Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

It's not criticism. It's trolling.

It totally is the opposite of trolling but you’re just too sensitive about this subject.

The Habs are garbage. They have no chance of not being garbage. And their relatively old team is getting older and worse each year. The proper move is to blow it up and build something that has a chance to compete. Locking up older talent is the opposite of what they should be doing.

These are basic facts, not a troll job.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

The truth is LoF is very afraid that the Habs improve and his team of 8 figure forwards don't.

No, not really.

 

[Habsy]

Yes really. You hate the Habs more than you love the Leafs.

How are those night sweats going anyway? You get to a doctor about them?

So easy to do in the flat cap years.

Signing Petry to a 4 year deal was a good move. We shall see who is right and who is wrong.

You love talking about trading proven players for unknowns like the players you receive will be better than the one you let go.

Prove to me empirically that Petry is not a good defenseman at 32 or even 33. You can't. You are simply using ageism because you can't analyze a deal to save your life.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Uh, I kinda don’t care. I just find it amusing and shocking that that train just keeps going to destination nowhere.

 

[Habsy]

LoF would rather see the Habs toil instead of the Leafs win. We all know fans like him.

Who’s talking about whether he’s good or not?

The issue is whether there’s any value to your team in him being a good player for you.

 

[zeke]

But still ends when he's 37. Ergo, he's 32. Not 33. Not 34. Not whatever the next age assigned to him is (unless it's 32).

The number two is out, unless then proceeded by the number three. The number 5 is right out.

this was his 32yr old season. next year his 33yr old season. season 1 of his deal is age 34.

Sorry, care-o-meter is hovering around zero.

It's ownership.

If you even bothered to ask, no Habs fan here likes the Molson ownership but like everyone does in the politics thread, you live by what should be, not what is. I don't know how old people have to get to understand you deal with all issues under the parameters you're given not fantasy land.

You guys love living in fantasy land, I live in the real world. Molson will NEVER rebuild. EVER. We know that, it's a thousand cuts to us. Regurgitating the shit is not only banal but straight up imbecilic.

Then why celebrate and defend an obviously stupid move?

He will be 37 when his deal is done.

Because as a fan you would like to see them win more than they lose. It's called enjoying the game. If I wasn't a fan I would walk away because I know Molson sucks ass as an owner. You should have seen me go off on it after they bought the team again. I had a legendary meltdown because I knew they would put them right back into mediocrity like they were when Molson sold them to Gillett. It was Gillett that brought them back and then sold them back to Molson for more than double what he bought them for. Again, stupidity by Molson.

I watch sports for a distraction from the every day and you want to see your team win once in a while.

I don't see anyone better than Petry available to the Habs for $6.25M or less. Remember, he wants to play in Montreal where many others do not.

You will be wrong about Petry, he will age well. I have little doubt.

Now Tatar and Gallagher is another story.

Why do you keep agreeing with me? I said he'll be 37 when the contract ends a few times now.

 

[CH1]

Petry is the least of the Habs worries.

 

[Habsy]

He really has been remarkably healthy and is close to the peak of his game. Some players just mature later. He's one of them.

you disagreed with me - he's 34 in year 1.

How can I be wrong about Petry aging well or not? I haven’t opined on that at all.

I’m saying the Habs are stupid to not trade him, which they are, and which you apparently agree with deep down.

All you’re saying is that you know your management is incompetent and will never do the right thing and rebuild, and you just want to enjoy hockey and have players you like. Nothing wrong with that.

Behind all your aggression and attacks, seems like you agree with me, so I’m glad we can be friends again.
