GDT: 1/22 Canes vs Flyers - Time Warp!

[Anton Dubinchuk]

jgusta21 -> Anton Dubinchuk

I've kept it pretty simple, most probably don't even remember me as jgusta21...

EDIT: I was briefly "Andon Dubinchuk" when we did our name change thing, but I changed it after 15 minutes through a mod.

I was about to call you out on the Andon thing. Damn.


Anyways, most people know mine, but just in case:

ClemsonCaniac -> PublicEnemy -> Head Goose.

I believe I went:

LaRoseByAnyOtherName > Blueline Bomber > Anton Bomb > Blueline Bomber

Ha! Got you guys talking about Larose. I seriously didn't intend to imply that they were the EXACT same player. I just mean that in terms of role and perhaps getting more minutes than they probably should. I also think that Larose isn't getting a lot of credit for his speed and puck skills. They weren't as strong as Gerbe's, but they weren't total crap either. But in terms of tangible production in the goals and assists column, they're in the same general area. I'm not a fan of advanced stats pulled from totally different teams and applied to current players. Just making a casual observation about how Gerbe became Buffalo's Chad Larose and got bought out. Injury had a lot to do with that too.

I am a fan of the kid. When he came over I was happy. I'm still happy with him. I just caution against the assumption that he's even teetering on the edge of being a good second line player. In an ideal world, he'd be part of a really strong 3rd line instead of the role he has been forced into by necessity here.

I went:

HurricaneInCalgary --> Jussi Trollinen --> Semin In The Eye (this lasted about an hour before I was swarmed by a herd of angry mods ) --> Jussi Trollinen (name was changed back) --> Carolinas Identity

Also, with all the Chad talk, I feel it necessary to remind you that:

 

[Brock Anton]

You really went with 'Semin in the Eye' for a bit?

Eggy21 --> Triple Axel --> Brock Anton

My ideal world is a Dwyer/Sutter/Gerbe 3rd line (lacks size, but oh well)

Yeah, I had it all figured out. I changed my avatar to a picture of Semin standing at a cash register in "The Eye", the team store.

So, Semin was literally, in the eye. Still didn't fly though. Was called "Highly Inappropriate" or some such

Someone else (I forget who) briefly changed their name to "Seminal Velocity" and I suggested they also change their user title to "28 mph"

That one didn't last very long either

By the way, all you stat heads, Pete just called you out. Prolly reading this thread.

If it a choice between looking at numbers on a computer screen or closely observing the athlete. I know what choice I will make.

If you cannot be positive then at least be quiet.

YOU HEAR THAT, PEOPLE?

We have a 50% chance to win the Cup. Either we'll win it, or we won't.

There's your positivity. WOOOOOO!!!!!

Since this turned into a board history/LaRose -thread I thought I'd share what would've been the next in my line of Chad avatars if he had stayed with the team for another season.

So he's taking a strong stance in favor of advanced stats?

Sweet Chad o' Mine!

[Alexander the Gr8]

you should google 28 mph

I know what it is. I wonder if Semin wearing 28 is purely coincidental...

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Only when he achieves "Seminal Velocity"

Actually, that's no laughing matter, I apologise. If he was in "The Eye" at that speed, he could blind someone
