My BIL was over and we watch the game. First NBA game I've seen in ages. I could not believe whats called and whats not. I have no idea how people watch the NBA. I can watch college basketball in March all day long. NBA championship...absolute garbage for a multitude of seasons.
Yes, yes they are. Ironic that you post that. The reason why you get into so many arguments here is because, for the most part, you go looking for them. No one is allowed to have an anti-Kunitz opinion in your mind. Anytime someone does, out come the dramatics and the backhanded comments. Then you play victim as evidenced by the last line on your post. It's been explained to you over and over and over again why people take issue with Kunitz's game but you maintain this blinders on Kunitz can do no wrong mantra.
That's why people tell you to watch the game, fixate on Kunitz, and try to take an objective standpoint. It would help you understand why people don't like him and don't want him back and certainly why they want a younger player with speed in over him. Does he pot a point here and there, yes. Did he come up huge in Game 7, absolutely. But outside of the 2 good games he had, his body of work this season and in the regular season, is nothing short of laughable and at times dumbfounding considering the replacement value of other depth players we have.
Your arguments were "well Sullivan and others see stuff in him that you don't". That may be true. But Sullivan's comments are "he's a good teammate" and other's comments are "He's played 155 playoff games and has 3 cups". Notice how none of them fixate on his on ice abilities and impact? Notice how it's all objective or programmed remarks about him? Outside of the one big goal he had...there's nothing that suggests he's earned his spot in the line up over anyone. In a situation where we are hemorrhaging speed and transition abilities against a powerful defensive Predators team, all of us here are longing to remove the old, slow guy and put in a young fast guy with energy. That's not an unreasonable viewpoint to take. It's not unreasonable to want. But you come in and make arguments and try to play victim because not everyone here kisses the guy's ass the way you think they should. That is why 90% of what you do here is argue with people over the same argument. It's one of those "if you can't see the other side of the argument, you have no business arguing". If you can't understand why people don't like him, there's no point in arguing with you.
