Gonna need our PP scoring if we want to beat TB. Their PP looks dominant although Freddy seemed to be one step ahead of their shots in the 3rd.
Congratulations. You are now on my block list. EnjoyI think most people call most things as they "see it". The question that should always arise - especially in a public forum - is: Is it an accurate call?
If you read my reply, you'd have noted the point where I say that I don't know if your claims are true but take issue with the way in which the claim is being presented. Again, it seems ANY criticism toward your post is a criticism of your position. That's not my dog and that's not my fight.
You compared the member's constant attacks on Kadri with online hate unrelated to hockey. You certainly implied your suspicion in previous posts. To me, that's a serious accusation that merits serious address. My only concern is integrity of the claim as it occasions to DISRUPT a hockey forum. The hockey forum that I come to read hockey opinions and hockey "news" and hockey stats and theories and arguments about HOCKEY. So as I take the issue of prejudice seriously, and I take my time allotted for hockey talk, seriously, I'd like to think that there aren't people on here compelling conclusions of others with little more than the hint of evidence rather than the actual thing specific to the claim.
SO...If you have a legitimate claim, notify HFBoards with your findings. If you don't, for the life of me, why would you want to hint at prejudice without having actual, verifiable evidence to the effect? Is this your thing? Inducing a fact pattern after your gut tells you it's the right thing to do?
Even in the reply quoted, you state: "I have a problem with the continued attack even when he plays well given the known issue of ugly bias is always present among some out there."
Great. Fantastic. Terrific. Congratulations. I don't know what that has to do with the specific member on the specific claim. You've just described that the existence of hate is real and present...and out there... among some. But WHERE is that "ugly bias" SPECIFICALLY, HERE, by THAT MEMBER? I'm generally concerned and interested. Please. Set my intellectual hubris aright. Quote the member. Sincerely. Quote him and if proven right, I'LL WRITE HFBoards on your behalf.
Because for the life of me, I don't know what the hell you're on about other than attempting to incite some sort of virtue signaling rally on these hockey boards, one of the last bastions of online community that isn't ******ed by SJWs and their neo-Marxist thought policing idiocy.
I just finished a little online safari under the search words "Kadri + Online + Hate + Target" and didn't get a peach. Didn't find an ongoing SPECIFIC instance of concern for Nazem Kadri and a case for constant online non-hockey related prejudicial treatment.
So in two specific instances, I would like to be corrected. And if not corrected, explained as to why not.
I called Kadri out, and he responded in a big way.
He hasnt been playing well lately, but was great today.
Kadri could be the ex factor in a playoff series. If he doesnt do anything silly, and focuses on playing his game, it could win us a series.
I know people like him I do too but your ready to throw Sparks under the bus for tentitive play but I spent my time focusing on him in the Vancouver game and I was severely disappointed in the lack of effort. In particular when he and Kappy had the two on one. Kappy was trying to pass to him and he was skating like he didn't care. Someone needs to flick him behind the ear and tell him stop feeling sorry for himself and to start using blue collar work to get out of his funk.
Congratulations. You are now on my block list. Enjoy
**** and go away. You clearly know jack **** about this kind of stuff
Well...
In summary:
I accept your congratulations with a sense of gratitude the kind of which one feels from having experienced a narrow escape. Sincerely, thank you. Potential slander is terrible enough let alone having to untie the knot of the genuine thing.
- Questions asking for information to support claims of sensitive non-hockey issues on a hockey board, denied.
- Sincere plea for alleged "intellectual hubris" to be corrected was declined.
- Blocked for asking that claims (of sensitive non-hockey issues on a hockey board) be substantiated by specific information after having merely suggested an alternative route to resolve said sensitive non-hockey issue on a hockey board.
A very engaged Naz last night. Good to see. Now let's see last nights game turn into multiple games played the same way.
I certainly do know Jack and the whole family:
Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and O. Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married O. Schitt, the owner of
Knee-deep Schitt, Inc.
Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt and they had 6 children: Holie Schitt, The twins; Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt and Bull Schitt.
Jack and Noe divorced. Noe later married Mr. Sherlock and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.
Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt and they had Chicken Schitt. Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt married the Happens
brothers in a dual ceremony.
The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg, Byrd and Horse. Bull Schitt left home to tour the world. He recently returned with his new bride, Pisa Schitt.
Logical.
Evidence of his claim should be readily available on this public forum. I pointed to a subsection of it where I have posted hundreds of times on the subject.
All would demonstrate a rejection of Trump’s Nationalism, White Supremacy, Travel Bans, Transgender Bans, and the like. He’d find comments speaking out against Ford’s roll back of the sex Ed curriculum which has the net effect of marginalizing LGBTQ students.
While the Politics forum was closed, it lives on in Web Cache engines. Search away.
In a slander case, my lawyer would absolutely provide the mountains of evidence in the event that he does not take the time to review.
I would advise the member to be very careful with unsubstantiated allegations.
I already advised I would stand up to bullying. This is perhaps amongst the most personal and vile forms.
I invite the member to do his research. Apologize. It should be fairly simple with the evidence available.
I sadly suspect he will be a coward and avoid it.
In a perfect world this site would be a place to discuss the Leafs and hockey. Unfortunately too often it is really about people demanding we all agree with their view. If someone disagree's they are a hater, bias, racist, fanboy, dumb fan, stupid etc. There is very few on here that will even admit someone has a point, never mind admitting they are wrong. I am not pointing anyone out. It's just the way it is, and really unfortunate.
You had to expect with Tavares and Matthews on board, Kadri’s totals might drop a little. People got spoiled with 30 goals and now expect that as the norm.Great game for Kadri, picked this team up when they needed it the most! I just looked up the numbers and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised that this modest two point effort puts him on pace to score 50 points for the season, not too shabby. Considering all the grief he's taken here I thought he'd be more on pace to score oh I dunno, 32 points or something like that. Anyhow, hopefully this puts an end to the talk of trading Kadri for a while, my word would that ever be a dumb thing for us to do.
Was it Friedman last night who said that if Kadri plays like this in the playoffs, the Leafs will be OK? Now thats' oversimplifying things a bit to be sure but it's easy to see what he's talking about, we're going to need him badly in the playoffs, kids a beauty!

It’s a conversation because he isn’t scoring on the shots he takes.
Well that and as @diceman934 says, we can’t afford to pay that for a 3C if we want to keep good players.
