Interesting, because I don't remember saying that. You're putting words in my mouth. What I said was that he came in and the team won some games, and a bunch of people assumed that one was because of the other. Correlation implying causation, which happens all the time... and in fact, there were people saying precisely this in that thread. "Well, he came in and we started winning". So obviously that characterization of why many people liked him as a player wasn't unfair.
In fact, and I posted this earlier, Flamesnation even wrote an article about it that now appears downright prescient.

Yeah, because it's the usual tired old "watch the games", as if I don't have gamecenter and don't watch a borderline embarrassing amount of hockey, especially when I'm working late. So yeah, I saw quite a bit of Stone, including some in Arizona, so I wouldn't be surprised if I saw him more than you did last year. Which, if so, wouldn't in itself be a reason to think that my analysis of him was better or worse than yours.
I tend to actually have statistical evidence to back up my views. You might not like the evidence, you might want to discount it (which, go nuts), but your constant visceral anger at having someone disagree with you for actual empirically based reasons is kind of revealing. It's every thread with you doing this foaming at the mouth routine.
