Unsubstantiated drivel. Go pound sand.

Who is this PlusOne clown?

You said you “Don’t really care” so I was going to let this one go. But then, you replied a few times so it seems maybe you do care.

“Unsubstantiated drivel” seems to be my line that really got you upset. Here are a few quotes just from this thread;
“He's playing like an idiot right now.”
“The whole team is rolling and he's pouting all the time”
“Leon is the most "me first" guy on this team”
“Leon takes early game penalties way too often. He does it all the time and it's effing annoying.”
“Leon's playing brutal lately.”
“He's struggling to drive play with two groups of wingers,”

Above there is nothing of substance, hence my use of the word unsubstantiated. There is a lot of hyperbole, opinion and odd, misplaced anger. As far as the drivel part, it just seemed to fit but, to use your words “I'm sticking by my sentiment.”
You see, the above is my opinion, it’s unsubstantiated, and some may even think it’s drivel.
Other’s might say your posting history speaks for itself and my statement is in fact, well, fact.

When I pushed back on your statements you seemed upset and said;
“Would you like me to use numbers every time I talk about him? Is that how this discourse works?”

No, numbers aren’t required to have an opinion, that said, if your opinion is easily disproven by numbers or any other facts then it might help people respect said opinion if you had some in your own defence.

I find being open to other opinions is important so when I read this “Look back at how many games he's taken an early penalty this season.” I decided to take you up on that and had a look;
So far Drai has;
10 penalties (9 minors, one ten minute misconduct) for 28 total minutes
4 are in the first period
3 total PPG’s were scored while he was in the box. Twice during his 4 first period penalties.

So while it is a small sample size, 27GP, 4 first period penalties doesn’t seem like a lot. 2 first period goals against over that 27 games sure isn't a major reason for concern.

He doesn’t take a lot of penalties in general and rarely has it hurt the team.

I could likely find reasonable evidence for most, if not all, of your criticisms to be your opinion, but an incorrect one, with no facts to back them up. Have a look through his linemates stat with/without him if you want to prove yourself wrong. (especially this gem “He's struggling to drive play with two groups of wingers,”).
I wont, as this has gone on long enough already and I have a Christmas party to get to so lastly;

“We don't all look at our team through rose-coloured glasses, 24/7. “
Thanks, a couple other posters here put me in the Debbie downer crowd so it is a nice change to be in the cheerleader squad for once.
