As a result they might not understand some of the finer points of playing the game. I have no idea whether Neo is in that group or not, which is why I asked. Sorry if that gets your panties in a bunch. I know people that have never put on skates or held a stick in their life, but know more than you about hockey. What does playing the game have to do with anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who do you think has had the better linemates throughout your career? Mantha. That has absolutely nothing to do with who is the better goal scorer though. Funny how you asked this dumb question, instead of the real question you're trying to get answered... Make another poll "Who is the better goal scorer, Mantha or Athanasiou?"... You already know the answer you'd get from that though, and you don't like it. Ask Steve Yzerman. Ask Jeff Blashill. Ask Ken Daniels. Ask Mickey Redmond. Ask anyone in the hockey world. They will all come back with the same answer. Mantha. You know why? Because Mantha is a better goal scorer. 4 minutes ago, kipwinger said: Why don't you answer the first question I asked, the thread poll, and then after I'm done owning you I'll let you know. Fair?

Now that you've said Mantha has the better linemates I'm about to make the "who is the better goal scorer" case using...ready for this?...empirical evidence. You ready? You excited?

mackel 764 Report post Posted December 18, 2019 Wow this is a testy thread... AA is Helm with some finish, Mantha is a prototypical power forward. Each is nice to have... AA's contract stunts and streakyness make him more expendable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Each is nice to have... AA's contract stunts and streakyness make him more expendable. Agreed, but none of that was what was being debated. I said that AA was the better goal scorer, he thinks Mantha is. The numbers only back up one of those claims. Hint: I'm being cocky because I've already done the math, unlike my little sugar plum over there, so I'm having fun with it. Also, Helm is really good defensively and AA is trash defensively. So aside from them both being fast they're pretty much nothing alike. AA is basically another Michael Grabner (i.e. really fast, really good scorer, not good at anything else).

What a f***ing loser. I guarentee I have played more "competitive hockey" than kipf***ingwinger. What does that have to do with anything though? This guy doesn't even watch hockey, let alone "play at a high level"...
