Can Jake Allen steal starts?

[havanablast21]

Hahaha thanks! Who doesn't love a little Muni?

I posted earlier in the thread that I thought Allen would have the better share of the tandem by January. Whether that proves to be true yet, we don't know. But...that post was called wishful thinking, which I was trying to point out was kind of ironic that it's starting to come true in part. That is all.

Ahhh. Ok.

It's a roll of the Dice. I assume your motives for your stance were routed in your belief Allen would out play Elliott and a Earn more Starts? Or was it a blanket statement that Allen will get more starts than Elliott regardless of the reason.

Both statements are valid but one has to do with Merrit and the other allows luck and good/bad fortune to play a factor.

Ask Bernier re:Quick and Theodore/Neuvirth re:Holtby etc.

I'm just interested in the roots of your statement.

Yeah no worries. I expected Allen to eventually outplay Elliot as the season progressed. Whether that was because of Allen's exceptional play or Elliot going down to injury or poor play. Obviously the season is only about a quarter in but it's nice to see that Allen is getting a real look for the first time in a while. Even if some old man is trying to come to his practice and steal his toys.

You took one word I said and used it to break down my claim by arguing about the definition of a word. I think I know what semantics means thank you very much.

What you claim to understand and what you actually understand seem to be two very different things, IMHO.

Good for you. Perhaps you can enlighten me on the subject?

It's always fun when people tell you that you are wrong and they are right but never actually say why they are right...

Good for you

Why would that be good for me? I thought this was all about you?

I mean, you are the one taking credit for what are actually matters of course, not me.


Can I take credit for predicting that Khudobin will "steal starts" if it turns out Ward is injured? Or has that ship sailed?

What bullshlt.

Didn't I say that post was sarcastic irony? Is there an echo in here?

First, I quoted your post in it's entirety at the time. The remainder wasn't there when I posted.

Second, I'll stand by my earlier statement. What you claim to understand and what you actually understand are two different things.

Why not just justify your statements, instead of requiring everyone else to decipher some hidden meaning?

You're not that complicated and you're not an enigma. It's pretty clear where you're coming from. You're just spouting bullshlt and trying to pretend that it's really something meaningful.

Are you one of those members who tries to start arguments with everyone?

Fact: I did not predict the Elliot injury if that's what you're looking for. Congrats. Woo hoo. You want to pat yourself on the back now?

Not everyone. Just the clueless ones who thy to take credit where it's not due. I think you'll find that I'm not the only one of us out there.

So, congratulations!

I didn't know that I couldn't contradict you or call you out for bullshlt. I apologize for exceeding my bounds, and I'll try to be less assertive of my opinions in the future.

(See? Now that's real sarcasm!)

Thanks Dad for taking me down a notch! I'll know better for next time

Look, just don't take credit where it isn't due. I don't have to be anyone's "Dad" to point that out. (Or, do I? Is that a "Dad" thing? Does everyone else in your life just humor you?)

Geez dude. Read my past posts. I think one horn tooting out of 200 plus is a pretty fair ratio. You really enjoy insulting people don't you? Do you need to talk about it?

Um, pardon me, but was there a point to this?

Anyone can cut-and-paste a quote of a dictionary definition, that's cheap. Try providing some context.

Are you trying to imply that I don't understand the meaning of "semantic"? If so, how would this definition inform that opinion?

(If I'm starting to sound like one of your teachers whom you found annoying, maybe there's a reason for that.)

I have indeed read your posts. I just award them less merit than you do. (For an example, see my post above.)
