Why so angry?
WTF

I am not defending him. I was correcting a false statement.
Ok, I will cut back on the coffee.
Can we agree that it does not seem like yesterday he was drafted like Pierre says? I feel like this guy played with Ron Greschner for crying out loud. His career is in reverse dog years. It feels like he's been on this team for seven years each season that goes by.
 
I’ll get raked over the coals but I think ADA is better than Fox in virtually every aspect of hockey.
I disagree, but I think DeAngelo is better at everything other than defensive hockey IQ. They are pretty close in many things though. Like for example, offensive hockey IQ. Pretty even. Both have great poise and vision, but Fox’s poise is nuts. Either way, DeAngelo is my favorite player in the league and Fox is 2nd, so it’s sort of like choosing between two of my kids who I like more.

Freaking bizarro world. Our bottom 2 lines are playing much better than our top 2 lines.

I can't tell if we're having a bad game or of Boston is just that good defensively.
 
The cumulative individual difference in puck control and handling skills between the two teams is noticeable.
 
Fox is slower, less physical, worse gap control, can’t get the puck out of our zone like ADA can. As you saw when he got hemmed in while we were on the PP
Fox has much better defensive awareness and is better defensively overall as a consequence. DeAngelo is a step above offensively though.

I don't think they are nearly as similar players as most seem to think they are, that's why one does not make the other redundant.

Parents are at the game and said the Bruins look twice as fast. They're just a much better team, it's not an effort issue.

It’s because we have a finesse top-6 that forces plays against stingy defensive teams. This team needs to learn to keep it simple. They’ll get there.
 
We aren’t getting blown out and the goal against was pretty fluky. We just aren’t getting good chances against a better team. Tough game.
 
I have no idea why he should be absolved of any criticism. This is the best team in the league. Let’s see him do something. That’s why you pay him 11 million, right?
You are complaining about a guy having the best offensive season for our team in 15 years. A guy who has 77 pts in 56 games with Strome and Fast as his line mates. You aren't going to find a lot of people on your side.
