I don't have a problem with it, but just feedback for you, I don't think your jokes come across as jokes to most people most of the time. Maybe a little too dry for written internet humor.I mean the Secondary Smith was a joke that I still don't get how people didn't realize was a joke in the context. He had a not very impressive start of the year then completely dominated for 4 months and was playing at a level higher than Celebrini was during the same timeframe.
I mean they literally rolled 4 lines last year. I must have watched like 10-15 of the games, including all the big ones, and they very rarely moved off their 4 line rotation. It was almost always Cutter's line, Smith's line, then the next two lines in order. When Perreault was injured, it was still a 4 line roll. I know this because I would typically skim thru the non-Smith shifts. EDIT: because I can see what's coming next... OF COURSE the scoring was top heavy. That's hockey. However the 3rd and 4th lines were still solid puck possession lines. BC rarely got caved in. And the lines were rolled.And don't really know what you're talking about with rolling 4 lines, but depth was BC's biggest weakness by far last year. The bottom 6 minus Malone only combined for 12 goals on the year, and when Perreault went out they got absolutely nothing from anybody besides Smith, Gauthier, and Leonard besides Malone having a good game against UConn.
I mean, in the same series of posts you compared Smith to Curry, best shooter of all time, maybe one of the best players of all time, and Celebrini to Westbrook, a very good but nowhere near historical player. You can't expect people to take you seriously when in one sentence you say "I was making a joke with the Secondary Smith thing for two months, duh, how come people are so dense" and then you make that kind of comparison in good faith. Unless it's also a joke, in which case, it seems like everything is a joke, which again is fine, but in that case, don't expect anyone to take anything you say seriously.I didn't say puck hog I said puck dominant, which is exactly how Toffoli described his game a couple days ago?
