Yes, we know you hate Toronto, the leafs and the fans and despise a London knight being picked by them, you keep saying it which is why none of the leafs fans here give a f*** about your opinion on the player, even if you're trying/ pretending you're not bias.
Also if it's not directed at me, don't say it to me. I'm not all leafs fans so your whining about them is equally as meaningless as our opinions are to you lol.
Yeah, I already said that it wasn't directed at you. Just because I quote you doesn't mean I'm solely talking to you. And I don't despise a Knight being picked by the Leafs. I'm glad they're getting an opportunity. Toronto hasn't always been the best at developing prospects but they've given guys like the Ruperts a chance when sure as shit no one else did. I'm happy for a Knight to get picked by f***ing anyone. Nothing is guaranteed in the NHL.
And I'm definitely not biased against Cowan. If anything I'm biased for him. I try and be realistic and not a huge homer about my teams prospects. And I try to not say things about a prospect I know nothing about. I watch a LOT of OHL games every year. The year Cowan was drafted, I watched way more hockey games than I ever had before, including all of the Knights games like I do pretty much every year. I have strong opinions about that draft because of that.
Again, Cowan is a great player. I never said he wasn't. Yeah, you're right that I hate Leafs fans, but that doesn't influence me about my viewings in a whole other league, and honestly doesn't influence me in my player evaluations at all. I think Marner is getting the short end of the stick in Toronto from the fans and has played way better than people give him credit for. I think Matthews is an elite goalscorer who has the chance to come close to record breaking potential. I think Knies will be a fantastic prospect and player for them. I love to watch the Leafs team fail, yes, but I don't dislike any of their players or have a bias against them.
I don't really care if you don't give a shit about my opinions, I've already said I came here to provide information about Cowan primarily because I know damn well not everyone in the Leafs fanbase has the time or ability to watch every Knights game like I do. If you disagree with my opinion, great! I'm always open to a dialog about a player and I acknowledge when I'm proven wrong. I love talking hockey in general, especially with people who are knowledgeable and put a lot of time and effort into it. That's another reason why my posts are often very long. If you think I shouldn't discuss a prospect I've seen a lot and have strong opinions about, like every other Knight player and a lot of other prospects I've seen a lot, feel free to ignore me. But this is a message board primarily for discussion and I'm going to keep doing it.
Admittedly I could have not posted the message in here that started it all but I was told to move the discussion to this thread instead, so I did. Sorry so many people are upset with that, I guess.
