Ok. First, I'll apologize and assume you're simply not following my thought process. Or that my thought process is wrong.

Let me go super slow for you. Take the time to read this and think about it. Please explain to me if im miss thinking this.

This is my point: Most people compare first year of nhl draft year eligibility to first year of nhl draft year eligibility. Not year of birth to year of birth.

Why do they do that? Its because of age relative to the hockey season. I'll explain using Poirier and Perry as an example. Now again, follow closely cuz this is super complicated.

Perry is born is May. Poirier is born in December. The season goes from October to April.

As a result, they're closer in age when the one with the May bday is 19 and the one with the December bday is 20 than when both players are age 20.

A Perry in his 19 year old season is 5 months younger than a Poirier in his 20 season. This is because there is 5 months between December and May.

Meanwhile, a Perry in his 20 year old hockey season is 7 months older than a Poirier in his 20 year old hockey season. This is because the is 7 months between May and December.

Since 5 months is less than 7 months, its a better comparison to use Perry age 19 vs Poirier age 20.

Edited to be less condescending and add an apology.

I have no idea why you feel the need to treat someone like that. Grow up.

I was actually being sincere.

First, i was a dick a few days ago. So im saying sorry. That's what people should do when theyve been a dick. They should own it and say sorry.

In apologizing, I'm saying that I was wrong to assume Moon was simply trying to prove himself right, and perhaps he actually is right.

Second, since we clearly aren't seeing this the same. I realize I might be wrong. So I'm working through my logic step by step. If I'm thinking about this the wrong way I'd like someone to point it out to me.

I read your message before you edited it. I'm glad you recognized how demeaning your original post was. There's nothing wrong with the content of your posts in a hockey sense. Just don't make things so personal when you disagree with someone.

Yes, I agree. The condescending nature of my ways don't contribute to a positive forum environment. I should try and be more open to the ideas and views of others.

And now for the reason I was in this thred today...

For those interested tonight's Gatineau game will be broadcast online in English by the visiting Cape Breton Screamig Eagles at http://www.eagle1035.com

I've been good friends with the Eagles play-by-play man for twenty some years. He is well aware of the CalgaryPuck community and said he'd try and give a shout out when discussing Poirier.

Game time is 8:30pm AST which I believe would make it 5:30pm MST.

(I will apologize for the Tim McGraw don't text & drive, and "it's time to take the bar exam" commercials now)

[Maritime Q-Scout]

Pre-game started.

[Maritime Q-Scout]

Pat just gave a shoutout to Calgary Puck.

If you have any questions you can tweet them to @CBSE_pbp and if they aren't answered on the air I'll post the answers here.

Poirier with a first period goal to follow up his 4 goal game. 5 goals in his last 4 periods of hockey.

[kobasew19]

Gatineau beat Rouyn-Noranda 6-3 tonight...

@QMJHL: Emile Poirier, @NHLFlames prospect got his 3rd hat trick of the season tonight. He also had a 4 goal game this season too. @LesOlympiques

[djsFlames]

^ So he notched a hat trick tonight too? Confused.

Edit: Yup. 40 goals on the year now. 6th in QMJHL scoring.

[sureLoss]

From Feb 7:



Yes he had a hat trick tonight

[djsFlames]

It would be awesome to see him hit 50+. I don't think a Flames prospect has done that in probably a couple decades in any of the CHL leagues.
