Pens x is extreme which is a bummer because behind his hyperbole is a legitimate perspective. That perspective gets buried behind the responses to the hyperbole.
The problem is whatever perspective he has gets lost due to his hyperbole. Making a strong argument actually involves making a coherent argument, not just some vague complaint wrapped up in layer after layer of exaggeration.
He's the equivalent of someone saying Fleury is one of the worst goalies ever and is the reason this team hasn't won 10 straight Stanley Cups. Is the underlying perspective that Fleury had some playoff meltdowns legitimate? Sure, but when you deliver it with the hyperbole of saying he's the worst ever and the club would have won 10 Cups in a row if he didn't choke, it's no longer a "legitimate perspective" because the rationale being used is idiotic.
That's not even touching on the fact that's ALL he talks about. There's a reason why you and pixie don't get the flak he does. You and pixie engage in discussion that doesn't necessarily touch on the 3C spot, yet I'd say 99% of his posts somehow mention the "crappy off-season because JR didn't fill 3C". It could be a discussion that doesn't even involve the 3C position, and he'd somehow come back around to it. The discussion could be about whether Hunwick should play with Maatta or Cole, and he'd include JR not re-signing Bonino or not trading for a 3C as part of his reply to that discussion.
