laine gets traded at 21 years old

Fantasy stats have opened my eyes. I don’t know how any hockey player can play a game and not get credited with any hits. Not saying you need 30 hits a game but even if you are a goal scoring finesse forward, if you get zero hits in a game you are not doing hockey correctly.

We have to tell you over and over and over, all day every day, you are confrontational and antagonistic over literally everything. To everyone.

If someone comes on here and says "Boy it's raining out today, huh?" you will respond with "what do YOU have again RAIN? don't like it? DON'T GO OUTSIDE maybe" and you act like you just dropped some sort of epiphanic truth bomb.

When you're not doing that, you're on here being a cheerleader.

When you're not doing that, you're responding to every post by the same person in a 2 hour time span as if this is a chat room.

Then you constantly accuse me of having other active alt accounts, as if I've shown any indication that I'm anything but brutally honest.

You have an anti-social behavioral disorder and instead of maybe for once considering you don't know how to act, you always contradict what people are saying and try to spin it around on them.

There's honestly been about 15 of us in the past week alone who have had an issue with your behavior. And you always use it as an opportunity to go back and forth with someone ad nauseam until they're so exhausted with trying to reason with you they give up, at which point you continue to go on and on, never being satisfied with someone renouncing their efforts and yielding to you.

What don't you understand here? It's pretty bad when even homie is fed up with your stuff enough to mention that I at least humor people when I'm being an annoying little twat for no other reason than to get a rise out of people.

Which, in case you haven't noticed, I don't exactly do a lot of anymore.

Try to be better, dude.

I mean, here's you, never uses apostrophes and constantly spells 'you' as 'u' and you have the nerve to tell someone they misuse 'are' in place of 'our' as if no one on the god damn planet could understand what the dude is talking about?

It's an internet forum. Not a dissertation.

Cut back on the alcohol, because you're the most blatant chronic alcoholic on this blog. You show all the signs. Narcissism, confrontational, inability to self-criticize, gas-lighting, guilt-tripping, always playing the victim.

I grew up around alcoholics. You are a tried and true alcoholic. And it's pathetic.

Get a life. Make a friend. Get some help. Find a girlfriend. Or a boyfriend. I don't care. But maybe for once consider that you're a complete douche-bag and you should try to change it up a little?

Good points 👍

Skinner has been playing really good hockey.
Regardless of his lack of points.

Definitely a knock on a player that gets traded that young.
Probably something behind that, attitude , $ or something. The other dude is the same age, pick #3

Imagine trading dahlin at 2 years younger or eichel at 1 year older.

Jack had enough for 2 years now. Sometimes it's bad management, bad area too live ?

I completely agree. Fantasy hockey makes you really look at each category. That's why Sam stands out.

1 hit in 5 games this year.
173 career hits in 405 nhl games.

Minus the fact that hits is a completely subjective stat. There is no definition for hit and I believe are tracked by the home teams stay keepers.

Yes obviously some players are more physical than others but using hits is not a way to define it.

Is there a band right now that's better than King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard? The sheer amount of content they put out alone is unreal and they write banger after banger.

Stop the madness.

The kid is having a tough go of it right now. He has taken a step back this year (FIVE GAMES IN, mind you), but let's not act as if he was atrocious the previous two years.

I'll post this as 99% fact, based on zero knowledge 😁: they are not trading him.

Nots sure, but my daughter is suddenly into Fleetwood Mac lately (she's a huge fan of Florence and the Machine so I guess their fans are now into Fleetwood Mac, I guess), so it's been on in the car a lot - especially the "Rumors" album. Holy crap, I never realized how many hits they had ! Just that album alone had like 5, 6 major hits, plus combine that all of Stevie Nicks', Lindsay Buckingham's solo stuff, and there's a ton of material out there. My wife say's to me while we're driving today : "I just realized Fleetwood Mac has been around us our whole lives, constantly in the background, wherever we've been" ... so true. Soundtrack of our lives. And I'm not even a big fan of them, but wow ... they sure have a TON of material out there.

FYI, I'm into a lot weirder stuff, music-wise.

Oh yeah, getting to your original point...looks like you're right !

I think most players love playing for Gallant. I think his trouble comes from butting heads with management. (In FL, at least, not sure what happened in Vegas)
