@nyjetshistory@Big_Ez29@Poppyvces@NcSportsFan94@palIomnjh@thesportsgully It’s actually not a suburb of NYC? At all…. It’s a borough of Bergen county, NJ. you’re confusing it with NYC metropolitan area which combines urban agglomeration. A human settlement with high population density. Let’s not forget Pennsylvania is a part of the metro as well
@ThomasWalterMc@S343070390@SabresRealist@NHLRumourReport Another example. Chara didn’t crack 40 until his 7th year in NHL. Rod Langway only cracked 40 one time in his NHL career. More current Eckblad lives in the mid 30’s. Not flashy jay Bouwmeester.
Power isn’t physical but he has many shutdown Dman level underlying statistics.
@ThomasWalterMc@S343070390@SabresRealist@NHLRumourReport Not saying power = Pronger. But using pts totals as a measuring stick for how good a defenseman is weird. Pronger hovered around 30 his first few years and he’s a top 10 shut down D all time. Again not saying power is pronger, but we deployed him in that role this past year
@joemillerwired So this article was written in may 2023… Can you enlighten me on what the rams record wad that year following their Super Bowl win where this quote would have been relevant towards?
I’ll save you the time it was 5-12
@swangush@JeremyWGR Agreed also interested. But he never was touted as much of a pass rusher anyways at draft time. It wasn’t his forte, more of a clean up sack guy. Quite the opposite of verse. I just think browns would want a pass rusher if they’re trading the best pass rusher.
@swangush@JeremyWGR Verse also has 2 years in league which a pretty decent jump in sacks from rookie to sophomore year. Groot is a 5 year vet that doesn’t ascend in sacks. He had a nice jump like verse but then regressed right after and has hovered at same#. Prob safe to assume 7-8 is ceiling.
@ManWithAura17@MCGUIZZY@TheThomasDeLaus@BMaz1 The original statement talked about the goose egg in the series and how that holds merit over of the season or previous series. So I gave an example of a far superior player who also underwhelmed in a series and how it shouldn’t change our opinion of the player overall.
@MCGUIZZY@TheThomasDeLaus@BMaz1 Would you not want the Sabres to trade for him since he fell incredibly short when they were the best team in the biggest moment and he’s unquestionably the best player? Is it frustrating tuch ghosted?Yes. The contract is hard having youth chompin at the bit. But he’s still good
@MCGUIZZY@TheThomasDeLaus@BMaz1 Putting stock into a playoff series is understandable but also strange. For example… what’s your assessment on mackinnon? Prob top 3 but got swept with 2 assists after coming off the wild series where he had goals in every game and 9 pts. Is he bad now cuz he no showed?
@eyiahevans_@FabrizioRomano You never said anything about top 10 initially? So ya that changes things. Richards is very very solid. As the next tier down from the elite international squads I think they’re solid overall comparatively.
