Beef was claiming that Hakstol’s system is bad for Simmonds because it keeps the wingers pinned to the boards on point shots. I disputed his argument that the system discourages crease traffic by wingers, & instead contended the system should be good for Simmonds at ES because it stresses garbage goals in front off screens, tips, & rebounds.
The game started, & the Flyers wings were immediately creating traffic at the net. And then Olczyk started talking about how the Flyers’ system is designed to create traffic at the net. So I called out Beef in the GDT about his erroneous system claims. Someone said that Beef wouldn’t be responding because he had said he had a funeral to attend that conflicted with the game time. Could’ve fooled me considering he had just been debating with me about the offensive system in another thread up to a few minutes before the game. But I didn’t know he wasn’t watching the game or at a funeral or I wouldn’t have asked him about things that were going on. Then he did end up posting in the GDT.
Now he’s alleging I “bash[ed] [him] for having a friend’s kid die.”
That’s a gross & ludicrous misrepresentation. I bashed him for being flat out wrong about the Flyers’ offensive system.
