I can't even respond to a statement as fact-less as this!

So, one post after making yourself look completely stupid, you challenge someone else on facts?

Medical team should have strengthened JVRs finger before the season started so that it wouldn’t break so easily. Incompetence.

But can he sustain it? looking at the point, two goals in one game....one lucky bounce and an empty netter. get some will say doesn't matter how, but is it sustainable, will he consistently get a point every other game? since, he has had one assist in 5 games.

Same with Hayes...do not expect him to continue his point streak. or hart to continue his save percentage.

stick to the facts...this is not his second season. doesn't matter why or how, just like his draft position at this point.

Exactly ... I don't care where/when Frost was drafted or how many games/seasons he has played. The bottom line is forwards that are going to be impact forwards usually show it within the first season to some degree or another. With Frost he has never shown it. Its one thing for a young forward who dazzles you with blazing speed, highly skilled moves and highlight reel goals, but is terrible away from the puck. However its quite another thing to have a young center who can't score, doesn't set up plays, doesn't move his feet consistently, and is not good away from the puck all at same time!

This is a completely inaccurate statement concerning Frost. He has shown plenty of times that he has offensive ability and skill.

As typical, you completely are off the mark. This stat says absolutely nothing about what I was referring to. Against Tampa Frost played less minutes (12:41) than MacEwen did (13.30). In the past 3 games, Frost has barely beat out MacEwen in ice time by less than 2 minutes. These are the real FACTS!

Bottom line, if Frost was any good at all, he would be one of the leaders in forward ice time on this team and currently he is not even close!

Oh, I sure in your fantasy world you see Frost making dazzling offensive plays and scoring in bunches ... but for the rest of us ...

Wow, you are a complete embarrassment.

You made this comment.

"Frost cannot even beat out Zac MacEwen for ice time!!"

I supplied the TOI stats and now you're telling me that it has nothing to do with what you were referring to.

Precisely. It’s why I point them out. Others use these stats as the end all day all facts.
