It’s the way you respond to differing opinions that draw ire.

Tony did this long form article that essentially addresses your comments on Ohgren (and residually Rossi) asking that everyone have patience. Kinda like how the Avenots gave McKinnon 3-4 years to become really good. But you can have your opinion, too, as factually bankrupt as it is.

Can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings. I knew January was going to be tough due to injuries and matchups but Feb/March looks a lot nicer. A little break for time to heal and we can get back to winning. Hopefully we catch our swagger again after knocking off the AVS.

If Tony would like to chat, he is very welcome to, as I value his comments

you and your comments on the other hand mean nothing

That’s what this was:

   23 hours ago,  Tony Abbott said: 

I swear to God, y'all would've traded MacKinnon. 

You can't have a young team if you're not willing to let them develop.

what's the point of this reference to MacKinnon? is this again about Rossi? I think you and your fanboys are the only ones that keep bringing Rossi back to discussion. 

or is this saying that you expect Rossi to be the next MacKinnon? He is not and won't be but okay sure go stat hunting. 

believe it or not - we have a player just as good as MacKInnon but his name is not Rossi. Oh my. Yes. not Rossi. 

 

But you had to be your usual churlish self. Lashing out is not a good way to have a discussion.

i think i responded to Tony in a friendly banter (as he has many times to me) and i hope he too values my feedback and understands that sometimes people have differences of opinion. most people on this chat want Wild to be the best they can be, but there is no one way to accomplish. if you want to continue to ridicule and belittle others, go for it, but this is the last time i reply to you.

“I think you and your fanboys” is respectful?

Or “okay sure go stat hunting” is?

While I'll admit I was ready to deal Rossi two years ago.  I'm not anymore.  I'd like to see flashes from Ogz (good stick, toughness, speed, etc.) He's Duhaime 2.0 IMO.  What i've learned about the AHL over the years of being a Wild fan is that the AHL and NHL are apples and oranges.  

I respect you admitting that about Rossi.

 

It goes without saying that the Ahl and nhl are different.

Do you not understand how a player does in each step up in competition is a very good indicator of how they will be in the NHL? In his draft year Ohgren had some type of record in the Swedish jr league for points. He had something like 2 points per game. His next step up was the Swedish men’s league where he did very well and scored a lot of goals. I actually think he was a point per game in the playoffs for them.

Now, in his rookie season in the Ahl he is basically averaging a point per game and a goal every other game, at 20 years old…You obviously don’t have a clue how promising that is. Go look at duheims stats. He was never even close to a point per game in the Ahl. Youre very obviously not informed about the guy and yet you’re very opinionated about him.

You have these ridiculous expectations for a player and can’t seem to grasp that HES 20 YEARS OLD! He isn’t a finished product and he’s already excelling in each step up. Did you see him in the game where he had two assists? That primary assist was beautiful. Those are flashes of things that he’s capable of. He just needs time actually develop. 

He deserves patience just like any other player. Go look up the statistics on players who are a point per game their first season in the Ahl. It’s an incredibly low number I would imagine. Most that are capable of that, turn into very good nhl players farther down the line.
