Trolls used to be funny

Comedy used to be legal.

 

[Star Platinum]

So he didn’t learn what he was supposed to learn on the first one, and the team played better defensively without him.

He didn't show up for treatment

Wrong player, that was walman this is about michkov

Years from now, future hockey fans will look at the stats and suggest that Ovechkin was better than Crosby, or at the least that they were the same. To the contemporary fan, Crosby is the superior player.

All around player absolutely, but Ovechkin is arguably the greatest goal scorer ever.

 

[Hodge]

Tortorella literally used the word "development" in his media availability when talking about the scratch the first time

If it's no big deal for Smith to be scratched then it's the same deal for Michkov, this isn't news

Smith is explicitly not being scratched for performance reasons while Michkov is. Don't pretend it's the same thing.

Watch Torts' presser, he says the same thing the Sharks have said, "it's a process", "it's about development", "young guys can watch the game and learn", you're contradicting the words coming straight from the coach's mouth

How do you explain him being scratched two games in a row though? He watched the game, why can't he be allowed to apply it immediately?

He nodded off midway through the second period and didn't see the whole game.

It was a joke.

Philadelphia is a poorly run organization

Philadelphia is a poorly run organization

You're contradicting the decisions coming straight from the coach's brain

 

[weastern bias]

You're contradicting the decisions coming straight from the coach's brain

These are not contradictions

You have said they are scratching him for performance reasons, directly contradicting their statements

I have said they are managing him poorly by scratching him multiple games in a row for development purposes, which does not contradict their statements, I simply disagree with their process

You're assuming a 30 second clip of Torts being vague means Michkov is scratched as part of some development plan when the simplest explanation is that he had 1 assist and was -3 in the 5 games prior to the first scratch. Philly has proceeded to play their two best games of the season without him. The little guy is just not a NHL player outside the power play.

Yes, I, the one taking someone at their word, am the one making assumptions

I assume you mean he's not an NHL player yet, outside the power play.

 

[Lebanezer]

It's kind of crazy that Michael Sgarbossa is still getting games in the NHL.

Prime Ovechkin was equal to prime Crosby. Totally different players and Crosby aged better in some ways, but Ovechkin is arguably the best goalscorer in history.

Is it a "process" or a "pro-cess"? Definite difference there.

Torts is American, he doesn't insist on pronouncing every vowel sound incorrectly like a certain northern neighbor does so incessantly
