We shouldn't do either; it's not that complicated.
Agreed, but I understand we all get triggered by our differences in opinion. Wish we would be not as harsh and less hyperbolic though. I mean, does the talk we can read here is expressed the same way in reality, away from the internet?
You could certainly make an argument that some of these are true though.
I'm certainly not going to go about it like FQL, cause that's a little aggressive for my liking, but let's not act like he's completely out to lunch either. There's a reason Ryan is viewed negatively on this board and it's more than just his contract. This guy was declining long before the injuries hit as well, so that's a bit of a cop out in my books.
Yeah but those assessments go way too far. Look at who started this debate, Nac Mac Feegle, he said something similar but presented it in a respectful way and actually arguments to support his claims. That's how you do it.
On declining... I have no idea where this notion comes from... Sure he peaked very young (had his career seasons from 21 to 23 y/o) but after that he has been one of the most consistent NHL players for 5 years :
2011-12 : 0.70 PPG
2012-13 : 0.65 PPG
2013-14 : 0.69 PPG
2014-15 : 0.69 PPG
2015-16 : 0.69 PPG
Last 2 years he had a down in production as he struggled heavily with injuries as well as off-ice stuff.
Got the whole board triggered. You guys hate me so much you're willing to defend white supremacy to attack me. This is glorious.
I personally don't hate you at all, just certain of your views
Nothing should be personal here, It's all opinions and I think it's natural we get triggered for our differences.
But I would like to see somebody tell me that I am a white supremacist or racist, lol, my wife is half Jamaican. Should I hate Ryan then?
I also hate terrorists to no end, does that make me a Trump supporter? I also have Muslim friends, I mean, am I confused? Am I weak mentally? What is going on?
