No, I'm pointing out that you made a bull**** comparison that falls apart at the seams at any closer inspection.
the comp doesn't fall apart though.
Wait, are you actually saying that my disputing your ridiculous claim is disingenuous? You do realize that you can't just throw out ridiculous claims and expect them not to be challenged, right? If you didn't double down on the claim that Hyman essentially is Wheeler on even strength, I wouldn't have disputed it. You did, so I did. That's not being disingenuous, that's pointing out that your claim is ridiculous.
You said, and I quote:
"At even strength this year he has pretty much been Blake Wheeler."
You're right, it's weird how I took that as to mean that Hyman is as good as Wheeler on even strength. It's almost like I decided to dispute what you actually said, instead of creating a strawman argument and attack that instead. Should I assume that you don't mean what you say in all your posts, or is this limited to this one ridiculous claim?
my words were very precise, meant exactly what they said, and are accurate.
instead of appreciating the precise comparison made there, and what it says about hyman that you may have not realize, you instead resort to OMKGODHESAIDHYMAN>WHEELER knowing full well that I didn't say it, yet still trying to use it to shut down the conversation.
so yes, disingenuous.
Yes, aside from Wheeler's significant advantage in secondary assists, and thereby in point production, they are really close in point production on even strength.
Yes at even strength, hyman is matching or bettering wheeler in most everything other than secondary assists.
Instead of thinking about what that means, you choose instead to mischaracterize what i say to shut down the conversation.
If you think I'm derailing the conversation when I'm attacking your claims, you are free to report my posts. Having read the rules once or twice, I don't think it's actually against the rules to attack someone's claims. If you don't want people to attack your ridiculous claims, maybe you should take a minute or two to think over why people are attacking them? To assert that I'm being disingenuous because I dispute your ridiculous claims, and further to insinuate that I am derailing a topic when I'm disagreeing with your claims, however, is quite frankly such a laughable attempt at backpedaling.
i could care less about reporting you for anything.
just know that, in order to shut down the conversartion and to avoid learning anything about hyman, you chose to mischaracterize what i said instead.
and know that you calling something ridiculous doesn't make it so.
