Hate is a strong word and dumb under the circumstances. The disrespect he has faced on this board is ridiculous. He is a pro, had a career in the show, beat an addiction is a family man...the lack of respect is beyond the pale. It's this shit that makes Philly fans look like douches.

That trade was hilariously bad even at the time. Melynk didn’t want to pay Zibanejad’s upcoming extension.
Compared to his first three games here, yeah.Similar?
Nate Thompson needs to be shot to the moon. Woof that guy sucks ass.
This is just common sense that I'm sure everyone understands, but they're playing dumb in order to throw a fit over the criticism.Nobody hates or dislikes (if the first word is too strong for your liking) the person. They dislike the player. These are separate things.
This is just deflection to ignore that Thompson isn’t particularly good at the NHL level at this stage in his career.

Agreed. Patrick?Compared to his first three games here, yeah.
Although in Anaheim he was 4C and here he's been be 3C, which is just asking too much. I think he'd do much better as 4C with Raffl and NAK.
If he could come back then it'd be perfect but until then I want Frost up.Agreed. Patrick?
So because he is a pro, played for years in the NHL, is a family man, and battled an addiction we're not supposed to comment that he's a bad hockey player? None of us dislike Nate Thompson the guy, we dislike Nate Thompson the hockey player. Just because he is a good guy doesn't mean he should be protected from criticism. See one, Chris Stewart.
A lot of talk here about the old-new PP unit (which is obviously humming because you'd have to be a chain smoking puppet with a botched lobotomy, or a lover of those puppets, to not realize that wrong side unit was a hideous looking overreaction)........but Voracek has been instrumental, if not leading the charge. Shoutout the "get him off PP1 for a sniper" peeps. He didn't luck his way into top 10 PP production for much of a decade. High degree difficulty east-west passes are still the Holy Grail of PPs.
NAK now has 3 PP points, including 2 goals. Fun fact: he never scored a PP goal in the AHL in 229 games. He's probably seen more PP time in 1/3 of an NHL season than in all that AHL time. Your scoring depth is on the weaker side if he's getting regular NHL PP time (surprises me they never use Laughton in the slot), but all you can do is laugh really and praise development. 33 point pace.
Ooh, were white knighting for Thompson now? Ah, the contrarianism never sleeps.
