He reminds me of a smaller and less talented Gustavsson.

I was discussing Sparks with some people on here. I don't trust him. Sure he has had some good games, but he has looked awfully shaky at other times. He should have had 3 of those goals...

It doesn't matter in the long run, but would be nice to have a reliable backup...

A) No, he's not good.

B) Neither is the defense in front of him and it's especially bad tonight.

Man a Shanny type Power Forward would be great.

Instead I'd be ok with:

Simmonds
Kickassian
Hendricks
Boyle
Schenn
Lucic (EDM retains 95%)

- Byfuglien Ate Me


I'd rather find one in our system or through the draft. Most of those guys are either not that good or nearing the end of their usefulness (careers will be over soon). B Schenn would be great, but probably even harder to get than someone like M Tkachuk.
The problem is that when these guys are actually good, they're so valuable you're gonna have to give up almost as much to get one of them as you would for a top defender.

it sucks because while most of us learn to live with it, good people stop coming.

(frank)in' Lums abandoned us for like half a year and it was probably because that guy..

Meh. People leave. Such is life.
As for lums, wasnt it because of a convo about sexism with a fellow poster?
Lums is hanging around, he'll correct me if my memory is wrong.

False on both accounts. He was a snowflake for half a year.

Or perhaps I was just fed up with all the bullpoop and draining poop.

The minute you get permanently banned from this place will be a better day for everyone. You believe yourself to be the smartest guy in the room, when really you're nothing more than a loud moron.

I called a spade a spade. Detroit is a bad team. The Leafs are just playing worse. But there's no excuse for them playing this poorly against a bad team. They should be walking all over Detroit right now.

for some reason, a bad team is beating a top10 team this season

It can be. They didn't clear the front of the net. They didn't clear the zone. They didn't cover the point. They aren't winning races to the pucks. They are getting beat in the corners. They aren't blocking shots like Detroit is. They aren't sustaining offensive zone pressure thus spending more time in their own zone, getting outshot.

So yeah, it's a bad night for Sparks but the team is playing like poop too in front of him.

That was one of many reasons. I'd got fed up with the same poop, day in, day out. Constant argument for the sake of argument.

The conversation in question was the straw that broke the camels back - especially because I thought so much more of that person. But that's something that I'm done with. I have no more desire to pick that up again than Zaitsev does to pick a pass when a chip off the boards is available...
