A lot of hot takes based on a 3-game sample size

Against inferior competition.

 

[McTonyBrar]

You literally ignore the majority of a person's post when you respond to them and you do it constantly.

And I am sorry for that. It's immature of me. Or maybe I just won't post anymore if this is what everyone thinks of me

It always happens.

Players are anointed as stars or busts based on the tournament of small sample size

Canada outscoring opposition 31-2 so far. Getting that edge on goal differential.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Can't wait to see Canada vs a good team.

 

[BlackDogg]

Its definately not the Parity Bowl.

Can't wait to see Canada vs a good team.

Nice goal by Guhle - he has a couple this tournament

I always find it weird when a player is doing nothing but put up points and people will still declare them busts because they aren't impressing them, enough.

Please don't get the WJC thread locked with arguing guys.

We wants it. We needs it.

Being a long time member on this board doesn't really mean anything.

It means he’s not a ‘troll’.

Has the tourney started yet?

I will say this, you have a habit of getting too heated when you disagree with someone and then at times do insult people.

I would suggest maybe just stepping back when you’re upset with a post and just think about whether it’s worth arguing about. If it is just make sure your response speaks to the content of the post without resorting to insults.

Byfield all of a sudden with a 4 point night.

Posters said they'd take Guhle ahead of him. I still can't wrap my head around that.

This place has worse hot takes than Stephen A Smith.

Still the warm up round.

I would say this tournament doesn’t decide who is going to bust or not. JP was supposed to be a star based on his performance in this tournament. It’s not a predictor of anything.

I know. But people declaring people a bust while they are putting up a ton of points is just ridiculous

Six now. Making some arm chair analysts look kind of stupid tonight.

Thanks. Good advice

Yep it was one of the most dumb posts I had ever seen on HF - and I'm always down to debate and listen to fair analysis but that one was absurd.

I hope Byfield keeps it up vs harder teams.

I’m not sure who’s doing that but I will say they may not be a star just because they are putting up points in the tournament. They may turn out to be a second liner. That doesn’t mean they are going to be a bust.

Still the warm up round.

Back to 2009 highlights I go.

Holloway is showing signs of being a useful bottom six player.

Aloha means delicious.

It doesn’t.

I find it weird that people form their opinions of a prospect based almost solely on their play in this tournament.

I think he has a high floor and low ceiling. Like he should for sure be an NHLer but I don't think he has a high ceiling at all. Nothing wrong with that though, he will be a very useful NHLer.
