So if someone ate McDonald’s every day for a year and dies of a heart attack, would you say that we can’t say for certain what caused the heart attack, it could have happened regardless?

1. You really think it’s a good analogy to compare eating McDonald’s every day for a year & dying to starting 23 hockey games & suffering an injury?

Holy cow. (Pun intended.)

2. But it would be wrong to assume McDonald’s caused the heart attack without more information, & to claim that anyone who said you couldn’t be sure was saying one of the stupidest things you ever heard. What else did he eat? Did he have a congenital defect? Did he never exercise? Did he smoke? Drink? Drugs? Had he been unhealthy as a kid?

Did I say I was comparing them or that they are relative? Just a general question to see where your head is at.

Science is a liar, sometimes....

This is Aristotle,

He's thought to be the smartest man on the planet. He believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and everybody believed him because he was so smart...

Until another smartest guy came around, Galileo.

He disproved that theory. Making a Aristotle and everybody else on earth look like a *****. Of course, Galileo then thought comets were an optical illusion and there's no way the Moon could cause the ocean's tides. Everybody believed that because he was so smart. He was also, WRONG. Making him and everyone else on Earth look like a ***** again.

And then, best of all Sir Issac Newton gets born.

He blows everybody's nips off with his big brains. Of course, he also thought that he could turn metal into gold and died eating mercury. Making him yet another.... STUPID *****.

Are you seeing a pattern?

No?

These were all of the smartest scientists on the planet. Only problem is they kept being WRONG...sometimes.

If this is an attempt to make at least one thread not about Hagg.. well done, but shove it

It’s a nice change of pace to just sit on the sidelines once in a while.

 

[Beef Invictus]

At least we don't have Martin Erat.

Don’t act like you didn’t try to get involved

 

[ajgoal]

I know I can't have been the only person watching Elliott play in the latter half of December and yelling at the TV, "That guy needs a game off!" It was painfully obvious with his body positioning. His glove was sagging. Everything about his game said, "Tired Goalie."

 

[Striiker]

Don’t act like you didn’t try to get involved

Sure, I tossed in my 2 cents, but I’d say I was predominantly in the peanut gallery.

Compared to my usual involvement, it was a nice vacation.

I figured all main roles were already taken, so my stupid ass posting paragraphs would have only made things worse.

 

[deadhead]

Right you are. Self knowledge is a wonderful thing.

Hypothetical:
Team is up by one with three minutes left on the clock.
Top pair just came off the ice and Hakstol has Karlsson, Amac, Hagger and Manning at his disposal. Who does he send out?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Was watching some high lights of games the other day, slowly got madder and madder at this stupid f*** as every goal against was Manning, Torgo and FLip. So happy 2 of those losers have been taken away.

Made room for Haks new losers

Love that EK would't be on the top pair !!!!

That’s an easy one.

Mac and Manning.

Good point that's a bit of a stretch. But then again so is Amac not being on top pair.

 

[FLYguy3911]

What’s Karlsson’s +/-?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Fakstol is singlehandedly making this fanbase loose their mind. Pennsylvania chamber of psychology rejoice!

Lose their minds? I never think about him at any point of my day until I read it here. I used to let things like that push me over the edge. Not anymore. I have much more important things to worry about.
I realize it wasn’t totally serious, but quite honestly when I am on this site I wonder just how much it affects peoples lives.
No offense to anyone.

Making fun of that doofus really helps.

Congrats to Hakstol!!!

He is about to be voted in as the 29th best head coach in the NHL. Too bad Housley and Blashill!!

B-b-but he led his team to the playoffs.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

That’s an easy one.

Mac and Manning.

triple shifted to close out the loss

 

[Striiker]

triple shifted to close out the loss

Of course.

He had no choice, after all.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

Of course.

He had no choice, after all.

"sure we could have tried something.. but instead we just survived for the next shift..."

i think that qoute perfectly encapsulates why Hak will never be a good NHL coach.. he just not wired for it.

 

[Tripod]

I heard Hakstol loved the use of Joey Hicketts in the 2016 WJC.
