How do you know? Perhaps Im Darren Dregger in disguise
Prove that im not.
Dreger would also have spelt his name correctly

I guess we just see things differently. I only occasionally have a problem with his defensive effort, not much more than any other player. His defensive game has grown immensely over the last 4 or 5 years.
Disagree.
You may not like his style.. But he has opinions that are honest and fact based for the most part..
That said I'm just a big fan of his radio persona.

yup i'd much rather listen to you all day. please please tell us what station you are on
Spezza, to me, is more comparable to Scott Gomez then he is to Alex Ovechkin or Ryan Getzlaf... and didn't the Sharks let him walk for nothing?

You are missing the part about their contracts. And the way they play. And the difference between a roughly 0.7 PPG player and a PPG player. And a one season drop in season versus a regression that happened over several years.
But on the other hand, Spezza's name starts with S and Gomez's name starts with G, so I guess that is something.

Calling him an idiot mught be going too far. But i always feel like he's pushing an agenda regarding players he likes or dislikes. I find myself disagreeing with his assessments more than any of the other radio personalities on the team... Except for when Brennan graces us with his prescence, doesnt get any worse than him.
How about they used to be good but no more? And no one wants them, even the team that has them. And they're old.
More direct comparables there then to both Olympians (Getzlaf and Ovechkin).

Prove that im not.
Multiple factors factor in to me not believing youre dreger.
What factors make you believe that Simpson is lying? or that Mendes is correct?
Im not even really defending Simpson, just defending the point that these guys are in a position to know things, that we, as mostly stay at home fans, are not.
Ive heard a spezza -gomes comparison AND a "Spezza is a loser and hes Okay with it" in one day. I solemnly swear to never join into a Spezza discussion again on these boards

This is such a ******** argument. There's many unqualified, biased dumbasses on TV and Radio. Just turn on sportsnet and listen to the analysis by just about everyone they bring on for proof.
Being in the business and having the connections to get you a job does not automatically make you smarter than everyone sitting at home watching the games. They still have their own biases and limitations with critical thinking.
I've seen Gomez's name written as Gomes... I suppose anything is possible today.
mm yeah this is true... but in terms of coming across legitimate inside information....The analysts on the radio, tsn, sportsnet are far more likely to stumble upon those than we are.
My spelling mistake was an accident, your analysis of Jason spezza was deliberate. bigger crime.gomeZZZZZZZZZZZ

The main difference between media personalities and fans on Internet hockey forums is that media personalities hype things up in order to drive ratings, while online fans simply try to trade Spezza all day long. They each have their biases, but the biases are different.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.
It was the way he mentioned it, the way he backed off when Mendes asked him where he got the information and kind of made a joke of it. Chuckled, hesitated then dropped the ol Bruce Garioch "league executive" bombshell of nothingness.
That was my impression, perhaps Im wrong, but it seems more likely to me that he was goofing around than the rumour was something of substance.
We know those guys read these boards to come up with stuff to talk about, and to gauge where the fans are at. It's not at all unlikely as far as im concerned that this is where those rumours as Simpson said, originated.

I like Shawn Simpson. I like listening to him and think he is one of the best analysts on 1200.
My opinion.
If your opinion is that he is an idiot, go ahead and state your opinion, but that does not make him an idiot. It simply means you disagree with him. Understand?
Qward
Because! That's why!

Spezza is on pace for 64 points, and he's historically a strong finisher and has been producing very well lately. I would be surprised if he doesn't hit 70 points. Think about that. Spezza is having the worst year of his career and he will probably still put up 70 points and 25 goals.
Like what? Getzlaf is far from a defensive stalwart. Doesn't bring "a lot more" than just goals and assists. He's not a great skater either. He plays on a great team though.
Ok.
we should trade Philips for Adam Mcquaid. 27 years old, Big RHD who can fight
allows Wiercioch and Boro to fight it out for the bottom pairing.

Mine was accurate, yours was a mistake
Well we can bring this comparison to 100 proffesionals, in the NHL, Highly respected analysts, Greatest GMs in history, I can bet not one agrees with this
