Leafs fans wait till the 4th!

We seem to be selective about how we remember players.

 

Sudin often did holler at refs and opponents. Did he foam at the mouth like sideshow bob? No. Did he chase guys around the ice for a cheap-shot? No.

 

He could play a physical game (he was built similar to Lindros) but he was better at setting up some very run-of-the-mill linemates. We are very passionate about our sports, but that passion clouds our judgment sometimes as well.

 

He rarely missed games, and when he was injured he came back quicker then predicted more often then not.

 

None of that means that I think he was the best hockey player ever, but it does mean that I think he does not get as much credit as he deserves.

Plus/minus, on its own, is a stat that holds less and less importance to people in, or who know, hockey.

 

 

I'm sure plus/minus means very little to leaf fans.

If you think your top forward line having stats like -20 and -29 isn't a relative stat then you're talking out your :asshat: .

 

I guess I'm not "on the inside" of hockey like you are. :whistling: Who are your major league affiliations anyways?

 

I do consider myself to know the game quite well btw.
