It's more like arguing with my 6 year old nephew about why he can't have a full frozen pizza as a snack at 3pm on a tuesday. You want to say "BECAUSE FVCKING COMMON SENSE, THATS WHY" but then he'll cry and say you didn't explain it well enough. 

Nobody should eat frozen pizza at all.

How about you actually address what im saying though instead of escaping it once again? You keep accusing me of something yet when i confront you about it you turtle like a coward.

I'll ask straight up again.

Do you understand that there's a huge difference between someone giving his personal opinion saying that a claim or reaction is "dumb". 

Is NOT in any shape or form controlling, limiting or not allowing that person to make that claim. It's simply giving your opinion about it.

It's a simple question man. Do you understand this very basic notion?

I don't understand +/- 85% of the posts you try to make because your grasp of the english language makes my brain hurt and my eyes bleed.

Yes, I understand that there's a difference between giving an opinion and telling someone not to comment. No, I don't think that's what you do.

You obviously still don’t understand it because all I did was give my opinion. And you have no actual response to anything like usual, so you just repeat buzzwords and catch phrases, like you accuse other people of doing. 

It’s comical.

Umm, yeah, everybody knows that. My point was you do things like that because you have nothing to actually say because your positions are typically indefensible, like ur mom’s. LMAO gottem.

It would have been more valuable than what you actually posted. 

I should add, if I’m going to do it, it has to be the Red Baron deep dish singles. Then aI have to pretend the sauce doesn’t taste like absolute crap. But it still does.

"rocket by the splendiferous Jack Hughes."

You might be reading too far into it, I don’t think they’d sacrifice team success to suppress any individual players. I think Ruff just really takes possession numbers to heart. But the good news is it appears that he’s finally broken that line up. I’d prefer Palat with Jack but I’ll take Sharangovich and Mercer for now. 

My cynical outlook on the world has crept into sports.

It might be that Ruff is on to something, but I am glad he will give others a chance that may have a better scoring touch.  I hope Hughes focuses on his face offs.  I just wonder if he simply gets overpowered because of his size.

I’m honestly surprised he isn’t better at them considering he has really quick hands. But if the level in which he improved his shot is any indication I think he will get better at face offs at some point, too.

Nico wasn’t very good at them his first couple years either (not as bad as Jack, but still), and he improved greatly in that department.

I don’t follow stuff like player size, but Nico looks considerably stronger than he did his rookie year. I know there were pictures of Jack working out where he looked like he bulked up, but he doesn’t play like he did. Which he shouldn’t, that’s not really his game. 

If it could translate to better faceoffs, though, that would be a plus.

Nico has, but I couldn’t find any centers in the top 10 that were even remotely that bad and neither was Nico.  Hughes in 4 years has gone from bad to worse.  I’m holding out hope for him to at least get to 40%, which is still bad, but better than 32%.  For now, FOs are his kryptonite.  The other option is that Mercer has success on his wing and maybe he can improve on his FOs since he was a center.  I don’t know, just saying.

Hughes will naturally get stronger and develops his man strength.  Maybe if he has a kid, he’ll get some dad strength too.

Ofc he’s getting worse at them, he’s not getting a chance to take many anymore. You can’t improve on something you’re not good at unless you work at it. A lot. 

Anyway, if face offs are my superstar center’s biggest “kyrptonite” I can live with that. He could be horrendous defensively, or exclusively just a playmaker, etc. Sorry, but I just can’t get too worked up about face offs when a guy can have 50 goal, 100 point seasons.
