Embarrassing

Anyone seen Phil Kessel?

We were told guys like Soderberg and Lawson Crouse were trash. They are currently outscoring Kessel at even-strength. Love it.

Saw him at Ted's just before the game. He got 2 All Beef Jumbos, O-Rings with Ranch and a soda.

They are trash. Kessel is playing decently, the goals will come.

Kessel has played 17 games, averaging almost 18 minutes a night...and he has ONE even-strength goal. Haha. And a team-worst minus 5.

Why do you have to write the "haha" part? It makes you look like such a dork.

And you're using plus/minus? Give me a break. I'll just write a blog tomorrow about how Kessel is doing awesome and getting unlucky with a dumb low shooting percentage.

Cool. Can't wait. Teehee.

Ted's is awesome.

Since I moved to a different area, it's out of my way going home.

The dogs are good, but the fries are a lot like Tanners blogs: salty, yet bland with little to no taste.

I thought the secret to winning that most of these overrated NHL coaches aren't smart enough to realize is to load up one line with all your top talent, thereby making you unbeatable??????
Get your story straight, Jimmy.

Stories often get changed to fit whatever the current narrative is.

Boy genius given a long term extension thus guaranteeing more years of bad draft picks and mediocrity.

He's betting on his own players. You just don't understand the concept.

And his big splash to add Kessel will soon yield results. Kessel has ONE even-strength goal in 17 games and the worst plus-minus on the team...but luck, derp, derp, Corsi, derp, derp, regression analysis, derp, derp...

Might as well write it and then copy and paste it for further posts. It's just going to be a lazy half assed analysis. His low shooting percentage isn't going to last. Statistically it will improve. Blah, blah, blah. That's not analysis. That's stats BS and talking points. There is a reason why teams and players have streaks of bad luck in hockey.

Goals are what counts. Do some legitimate analysis. Tell me why his shooting percentage is low.

Do you even listen to yourself? The fact that you haven't earned the right to be condescending to a three year old and are completely unaware of this fact drives me insane. I'm sure you're the kind of person who feels good if you hear you're driving someone insane, so in some f-d up way you probably consider this an accomplishment. Congrats!

There is no hockey talk here James. Don't bail and hide behind your crutch post. Like I said, give us some real analysis rather than the stats talking points. Tell us why a top player on the team you cover is not scoring.

Why so a bunch of ignorant fools can act like being against racism is somehow a "left wing" propaganda movement or some such nonsense?

Thats because it IS left wing propaganda and the word racism or racist has completely lost all meaning because it's constantly thrown around and used incorrectly by the left.
