20 goals, 47 points, Conor Garland is suddenly very tradeable and also very untradeable.

He didn't work out.So you're saying he's a Schrodinger's hockey player?
If EP40 is a no show in the playoffs you have to start shopping him around. Dude is a massive dud on the ice right now.
Lol that’s not remotely trueNobody is taking him at that cap hit.
I think theirs still a lot of GMs's that would take him, but we may have to retain some salary or take back a player who is has a very high skill set but is unable to lead his current team to any success.Nobody is taking him at that cap hit.
You said a poor evaluation of EP’s play means you don’t know what you’re watching. I disagreed and said he’s been bad against high intensity teams this year. You said he was still responsible defensively (which you haven’t qualified or quantified) and a few other posters said he and Hughes still produced, so I posted their counting stats to prove he hasn’t. You claimed I stat watch (I’ve watched every single game this year despite living in Toronto) and I provided some qualitative critiques. Another poster became obsessed with the level of hockey I played, presumably because it makes them feel reassured that I don’t know what I’m talking about. I played AAA and a few games for Surrey in the BCHL, I was nothing special and accordingly didn’t pursue a career in hockey. That information is irrelevant.

I think that’s a pretty fair summary of the last few pages, let me know if you disagree.
somewhat similar story for me on game 7 with calgary. i was on a water taxi up the coast out of lund. we delayed in the bar watching grainy cbc ubut eventually the driver wanted to go so when the first overtime ended we had to go. we had a big boom box with radio reception on the dock and again when we landed but nothing in the tin boat. somewhere on the boat trip bure scored and robson was still in the moment when we landed. i had to wait days to see the replay.It was the greatest spring of my life.
I was a commercial diver and contracted out to a fish farm on an island in the Broughton Archipelago. We stayed in a work camp and every day after work I caught rockfish and Dungeness crab and washed it down with beer at dinner time and watched the games. We got only one channel on the TV but thankfully it was the CBC and the picture wasn't too bad.
When my 8-day shift would end I'd drive back down-island heading home to Port Coquitlam where my girlfriend was waiting for me and for the load of Dungeness crab she insisted I bring home. I remember getting off the ferry at Horseshoe Bay and I was at the corner of Hastings and Highway 1 right near the PNE and the Pacific Coliseum. We had just clinched the conference. The game had just ended and the corner of Hastings and Highway 1 was insane. No one gave a shit about the traffic lights. It was just a huge celebration. People blocking traffic, girls hanging out car windows. I was high as a kite and totally sober.
Game 7 against the Rangers was a total boondoggle though. It was shift end again and the weather was bad so the crew boat was late picking us up. We didn't want to travel back down-island and miss the game. We just wanted to get to the bar in Port McNeil and watch the game and then grab a room for the night after the game was over. We missed the first period and a half but we finally made it to the bar. Then things went from bad to worse. The projector screen would heat up and shut down about every 5 minutes so we'd then have to all crowd around the single little TV over the bar. Then maybe 10 minutes later the projector TV would kick back in and we'd move back to general seating and watch the game on the big screen. Five minutes later the projector conks out again and we're back to the little TV. It was the worst possible ending to the magical run for the Stanley Cup.
It was all so good and all so promising... until it wasn't.
Nah, you're way off.At this point, no one is arguing about anything in the topic. It's just arguing about the argument. So I think we can move on.
It would be a shame to have to block another user but it’s my choice to not read this type of stuff.If EP40 is a no show in the playoffs you have to start shopping him around. Dude is a massive dud on the ice right now.

If you think paying somebody to be a no show when it matters most is reason for you to block me then I think you should. We probably wouldn't align on most things.It would be a shame to have to block another user but it’s my choice to not read this type of stuff.

I thought this was the thread about nothing
He really has evolved his game to be more direct and now he can actually play with top6 guys like Miller and Petey. I think it's fine to say that he is now a top6 guy even if he is playing on the 3rd line, especially if Lindholm can keep up with his form and be a close to PPG center for that line.20 goals, 47 points, Conor Garland is suddenly very tradeable and also very untradeable.
Nobody is taking him at that cap hit.
