You use paper plates in your house when you eat dinner?

Since you couldnt figure it out...My wife was using them while doing christmas ornaments.. useful while they are drying.

Are you concerned over the impact to the environment princess?

Not necessarily (although those seem compostable).

You Bailey haters are high, drunk or both. He is a top 6 forward on at least half the teams in this league.

somebody had to say it

The half that don't make the playoffs anyway

“Love it,” said Johnston, who returned in the second period and logged 9:05. “I don’t think that was the intent Barry had when he put us three together. Bails is a great teammate. Anytime somebody gets cranked, even when it’s me, he’s the first one in there.”

The Islanders are a playoff team.

Top 6 winger on a team with the 2nd best record in the NHL anyway.

Thats pretty funny -- the censor on HF blocks the link name due to the curse. Click on the link on the right under "Recent Posts" -- that loads.

I just read that drivel, sorry if that's your pen name.

It doesn't actually talk about anything but goal scoring and shots, and weird comparisons to Ovechkin for some reason. The contract stuff is hilariously wrong, as is the coattails. It makes me laugh that people like this don't understand what top six forwards actually are, take a look around the league. I'm sure you'd be thrilled with someone who shoots more but produces less.

 

[ScaredStreit]

I was a Bailey hater for years. With that said he's a legit 2nd liner with a fair contract...I don't see the issue?

He doesn't shoot, score goals, hit people, or look like he's trying so he's bad. We don't care about anything else, all those other fancy-stats, like assists, PK, PP, shootouts, etc.

Since 2017 he's 13th in scoring among RW's. Definitely not a top-6 forward...lol.

You're 100% correct...let's ignore that he does all the little things well that add up over time because he's not a flashy player.

Those are fancy stats! Just watch the game, nerd.

I got a out halfway and had to give up. The writing was like reading the blog of a 15 year old edge lord, not to mention, it showed little understanding of hockey and used intentionally misleading stats. When you have to reach this hard to drag a player, it says a lot about how good they actually are.

Do these stats help? Are these better? I mean, they dont truly show what a near zero value on the ice he is... but you stats guys must be able to appreciate this, no?

Those are stats of a solid third liner.

"But Bones, he can clear the zone and make solid passes!"

Look at all the great third liners on this list!

 

[YearlyLottery]

I find that people who call Bailey a third liner are still comparing his stats to players in the 80's and his contract to players 10 years ago.

He is a middle six player who is on the upper end of that middle six. Most nights he can play on the second line but depending on the team the Isles throw out he can slot in on the third line. Bailey can even slot in on the first line for some games and be fine.

That is what makes him valuable though. This is a guy who can be thrown in the lineup and you don't have to worry about. Call that whatever you want, but I call it valuable.

 

[QuadDeuces]

I've given up reasoning with the Bailey-haters. He's a perfectly good 2nd line winger, who is also versatile enough to play up and down the lineup. Not many players in that price range are outperforming him.
