Hmmmmm Leivo is skating with the 4th line meaning somebody else has to be gone soon. Holland probably but I wonder if they have people biting on a trade or if they'll just waive him too.
Whatever. If you want to call Ovi a sniper that's fine. I like to draw a distinction between what he is and what someone like Stamkos is. We can agree to disagree.
All Sniper Matters is what you're saying?
I'd like to point out that the context of his discussion was the comparison between Laine and Ovechkin. Calling Ovechkin a "sniper" is fine, but when you say Laine is the best "sniper since Ovechkin", I think the semantics are important here. When you look at Laine's game there is a clear difference between him and Ovechkin (at least at this point in his career -- which is all the information we have!). His game much more closely resembles that of Stamkos. That's all I'm saying.
see zroid, Foggy put it in words I can comprehend and now I agree with you
too lit foggy
Stats are stats
but wait a minute
I thought looking at players wasn't a valid argument per your saying
Soc help me out here and pull out the posts please

i didn't mean "look" literally. look at their shot numbers, xG, etc. AND guess what you can watch them play too. all the evidence points to what i'm saying. idk why people are arguing with me about this, it's not really controversial. you people just try to rile me up for god knows what reason.
good

adjective

having the qualities of not being Auston Matthews.
"that Patrick Laine is the opposite of Auston Matthews"
Ironically, despite what zroid has said, the style of Stamkos and Ovi's goals are more alike than Laine's (imo by watching them play). They love the cross ice setup for the one-time shot. Stamkos especially from weird angles. Laine meanwhile takes a breath and wrists it past the keeper. But they're all sort of the same that I'd call all three snipers.
Dude you know he doesn't actually look at players. That would require subjective evaluation and prejudice against the data. You have to look at the numbers absent of context! That is the real reality!
uh oh

Ovi isn't the best sniper in the league.
A guy like Stamkos is more efficient and maybe Laine will turn out to be the same way.
He's still the best goal scorer in the world though, more uni-dimensional than he used to be but still elite at what he does best.
On to my team:
My god we're playing terrible right now.
Number two in score and venue adjusted corsi but hot garbage in xGF%.

Seriously I'm getting Westworld vibes here
Stay woke, you people
zroid is one of my favourite posters and I value his contributions to our community
Nice. One of my favourite moments from the finale.
Yeah, same. Really really liked the finale and
Man in Black's reaction to shit going down was perfect. Exactly what he said he was looking for the entire time.
Another thing I loved was how, after being such a badass the entire time he was "in game" as soon as MiB dressed in civilian clothes the show shot him to look small and normal. Really sold how in Westworld he sees himself as a villain and larger than life outlaw but once he's out he's just a shrimpy rich guy pouting because his super expensive vacation sucked.

Sniper this, scorer that.
Notice how you guys aren't debating who the best passer is? Because it's obvious.

You know the sentient cattle reveal of the Westworld finale was too much for me.
Hi Smelly
Hi Smelly
Yeah, and just after Dolores
stumbled across the Statue of[/spolier] Liberty. They were obviously struggling for ideas.

Eh, doesn't that just mean 'not D2D' and is expected to be at least a few weeks?
I got a Score notification saying he's expected out for the season, so... no. Not returning at all. Has got to be something serious...
Woah
Edit - that score notification seems premature. Everyone's just reporting indefinitely and
WTF.
I didn't get that notification. Just that he was out indefinitely. Unless I can't read.
Looking at this:
Canucks' Dorsett to have neck surgery, reportedly out for season http://www.thescore.com/news/1175262

That really doesn't sound good. Who will get the call? McCarron? Audette? De La Rose?
the fuck are you talking about
that's Soc's post and he did it to annoy me :lol
CALDER IS THE REAL VILLAIN HERE
(i see he at least fixed it retroactively but TOO LATE)
i have no idea what it is, I haven't looked at it directly lol
it's a joke, you can safely read it
Soc's still an ass tho, it freaked me out for a second too when i saw it :lol
Masterful, if your initial post was indeed a troll.
