What are some of your favorite HF contradictions?

[SnowblindNYR]

My favorite is XYZ team are Power Play merchants they're not as good as their record. ABC player on XYZ team sucks despite solid 5 on 5 production and no PP1 time, because the PP1 time context is not important.

Probably not exactly what OP is asking for, but anyway:

"Bettman hates Canada!"
"Bettman would do anything for the Coyotes!"
"The lottery is rigged!"

2015 lottery: Oilers win, leapfrogging the Coyotes to draft McDavid.
2016 lottery: Leafs win, get to draft Arizona native Matthews.

Player X playing well because of playing with player Y

Oilers leaped the Sabres and pissed off the entire buffalo fan base

 

[Warden of the North]

"Leafs are overrated lololololol. They'll compete with Buffalo and Ottawa for a playoff spot"

"Leafs choke again lolololololol"

"Regular season success doesn't matter."

It's 82 games from October to April. Having watched both a miserable regular season product and a good regular season product, it's a lot harder to sit down and watch a game on an average Saturday night when you're expecting them to lose or be blown out.

“Pffft. It’s a message board. I have every right to come into this main board thread and give baseless one sentence opinions trashing your team’s player who I don’t really watch.”

“Can’t believe the mods let people blatantly troll like this in threads about my team. I’m not going to use the Ignore function though. I’m going to turn this into a flame war because this injustice can’t stand.”

 

[GarlicbreadTB]

Win one game:

"Plan the parade. Nothing's stopping us"

Lose one game:

"OK blow it up. Trade everyone"

> this player has term left no one is going to give up assets for that risk.

> this player only has one year left no one is going to give up assets for a rental.

The NHL is unwatchable

And I'll see you tomorrow

 

[Fatass]

Agree to disagree.

 

[HisIceness]

Team in the sunbelt is mediocre and doesn't sell out every game.

"Market is bad. They don't care about Hockey there. Relocation is needed ASAP".

Team in "traditional" town has the same issues.

"The fans are just speaking with their wallets".

 

[Buck Naked]

Any time list based on a model is posted.

Drrrrrr drrrr, this model is shit because I don't agree with my player not being on the list. 9/10 are correct but damn, that last one. f*** the model and the person responsible for it.

Then when your player is on top it's not so shit anymore.

 

[Paradise Circus]

Referrees and the NHL are out to get my team, it's not a conspiracy, it's truth!!

 

[Judas Tavares]

Player I dislike: He was easily on pace for X points but he didn't get there cause of injury. That means he's not an X point player.

Player I like: Well he's essentially an X point player, he would have easily gotten there had he not been injured!

 

[Firequacker]

"I want this player traded to my team, oh btw he's a garbage player with zero value"

 

[AvroArrow]

"So what if a team circumvented the cap to roster a team well above the cap limit for the playoffs, it's fair!"

"No we can't get rid of the cap! It won't be fair if other teams spend more money on their roster than us, it's like buying a cup!"

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

“Hockey is too soft, no hit league, etc”

“This team is so dirty, all they do is start flights and hit.”

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Player with a red advanced analytics infographic player card = Terrible player / Barely an NHLer

 

[Nicko999]

"You will never get 1st for X player"

"Bah, 1st round picks are overrated"

 

[Draiskull]

Draisaitl is both the best and the worst passer in the league.

 

[ps241]

Posters negotiating fake trade deals like its for real and getting legit upset.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Another was during the Lundqvist Era.

"The Rangers suck all they have is Henrik Lundqvist."

"LOL king with no rings!"

 

[Sasha Orlov]

“The Habs only beat my team/made the playoffs/won a round/won two rounds/went to the finals because of Price”

“Price is so overrated”

 

[TrufleShufle]

"Devils are the best and Rangers suck"

"Rangers are the best and Devils suck"

It's like what lol, cmon HF make up your mind.
