I don't want to sound like a dick, but this is the second article you write in a row that is ridiculous.

Good for you for trying to make it as a writer, but the content is horrible. And Bozak would still be a need in Toronto even if he wasn't first line center.

I didnt find this article (or his last one for that matter) ridiculous. He is simply writing an article and voicing his opinion and offering predictions. What's wrong with that?

Who's to say some of this doesn't come true? We do it on these forums everyday when someone asks us what we think someone will produce for points.

If you want to criticize him for grammar and spelling, that's one thing, but to criticize him for the content is just a bit narrow minded on your part.

Ya, predictions are predictions. The best ones always seem 'ridiculous' to some when they're first made. A few typos and run-on sentences in there that I would pick at, but I don't see what's so bad about the content.

I was hoping for a "Phaneuf will be traded" prediction.
That is my prediction.

my prediction is that the leafs play the rest of the year in Blue and White jerseys!

I don't follow. Your first post says his predictions are ridiculous, but now you are implying sarcastically that they are obvious. Which is it?

No one ever looks good making predictions but, we all do it.

disagree with the Bozak stuff

I also disagree with the Bozak stuff, I don't think Mike Richards is an upgrade over Bozak. Nor do I believe that he should be traded.

In addition, Kadri is already a better player and he needs to be taking Bozak’s minutes, or, in the event they actually acquire a top centre, hopefully that will coincide with the coach splitting up JVR and Kessel, resulting in Kadri being more effectively utilized, which is a move so obvious it pains me to have to still be calling for it to happen.



That's a run on sentence with commas used improperly.

Predicting fantasy scoring numbers is very different than predicting trades, firings, usage, etc.

It's actually pretty easy to predict how many points players will get with decent accuracy.
Predicting trades and firings is usually just throwing things at a wall to see what sticks.

That said, James Tanner is just doing what so many in the hockey writing world does.
He is feeding an insatiable appetite that many fans have for this type of reading material.
