but nobody is worked up, just stating a facts...dude is arrogant

might be knocked down a peg now though
These aren't facts. Not only is your opinion of it poorly argued, it's also the minority one in the hockey community. Nobody else shares it. That's like me saying Albert Einstein was not a smart man, listing some terrible reasons as why I feel that way, and then claiming it's fact, despite everyone stupid enough to entertain the notion completely disagreeing. And I mean literally everyone.

Your statements are the exact reverse and polar opposite of the term fact. They are, however, synonymous with the words dumb, sad, and crazy.

Matthews is 3 points back with 4 games in hand. He's already the better overall player easily. He'll pass Laine in points.
BTW, Matthews is at a 40 goal pace with a 12% %. He's not a bad goal scorer at all.

Mirtle owned Lawless bad. That clip of Lawless on TSN radio was embarrassing. He did not bring any facts into his argument.
If you're in the media you shouldn't just say "I Think Laine Will Be Better". Bring up reasons why. Mirtle did that. Winnipeg media are amateurs. They could not get hired to work in Toronto. He's only a part of TSN to represent those hicks in Winnipeg.

Damn you're defensive. Did Laine pee in your cereal?

Matthews is a Leaf. No Leaf is ever bad according to Tuna. Except when they are traded for a bad return - then they were never good anyway.

Yup. And my god is that schtick ever tired. BigTuna makes it completely impossible to actually have a discussion thread that relates to the Leafs.

Yet I make better arguments than Gary Lawless.

No, you really don't. Your arguments more or less begin and end with ‘Cuz Leafs!’

No, you don't.

As someone who refuses to make use of the ignore feature on this board you are an easy poster to ignore because virtually all your posts are virtually the same.

Lawless never used stats like I have to back-up his argument. Mirtle humiliated him.

Except for the whole statistics part to prove one's point.

Cherrypicked numbers from a tiny sample size != statistics.

Loudly asserting one's point over and over != proof.

Rookie Scoring
Laine 32gp 17g 25pts (82gp 44g 64pts)
Matthews 28gp 13g 22pts (82gp 38g 64pts)
Marner 28gp 7g 20pts (82gp 21g 59pts)
Nylander 27gp 6g 19pts (82gp 18g 58pts)


Oh my god that Laine is running away with it!
The interesting thing is, Matthews has only a 12% shooting and he's not far from Laine in goals despite the feeling Laine is in another universe in goal scoring.

And BTW, Laine is dead last amongst the listed in every advanced stat.

The most important stat is scoring 5 on 5 per 60 minutes.

Heh heh

Not that I'm defending lawless as I can't stand him but representing hicks in Winnipeg? You do know he's the CFL "insider" for TSN. Of course you wouldn't know that because once Mark Masters gushes about what socks and breakfast Matthews and Marner had for the first 10 minutes of sportscentre you turn it off.

The big city, open-minded, cosmopolitan people of Toronto that voted for Rob Ford say hi.
