Best player in the world: 2015

[Bouboumaster]

Watch hockey? You're doing it wrong. You just gotta ask a bunch of people to see who they think is the best. That's what matters.

I think the answer was pretty straight forward IMO

Cleary you are referring to the 12 votes for Kane in this thread.

I mean heck he came in 4th in all star voting that year...for RWers

Which is perfectly fine for the '14-'15 season.

And completely irrelevant for any other season.

Doesn't this offend your opinion on popularity?

but don't worry most of us can see through the arguments, or rather lack of foundation of thsoe arguments.

And completely irrelevant for any other season.

Sure why would ANYTHING that happened before the 15-16 season matter like at all eh?

That must be why the thread title is "who had the best season in 14-15"

Are you lost? This is the '14-'15 thread, bud.

Well it's certainly not the "who had good seasons between '10-'14 so we can give them the crown for the '14-'15 season" thread.

You really need to read the context of the exact quote I'm referring to there but then again context isn't your forte.

I don't even understand what you are trying to say here but either way I don't really care anymore.

Luckily others bring decent argument to consider in these threads.

I understand the context. You are missing the context of my post. You are trying to pull the '15-'16 discussion into the '14-'15 thread. That's completely nonsensical.

When determining the best player of '14-'15, you look at what they did and how well they played in the '14-'15 season.

Because guess what... just because someone was good in one year, doesn't mean they are equally good the next. The level of their play can decline. And the inverse is also true, players can get better from one year to the next. That's why we are discussing who was best from year to year and not half decade to half decade.

Just because many aren’t voting for the person you are voting for doesn’t mean they are struggling with anything. They are following the basic guidelines of the poll, who was the best THAT season. Get a clue.

What an incredibly rude comment. You really think this proves your right on the matter? Seriously, go find a hobby.

EDIT: love that you’re laughing at your own ridiculousness. The first step is always acceptance and you should accept that your comment was nothing short douche like.

I don’t think it being on Page 7 of the now previous poll is going to help as much as you hope.

I advise spreading it far and wide across social media instead.

And again, if you read what I posted and think that the purpose was only about the year in question then you clearly are struggling. It is what it is, but you’ve regularly shown that you have trouble with basic reading comprehension

Well you plus the two who can’t read responded within minutes so I think it spread enough.

He’s just upset people aren’t voting for his favorite player. He complains people don’t get it yet can’t see the hypocrisy that he’s simply angry that people won’t agree that his favorite player is the best because he says so.

I’m sorry I don’t think your favorite player was the best after 2014. It must really twist you up inside huh.

Is that supposed to represent you busting your nut over McDavid highlights again?

On the off chance they might mingle with the rest of you lot further down the line? f*** that... humanity isn't worth propagating.

Never mind the intent of the thread I've made up my mind and everyone else is wrong.....can't wait for 2017...well yes some of us can.

I'm sure using the play from '13-'14 to justify your vote for '14-'15 was the intent of the thread. Which is why it's named "Best player in the world: 2015, but vote based on the play of the previous 3 seasons as that information is more important than anything that actually happened in 2015."

So for you it's an either for thing otherwise known as best season.

I have gone through my process in how I select the best player in the world which you have not only ignored but miscararaterized.

I could ask you to go back and re read it but you seem more concerned with your narrow narrative and point of view.

Put plainly at the end of the season Crosby is the player most people would want going into the following season among position players.

I'm fully aware who was most popular going into the season...

Just as I'm sure a hefty chunk of people thought that Matthews was the best player heading into the '22-'23 season. The play of '22-'23 proved out who was the best player that year. Not '21-'22. Not '20-'21. Not the play of the current season. But the play of '22-'23.

You have a really bad habit of pretending to know how and why other people vote even when called out on it.

But it appears to be a condition beyond repair.

You prefer the pre-season polls to pick the best player of that season. I prefer to judge based on their play on the ice that season.

One is good for judging popularity and the other is good for ability.

You are voting for best season the idea of best player in the world has more nuance than stat and trophy counting.

Heck the OP even included it his initial post but you already know that and just refuse to acknowledge it.
