@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese My issue is that when playing with high vibes a team can look 'tough' but the exact same roster can look soft in slumps. For instance I dont think Vegas usually has top tier fighters/knockout hitters, they just have a "finish your check" culture. Boqvist throwin body this season.

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese I really liked Bahl's presence and was sad to lose him so Im sure Im going to feel similarly about Silaev, but you and I just won't see eye to eye about how important it is to have one huge hitter. Having everyone bought into a playstyle is the secret sauce to me.

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese It depends on how you define elite. If elite is like top 2/3 tiers of player then probably not. Nico wouldnt fit in there either. Theyre not far behind though. Like a C tier star.

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese You chose to use "he hit them like they were lightweights" as the only measuring stick... hence the comparison to another player that does similar... id think it more important to talk about his skating and game IQ, which looked solid in game 1.

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese Ive heard his podcasts but a) could be misremembering/forgetting parts. And b) only started listening within the past year so maybe youre referring to stuff before I started listening. Its called hedging. Im still pretty confident i understand JPs takes better than you.

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese If harder to play against isnt just winning - please tell me what youre seeing that implies we're "harder to play against." Bonus points for tangible statistics albeit I assume youre an "eye test only" kind of guy.

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese Again-oversimplified.There's a lot more that goes into this stuff than you seem acknowledge. JPGs takes are more nuanced than you lead on. You CAN be happy with the moneyball approach but-once you see how the team is playing&what assets were given up be happy with helle trade.

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese 2 of 2: I just dont like the way you (seem to) look at hockey. If Silaev ends up huge for our team it wont be just the hits itll be because he rounds out his game nicely. Rempe hit guys like they were flyweights too and he can't crack lineups anymore.

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese I cant tell you with tons of confidence its just that JPG seems pretty measured and stays away from hyperbole. My GUESS is JPG said something like "could be high ceiling but I dont see him putting everything together. More likely to be a Tyler Meyers than Chada."

@ManitobaKaren @jp_gambatese You dont know puck

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@jp_gambatese @Liamfitzy87 New coach or new GM bumps are real. As much as Im dead set that A) this success is sustainable and B) we're in a much different place than last year - Its fair for others to be skeptical imo.

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@MrWhite1079 @jp_gambatese Homie that Vlad guy had the best game score last game - a single game sample size isnt the slam dunk you think it is. If you concede jpg only didnt like the pick relative to other options, you need data from the other options before saying hes wrong...

@Ch0_0Yu @ZugamiOG This qualifies as harassment to you? LOL. At least show us stuff that went to her inbox :/

@RobhRyan @wpghomes @DonLagreca Is this your first week being human? I assume Im interacting with a bot but yes - interacting with someone as a fan with pure intentions is not shitty weird behavior. Heckling athletes outside of a sports venue while theyre not playing their sport is weird as fuck. Clearly you.

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@Drew321 @MissNicoletta @MauroJorgfanII Kovalchuk did not retire from hockey, no. And our team was handicapped significantly.

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@gay_lobotomite @enemycharlie Ive read through a lot of replies here and havent seen anyone defend "kys". Have you?

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@enemycharlie @Ithaca7080 Maybe not all of them if youre getting spammed but it seems most people agree this guy is a huge loser - so why not put the most egregious 10 on blast?

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@DrThunderdome @enemycharlie @general_autis Thats ddg, no?

[Cody Hastings @Has83674747Cody]

@RobhRyan @wpghomes @DonLagreca What are you going on about? Asking if an athlete you hate is staying in a certain place is fucking weird behavior if its not a joke. Are you comparing it to fans who wanna see athletes they like/get shit signed?...
