In 35 games he's the 2nd best Coyote to ever play for them so yes he's either drunk or stoned.

I was referring to his incoherent rambling about Trump, guns and killing coyotes but your point is valid.

I gloss over most of his blog and scrolled to the #2's.

You really are just a troll blogger. And are you insinuating that no Democrats own guns? I can tell you that here in Democrat California, hunting coyotes is legal and coyotes are actually considered non-game animals like pigeons and rats. So a Democratic state, which it seems you are, is all for killing coyotes which means YOU are for killing coyotes.

Yep. It's hilarious how Jimmy hates Trump so much yet he can't write one blog without mentioning his name. I'm just surprised he didn't use the word "racist" this time. I suppose he'll save that for the comments.

Jimmy should be hoping Trump wins in November. If Biden wins, 95% of Jimmy's content will disappear.

I’ve only commented on non-hockey related matters here once or twice but I guess I’ll bite on this one.

As someone from a rural community, killing coyotes is necessary. It’s only sick in the sense that outside of getting rid of the pests that they are there is next to zero benefit to killing them since their meats pretty well no good and their furs aren’t worth a whole lot.

As far as using 100 different guns that’s a little excessive but that also depends on how the data was collected: based on gun specs, multiple hunters, someone who has lived long enough to do so, a salesperson testing their products, or a straight up fanatic. I wouldn’t bet on that last option though because while most collectors may own a bunch they mostly use their preferred few for hunting, like wearing your favourite hat out while the other 20 sit on the shelf.

What he should do is apply to be the hockey writer for Yahoo. They just got rid of commenting on articles so he could write whatever garbage he wants, nobody can constantly prove him wrong all the time in the comments and HockeyBuzz can get a legit Coyotes blogger on here that will actually watch the games and write actual stuff about the team. It’s win win for everyone.

I think that’s why most lists you see online for all time best players have a minimum number of games played. As well Tanners list is based on most talent than actual results. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe Keith tkachuck holds most points in a single season with 86 in 81 games in a yotes uniform and even Doan’s best year with 78 points in 80 games out matches Hall’s production.

Talent wise I don’t think anyone argues that Doan in his prime was better than Hall in his prime but in a yotes jersey he did have better results. Obviously the sample size between these 2 points in time don’t accurately reflect the individual players well but results are results. Who knows, if Hall were to resign he does have the ability to become the best results based player for the coyotes but as of now he lingers behind.

In the end it’s tanner’s list, he makes the rules and determines who goes where. He could make a case for Pavel Datsyuk at #1 if he wanted to.

Remember the other day when Tanner said writing an article to discuss the Coyotes training camp was what all the other "boring" bloggers do. Coyotes fans can find that information elsewhere. Even though guys like Meltzer are offering fans detailed synopsis of who is doing well in camp, what the lines are, what the coaches are thinking...Tanner is too good for that. Movies and politics are more important.

OK. Whatever. That's his choice as a writer.

But I found something pretty revealing. On another site, where Tanner writes about his beloved Maple Leafs, he's reporting all kinds of camp details. He even got all excited when the coach put a superstar line of Tavares-Matthews-Marner. He was quick to report to all the fans about how this line might be utilized.

Hmm, so he says one thing here, and does the opposite there. Another classic example of moving the goalposts.

I believe he did have Hossa in the top 50 and he never played a game for them.

Holy Tanner! Taking another beating today. I do admire the fact that you keep on keeping on when the heat becomes extreme. Is this closet Leaf fandom I keep reading about reality? Aren't you a Coyotes fan?? I find this all very confusing. What is the real deal here?

I don't really consider 4 pages of Trump supporters unironically calling me a bigot to be "a beating " so much as I consider it confirmation of everything I ever heard about comment sections.

The real deal is that I'm a sexually ambiguous bee keeper with a heart of gold.

I used over all talent as a deciding factor. Other wise its just a boring combo of most games played and most points that ends with Shane Doan and not Chris Pronger.

In that case, Pronger's glorious LTIR Coyotes' career should top the list. And Brett Hull should be ranked in the top-10.

yeah I noticed that yesterday. Yahoo spits out the most inane left wing stuff, headlines twisted and the facts either missing from the story or buried within, hoping that there's just one more person out there that needed to be told just one last time that President Trump is an awful, no good bad mean dumdum. Then they take the comments section down where people go to laugh at the bias and the spin.
JT would have a safe space there. Because once you have him in a corner its "hey guys just joking can't take a joke huh pleeeease lol"

I can't believe we're this deep in the comments section and NOBODY pointed out the biggest problem with the entire blog: It's Gandalf, not Gandolf, you ninny. FOR SHAME!

We have documentation of your racist comments. You disparaged minorities with your Wendy's comment. You are what you are.
