But my point was, he clearly carried his own pairing in Detroit.

Before he got traded to Vancouver, he was the #2 RHD on a team with two good dmen (both RHD).

Detroit didn’t want to commit to him, as they already have a solid #1 RD, so they traded him.

I have yet to see a compelling argument that he wasn’t successfully carrying the second pair in Detroit for the 60 games he played in the season that he was traded to us.

I think the reason they play him with Hughes is because he doesn’t just throw the pick to his partner’s side, the way Myers does. This saves Hughes a lot of wear and tear.

I haven't even addressed you, I believe. Nor had at any point I believe addressed Wisp. I dunno, I smoked a lot of pot in my time and I had ADHD to begin with so...I'm not writing Hronek off, I've only been saying he ain't first 3 months Hronek, and he ain't this year Hronek. He's somewhere in between IN MY OPINION. I can't believe I have to clarify that any further than I already had, but c'est la vie.

And I don't have any problem debating anyone and discussing topics. Never have. But I always felt that if a poster gives his own personal take, it's implied that it is from their POV. The facts are the hockey games. That single preceding sentence was never addressed because I felt it was so crystal clear it was part of the social contract of posting on message boards.

If anyone would like to dispute what *I* see, go ahead and educate me. I welcome it with open arms, and I have conviction that posters who know me well and personally, and have posted here for seasons and seasons, games and games, would have seen that. However,

I find it disrespectful to not at least put in the effort to engage when the effort is dispensed. Fart out all thought-terminating one-liners and '?' you want. Your effort will receive an equal and opposite effort. I'm not here to play your English teacher and explain what a metaphor is. GIGO - garbage in, garbage out.

The guy who broke the mikheyev trade (van to chi) just said this:



He’s apparently got some Chicago connections and for all it’s worth it could be what Chicago is proposing.

Would be weird.

Y’all are getting real closer to moderation intervention. Might want to reign it in.
