I knew this was what was gonna do you in. Doesnt address the argument just takes the top bit and tries to save a little face. I argue that he's the exception to that rule and that's why the equivalency is false, and yet instead of addressing that you scamper away. Classic.
Dude, you made the thread titled "change my mind" and ignore literally everything that shows that your opinion is wrong. The only person who needs to "save face" is you, because you've been proven wrong in this entire thread and refuse to admit it.
I'll sum it up nice and easy: you're a massive homer and that's the only reason that you think your argument is legitimate. Your case for Marchand getting the Hart sucks, that's what I'm getting at. It's like arguing with a flat earther, I don't need to prove that the earth is round to a flat earther, because it's absolutely asinine to say the earth is flat. You can believe whatever you want, but facts are facts. We know how the Hart is awarded, you refusing to admit that and just repeating yourself over and over again doesn't invalidate that. He's not an exception to the rule, and you need to make a much better claim that he is if you think he is. This entire thing:
My case for Marchand is that we haven't seen a case like this in a while, because I don't think anyone's had this strong of an all around year despite missing the games that he has. Missing those games has led to his falling behind in the scoring races, true, but what i'm saying is that he's the exception, not the rule. His resume may lack a carrying attribute, something that sticks out to the eye the way that Hall's streak has, but I just think that there's nobody out there with less weaknesses than Marchand, and I think that goes a long way in determining a players value.
When I think of value to a team, I would, for example, take a Kopitar over an Ovechkin 9/10. This is because a responsible player on both sides of the rink with elite level talent adds more value by not only not being a liability in the defensive zone, but being able to cover for players who do commit errors. Ovechkin and Kucherov types are flashy and come at you with the big stats, sure, but those teams dont make it very far because when it matters most your game needs to be great in all aspects. Kopitars win championships. Ovechkins dont.
Is not a justification for the Hart. It's the ramblings of a homer. Your opinion doesn't override facts. If you think it does, then your arguments become absolutely worthless. There is no worth in someone's argument if the person values opinions more than facts.
