K2B with the hard sell in the western conference final
LOL so many people are saying that the two teams suck. I wonder what they expected out of a 30 team draft. And what does that say about the teams that didn't make it to this point..
In reality.. you wouldn't expect teams with that much youth to get that far.
The Blues have KC-FC as a 3rd pairing? On conference finalist team? You never would see that.
If my team gets in trouble I'm going to do my best Skip Bayless impression in the thread.
I respect people's opinions but Tryamkins post lol. "Better goaltending" you mean the guy who posted 3.17 gaa in the playoffs and a .908 svp this year. Talbot has a career save pt of .930. Sure yeah he played as a back up but he went 21-9 and almost played half the season. .917 svp on that edmonton team with negstive defencr is very respectable. If anything its a wash.Also forwards are not even if you do 4 lines. You can show me how it's even though.
It's a close series.
I take Bobrovsky over Talbot.
Just depends on Bob's health really.

I'm sorry but look at Cbus' defense this year.. It was among the worst in the league. Bob had an injury plagued season. Talbot is a mediocre goalie at best.
You're right. Bobrovsky was awful in Columbus' deep playoff run this year
Bob is the better goalie, by far. His cap hit plagues people's minds.
Pretty sure Hutton took over CGY.
Yes arguing over something I don't agree with =Hutton. Did you even read my post? Seemed pretty factual to me.
Can you seriously just take a chill pill? You didn't talk at all during the draft and here you are using passive aggressive language in reaction to every single person that might disagree with you on both the LWMD chat board and the voting polls. Just agree to disagree and move on. Be the bigger person. Posting "LOL" in all caps at the end of every sentence doesn't really help your cause.
Anyways, it's almost over. I'll gladly face either team with open arms in the Finals.
So its a problem of how i deliver my posts instead of the actual content. Boy are there some sensitive people in here.
I just disagreed about the Brobovsky point and you just think it was passive aggressive ignoring the other 95% of the post.
"Agree to disagree". Kind of ruins the point of discussing on an online hockey forum. I think its better to disagree and say why you disagree in the first place.
I apologize for the "LOL". If it offended some people though ill delete it.
I dont have some kind of beef with Tryamkin, it was a bit over the top. I just disagreed with his point thats all.
PS. Comparing me to Hutton makes you seem contradictory with your own passive aggressive comments.
I think you're misunderstanding the point of this entire draft. It isn't to analytically break everything down. It's to have fun. Once people take it too seriously, it defeats the purpose. We've had this happen a few times this year.
I could break down how you mentioned every single EDM d-man used this year but only used 7 of CBJ's d-men, when Ryan Murray was the only 82 game player on the back end for the Jackets, and the fact that they went through 13 different defenders last year. I like Bob when he's healthy because of how he plays, how athletic he is and the fact that he has a Vezina trophy under his belt.
He's injury prone, but if I had to pick between Bob vs Talbot in a 7 game series strictly based on play, I would pick Bob. You can throw as many stats as you want towards me, but that's my preference. I would pick Claude Giroux over any centre in the league due to how I much I enjoy him as a player. Analytically there probably are a ton of better options, but that's my preference. Ironically, here I am in the Finals with him!
An online hockey forum isn't meant strictly for debate and arguing. There's a time and place for it.
No one should be compared to the Sauron of Memes and Trolling. I take it back.
