It's about winning and Jeff Carter isn't a guy that gets frustrated and acts like a child - Sid acts like a child and does things that captains shouldn't do - you don't want that negative energy on your team - you want guys who will work hard and not complain to the refs all the time about why they don't get calls, etc - Sid is bad energy for a team

Bullshit narrative alert!

I needed a checking winger who could chip and goal and add snarl. Is that not Nino?

Crosby is a top line player. And I would not replace anyone on my top line with him, based on this year. Nor would I put him on a third or fourth line because that's not his role. I am not saying that Nino is a better player than Sid. I am saying in the role where I have Nino it makes more sense to have him there over Crosby.

Kopitar has delivered this year, Kane and Toews have delivered this year. That's my top line.




YOU'RE NOT KIDDING

If you ask Crosby to play that role for you, he plays it better than Nino. No doubt in my mind about that.

This is how Rob Zamuner ends up on Team Canada.

(Leans back in chair. Enjoys seeing ridiculous arguments leveled against OV turned on Crosby)

OV >> Crysby.

Didn't Carter cry to get out of Columbus? Or am I thinking of somebody else? :noidea:

Not exactly. He was pissed he got sent here because he trusted his GM in Philly and got slapped in the face, and he was enough of a dick about it here that the team decided they didn't want him. He didn't specifically cry *about* Columbus. He would have been the same on any team that his Hookers and Coke buddy Richards wasn't on.

Have I told you guys my Jeff Carter story?!?

Fuck Jeff Carter.

The End

Do work in my lab?

If I recall, he got traded after he signed his big contract? As was Richards, right? Makes much more sense.

Yeah, both him and Richards got deals and the proverbial "You're my BOY Blue!" from Holmgren. Then he traded both days before their NTCs went into effect.

I don't blame him one bit for being pissed. I do blame him for not trying while he was here.

I understand leaving Sid off rosters for creating four lines based on a complete team, but saying it's because he's petulant and a bad energy is hilarious. Hell, even when the guy has won, it's never because of him, right?

<sarcasm>He's just riding the coattails of other players, pix</sarcasm>

He set the tone in Sochi and that also included a constant rotation of linemates. I'd say he was one of Canada's top forwards in the tourney.

I'm just constantly floored by how the criticism changes with circumstances.

Has anybody selected Matt Cooke for a winger? Addition by subtraction (subtraction of player(s) on the opposing team's bench)

This looks like a pretty good one. I'll post my own either tonight or tomorrow, I've gotta think about the last few spots. One thing I'm surprised by is that Rask hasn't been mentioned by anyone.

Appreciate it. I might not have enough screening the goalie type players but I thought the playmakers to scorers and defensive upside of the players would win out.
