Easily Hronek.

Why do you feel you need to ask?

Just trying to show to one of the posters which dman is better based on the view of HFboard posters.

 

[Diamonddog01]

This is Hronek, and it’s not particularly close.

 

[DJJones]

This feels like a personal attack on someone

 

[Three On Zero]

This is easily Hronek, based both on skill and contract

 

[BKarchitect]

Bad faith poll. Congrats, you proved a crazy Oilers homer is a crazy Oilers homer, I guess?

 

[Rowlet]

Hronek is a #2-3, Nurse is a #6-7

 

[Three On Zero]

The fact it’s even a poll is silly in its own. Let’s poll McDavid VS. JT Miller next!

How so? I was called biased and so I decided to make a poll and see if I am biased or if I am actually right. (I know am right but this other person thinks am biased due to being a Canuck fan). I guess this poll will take the bias out since other NHL fans who are not Canucks fans are voting.

So ya you are attacking a random specific user

Gotta check to see if you're biased somehow

Sure if a Canucks fan ever said McDavid is better than Miller and you wanted to prove them wrong, you can make that poll. That is the whole purpose of the poll subsection in this forum. It can be random, it can be due to interest or it can be used to prove a person wrong or right.

How is it attacking? Did i even name them? Its just a poll to see who is right when it comes to facts. That is all, no harm done.

Do you not trust your eyeballs that Hronek is better than Nurse? Do you honestly think people would choose Nurse over Hronek? Why run to the polls forum to get a result you already know is true? Why be so insecure about it?

If you say the sky is blue and some crazy person says it is green, do you need to run to some popular opinion poll to feel like you are right? Why do you feel such a need to be vindicated on proving that some crazy outlier is…some crazy outlier?

PS - the person you are trying to prove a point to will never admit that they are “proven wrong” by a popular opinion poll…

Well if you see the poll, 4 people disagree with you sometimes its fun to see how those crazies vote too

Hronek is also a RD which is harder to come by, a top pairing RD or a bottom pairing LD that makes more, tough decision…

 

[Coffee]

disrespectful poll imo

 

[Burt Macklin]

I'm a little surprised this is as close as it is.

 

[NyQuil]

I'm a little surprised this is as close as it is.

I voted for Nurse because it's a stupid poll.

 

[Three On Zero]

I voted for Nurse because it's a stupid poll.

I’m voting for whomever @NyQuil votes for.

To be fair, Nurse is not a bottom pairing LD…he’s 3rd in ice time on the team so far this year and was #1 or #2 for several years before this year. You can argue where he’d be on another team, but without him ever playing on another team it would be a total guess. I think he’s actually been a pretty good player and has simply been complained about because of his salary

He's been a below average player relative to his teammates the past 3 seasons, this season at ES, his CorsiRel is -8.7, and his FenwickRel is -6.6. He may be 3rd in ice time but that's only because the Oilers defense is a mess.

Dermott and Stecher are both also equally terrible, so at least he's not solely to blame, but having such low Rel stats while two other D are also playing that bad is concerning.

Well if Three On Zero is voting Nurse, then I'll vote Nurse !
