Do you know what happens when you speak before looking into the details?

Crosby was the same. Jonathan Toews was the same. Separated by months.

You're right. He's touted as being better than Toews and equal to Crosby. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

Hey, it's not my words. Take it up with the NHL/news networks/analysts/whoever else keeps saying that stuff.

Sorry your feelings got hurt. Sorry you were proved wrong.

Hey e30... You're right. Connor was a terrible captain last night. I mean, what kind of leader would score 2 goals in a night and motivate his team mates to be the best they can? Such shame. Much shame.

Did I hurt your feelings by proving you wrong? Let's replay the scenario, shall we?:

E30: wtf. McJesus is too young to be captain. He can't lead shit.

Taco: actually, he's in line with some of the best, as far as age is concerned.

E30: FUCK YOU, DON'T BE A DOUCHE. HE SUCKS COMPARED TO THOSE GUYS!!!

Nope & nope. I simply said what anyone outside Edmonton is thinking 19 & 1/2 season under his belt is young to be Captain. He came back with a bunch of bs about proving me wrong, like any self congratulatory laughing at his own bad jokes jerk is known to do and when I said don't be a douche rained a sh!tstorm of curses.

Cabby, FWIW, you're going to be on your own if you think McDavid is not ready for the captaincy of the Oilers. Unfortunately, such a great talent has gone to a team that does not deserve him (Oilers) but, that's the reality. But, on any squad short of Pittsburgh, Chicago, and possibly Dallas, I would wager McDavid would be given the C.

He's THAT good.

So wait... I wasn't allowed to prove you wrong? You're such a whiny little bitch. I'm self congratulatory by proving your statement was 100% incorrect and that you pull bullshit statements with zero backing behind them? All I did was prove you wrong- in a joking way- and you go on to call me a douche and canadian trump because you couldn't handle being on the losing end.

You then go on to say he's nothing like the rest? You really are a sad little man. Admit when you've been bested. Maybe look outside the eastern conference for a few seconds to learn something. Maybe listen and read what he's done prior to the nhl and what he did in that half nhl season already. The guy has his team mates falling in line and yes, he's only 19.

And for the record- I at least can admit my team sucks. I'm looking forward to a mediocre season

Regardless of how good he is he has 1/2 a season in the league. I am certain many veterans will not appreciate being "led" by him. Additionally the wall of stats & attack from TB was uncalled for 1st response.

Then his wall of abusive cursing was inappropriate.

So Crosby shouldn't have been captain? Or Lecavalier? Or toews?. Maybe learn more about the team and the age of everyone before spewing nonsense about veterans

I've been around here long enough, helped enough members and continue to help members, caused enough $hit with members, bantered with enough members, to not give a flying f*** what you think about my tenure here. Please show me how helpful you've been to people on these boards, besides posting in the hockey thread. Oh, you can't? Thanks for confirming.

You better believe I'm coming in like a bull in a china shop. And I'll be f***ing it all up from top to bottom, regardless of whether you like it or not. I'm well within the rules of the forum.

Actually chappie, I was the first to get an 09 intake on an 01 CLS, have the write up & was asked for and gave my write up to Autoblog.com Also the RL caliper mod? and many many others so.....

I asked if you were the Canadian Trump & asked you not to be a douche. Very different from calling you those things, OTOH you have called ma all measure of names.

Cabbie: Okay...I get that McDavid was injured for half of last season. And I suppose, having a team lead by committee would work...BUT, everyone including their grandmas know that this Oilers team is McDavid's. It was pretty much 10000% confirmed when the Oilers sent Hall to the Devils. There is no ifs, ands, or buts.

I guess you do have a point why you think it's too early because McDavid only completed a partial season. But, in THIS case, I think it's a non-issue because well, it's McDavid. He's on another tier that only a few players are on. And as much as I worship Toews, McDavid on a talent-level is heads-over-heels better. That doesn't mean I don't think Captain Serious will show the kid a thing or two if he's assigned to check him and shut him down though.

I acknowledge he is good, I acknowledge he is on a team that leaves quite a bit to be desired. I think it is a disservice to him to put him at this point in his career in a position where his teammates are going to be upset having him as their leader. An example would be WWII, they were losing officers at an alarming rate and turning them out of officer candidate school to lead men that had been in combat for some time. They were referred to as 90 day wonders and both unable to lead well and not treated with the respect leaders need.

Add to that TB's attitude and I'm ok messing with him.

After his attack on my input to the site, I looked at his. Going back a few days because that is all I am willing to waste, I see alotta the same nonsense going on here everywhere he has posted (over 3 or so days).

As he said he is here to break some china.
