There’s no real argument about any of the above.
Pfft Staples shut you down Bingo…cause reasons.

haha it's always "when he's bringing his A game"

unstoppable! (when hes at peak performance)

no one can beat them! (when they are clicking on offense, defense is responsible and goaltender is making saves)

staples has found some neat little loop holes to make his outrageous absolute statements

rather than hyperbole I wonder if he's ever thought about just toning it down and being ****ing realistic

unstoppable teams with unstoppable players probably aren't 10-9 and sitting outside playoffs looking in . as hard as that is to believe

give him a break guys, we're talking about defensive hockey, not urinals so it's outside his range of expertise.

What exactly does his range of expertise cover? I can't imagine much of anything useful.

Essentially, he's somebody's "Uncle Dave" from Facebook.

The guy can't even tell the difference between a urinal and a sink.

I don't know how he keeps his job.

Even mentioning Drasaitl to the Selke trophe will cause Frank turns in his grave.

This is Edmonton we're talking about. Sinks and urinals are one and the same.
