James Tanner: PLUS MINUS Takes on Vegas, The NHL Awards and Other Stuff

Vegas might be an apocalyptic plague zone by the time the league actually restarts.

Depending on how hard the second wave of infections hits, all of the sports leagues might have to walk back on re-opening so soon.

I'll keep wearing my mask until all of this blows over. I don't care what people think about me because I am wearing one. My message to the right-wingers bent out of shape over wearing masks is to look at it this way - masks impede facial recognition technology. So, it wearing one makes it harder for Big Brother to track you with his every-present network of face-scanning cameras.

Wear a mask. It's a win-win for everybody. Keeps you safe, Keeps others safe. And is a low-key F-you to Big Brother.

Draisaitl >> Matthews
All day twice on Sundays. Get over your little fan boy crush. He’s not even top 3 cya James.

I approve this message.

Man, what did Wendy’s do to you?

Also, unless you’re talking about a different DeAngelo than the one that plays for the rangers he should be a minus. He’s a right wing lunatic that has no place in the NHL for his BS.

I don't care if you're right or wrong, but this comment is idiotic.


You didn't make a single argument against what I said. You just attacked me and said it was a 'fan boy crush' in order to dismiss it without thinking.

If you will do this on hockey, you'll do it on other things and that affects your life negatively.

There are perfectly good reasons to not choose Draisaitl as the Hart Trophy wiinner - his team doesn't improve with him 5v5 and barely breaks even. Adjust for luck and they were a negative with LD on the ice 5v5.

So he takes massive risks to score, and he dominates on the PP. That isn't an MVP.

On the other hand, Matthews is at or near the top of the league in the following catagories: 5v5 goals, 5v5 goals per minute, CF% SF% SCF% hdscf% G% .

Matthews is better than LD across the board in stats that have context.

But again, I do not care if you agree. What I care about is that you wrote a really dumb, ignorant comment and I'm so sick of people doing that. You have a point, either make a statement or an argument. IF you make an ad hominem attack you just look like a whiny suck.

I am going to be honest: square burgers piss me off.

And I am talking about D'Angleo the soul singer who doesn't wear shirts and has the best voice in the world and is a force of all things good and positive.

I totally agree with you about the dbag who plays for Rangers.

I could get the mental thing with the burgers but on the other hand would you might be getting more burger with a square one than round.

I’m not sure if this is how it works but if you got a round burger with a diameter of 2.5 and a square one that’s 2.5x2.5 you wind up with just over 1.25 square inches more of burger with the square one.

Also with with tony D I will add that I have no problem with a guy that’s got right wing views, it’s the prejudice’s and remarks he’s made over time that makes him a D bag.

Ugh. I don’t know why I even read your blog. It’s like watching a bad car crash...... just can’t turn away. Tool.

The Frosty is the best fast food dessert. Lots of innocent Frosty died in that fire. It was a travesty.

I'd put huge money on the fact this is the only thing you read or watch all week that doesn't tell you exactly what you want to hear. It's like eating your vegetables. You know damn well I'm right about everything, you just don't want to admit it.

The trick with restaurants is to skip the franchise chains and the burger poopholes. Ooh, a burger, I could never make that at home. Go to family run, ethnic food restaurants, order something you've never heard of or never tried, and then try to replicate it or even beat it at home. Restaurants to me are just auditions for adding things to my repertoire. Plus don't "rely" on restaurants to feed you or it adds up. Treat is an entertainment(if you love food). If eating out fits under the food budget it's ridiculous but if it fits in the entertainment budget, it's a good time.

That Tom Morello thread was pure gold.

Not only this, but proper PPE will protect against tear gas and pepper spray.

Gallagher and Tatar for Co - MVP, they’re just not as lucky as Matthews.

Just wondering how this site suspends people for comments but allows a blogger to promote and laugh about stores being looted and burned to the ground.

Everyone understands you know nothing about hockey but your comments about
using certain scientific data and doctors like they have been right on the money with their predictions is more of the your "listen to me because I'm so smart " argument.Guess you didn't read the great progressive NY Gov. Because he admitted that all his scientific models and data were WRONG . All his apex and cortex charts were garbage.He finally told the truth and said he is out of the predicting game. Now if you want to wear a mask fine but don't make like everyone who doesn't is stupid. The CDC and WHO change their views on this subject twice a week.
You remind me of Bill Maher talking about scientific data. How stupid everyone is for not following the data when its a subject he promotes like climate change. But then in an effort to look cutting edge smart he promotes the use of drugs. Laughs about it. I guess the scientific data shows it helps society when people use drugs.
Your the same trying to look so smart and with it. Its pretty pathetic when a 60 year old tries to be cool by talking about his drug use like Bill and is equally pathetic when a person like you actually thinks anyone is buying your I'm so smart
act. Your so cutting edge and worldly with your off beat movies and music. WOW
impressive. Great prediction about Barrie winning the Norris by the way.

It's just like the media in America...... hypocritical, lying, left wing loonies...that's why.

He’s got it down to a science

It's nice to see the clicks on this garbage blog is down lately

If it wasn't for people coming here to rip him, he'd have no clicks at all.

So sad, so sad

Tanner is literally imploding in front of us. Completely off the rails and losing his mind. I am starting to actually enjoy the show. It’s better than when he actually pretended to know about hockey.

The only questions I have: is EK, Tanner or something ? Or is EK just desperate for traffic? At some put you think he would rein this little guy in and remind him it is a hockey website and not some nutty left-wing anarchist forum.

How does Ek let a blogger Fat shame, and encourage burning someone’s livelihood?

Seriously.

Tanner has naked pictures of them at Hedonism?

Also, no one visits this blog when it's strictly about hockey, because, let's face it, my 6yr old I mows more about hockey then him, so he resorts to political click bait to get a few pennies in his bank account.

Sad, but ya can't blame him. He is a college professor, ya know. No minds to brainwash, so this is all he's got
