Sabres 3 Leafs 2: Myers and Miller Shine in Sabres Victory

You can blame your dislike of him on whatever you want. If you’re being honest with yourself – the real reason you don’t like Myers is because he IS good. Which, coincidentally, is why lots of pundits are saying he might or should win the Calder trophy.

You claim you’ve seen nothing special from him and then say you don’t watch many games. Well the games we can assume you have seen include the one last night. I’d say he looked pretty good offensively and defensively.

And lastly, if you want to compare rookie seasons between Schenn and Myers guess who’s still coming up short. 14 points and a minus 12 on the year, not very impressive. Myers is a plus 9 with 26 points. Hell, Myers has more points this year then Schenn has in both of his years.

Put the game on mute and tune your computer to the Sabres radio broadcast. There will probably be less slobbering.

But other than last night i have seen nothing special either offensively OR defensively from Myers. While I don’t catch many Buffalo games, I’ll take your word on him playing well in the ones I have seen.

That’s just kinda retarded. That’s like me saying the MONSTAAAR is worse than Vesa because I saw him give up 6 goals in his last game. I could actually take your word that he’s going to be great but unlike Myers the stats don’t prove that.

D) being compared insistently to our own young stud defenseman in Luke Schenn who is having a softmore slump (they should be comparing rookie seasons)

Fair enough, this is the internet you know. Though you’d probably be better off sticking with the sophomore slump excuse.

In 70 games Schenn had 12 assists and 2 goals for 14 points and was a -12.
In 43 games Myers has 20 assists and 6 goals for 26 points and is a +9.

In his rookie season Schenn averaged 21:32 TOI.
In his rookie season Myers averaged 23:06 TOI.

Schenn, I’m only guessing due to stats unless the Leafs PP was absolutely atrocious last year, did not play on the 1st team PP and managed only 1 PPG and 0 PPA.
Myers is currently playing 1st team PP mins and has 3 PPG & 6 PPA.

Schenn blocked 80 shots in 70 games.
Myers has blocked 56 shots in only 43 games.

Schenn was doing this while playing for a team willing to sell their soul for Tavares.
Myers is doing this while playing for a team with the 3rd most points in the NHL.

E) he has become a running joke, which has little to do with him and more to do with one of your own coming over and praising Myers as the second coming of Bobby Orr.

MONSTER! Also a team of Kessels could beat a team of the Russians and Canadians combined in the Olympics, with that team putting 10 players on the ice.

The likly hood of a Myers Joke at PPP being because of hatred for him is pretty low and is actually more likely to be on account of it being a cheap laugh

I used to believe you, I truly did. But you’ve crossed over to denial for the sake of the “joke” now. Myers dominated the game last night. In both ends. And you know it.
