Outlandish untrue statements aren't going to get you any sympathy.
From the very first sentence to the end, there's more projection in this post than a Cineplex on a Saturday night. It's really quite implressive.
Most of us think it's premature to declare Dra on some whole other than level than Nylander but we will also concede Dra has the edge right now.
Oh, well, I'm so glad the Leafs fan base has decided to bestow Draisaitl with that tremendous honor. Where would he be without that? Oh, eighth in NHL scoring last year you say? And Nylander was 38th? Never mind.
Most people would also agree Dra is a little higher paid than they would like.
I don't think "they" would, unless "they" are also Leafs fans.
Klef would be our best D and Larsson our best shut down guy but the total groups are not worlds apart.
Who could forget the great equalizer Martin Marincin?
However the comparisons get less favorable with the forward group after that, you have no solution to Marner.
"Hey guys you get to the fifth best player on each of our teams and, like, we're totally better from there on down! Oh, and my dad's dad's third cousin can beat up your dad's dad's third cousin!"
Let's remember this little gem at the end, shall we?
Want to call Lucic JVR's equal? sure why not, what have you got for Kadri? Marleau? Nothing.
Who do the Oilers have that compares to a 38-year-old winger recently signed to a $6.5M/year contract- and this after a third straight year of declining production? Thankfully no one. You do realize a brag is supposed to be a good thing, right- or are you also trying to prove Toronto has the worst worst player also, in addition to the best at every position (well, beyond the ones that matter).
(Note: that Edmonton beat the team Marleau played for last year in the first round just adds to the hilarity of this statement.)
How many 20 goals scorers do you have 4rth line?
Let's also keep this one top-of-mind for the finale.
Some of you carry on like you are the defending Cup and President's Trophy winner with a perfect team. You do not need to be the best at everything. You have a good team, but it is not the best man for man team in the universe. Accept that and you will enjoy hockey more.
There aren't enough L and O keys in the world to express the amount of laughter this paragraph deserves. I mean, it's not even really close. To conclude a post that brags about your team's fifth/sixth best player- hell, your
fourth line (!!!)- while simultaneously decrying another fan base for overrating their team is so much better a definition for hypocrisy than any in the dictionary that I hope Merriam-Webster just screencaps what you wrote for their next edition.
Apparently the actual "best man for man team in the universe" was so good it couldn't get out of the first round last year. That's right- the one with no 20-goal fourth liners, no answer to an undersized one-dimensional winger and a player on his last legs (who, again, it must be pointed out was on the
losing team last year) made it farther.
A true mystery that one. No, really it is; the Leafs have the best goalie in the world, the best coach, apparently also a D "total group" that is at least comparable to Edmonton's. How did they lose? Are they just chokers? We may never know, but that has to be the case since Toronto is so much better in every facet. The world thanks you for giving us a hint that may one day help us crack this enigma.
