You haven't made a post based on any fact. Marchand had 29 points in 61 games getting limited icetime. Ya those stats are terrible. I did not see th estat for missed opportunities can you please show me wher his goalposts and fanned on shots on the wing or where he couldn't get the puck over the goalie when he had him out of position etc are. You know things that veterans and guys with more experience are able to do. You still have not been able to address how such a small untalented hockey player was able to beat out all the other U18 hockey players in Canada to get a spot on that team. Do you have an opinion on that? You still are unable to explain why so many other teams came looking for Marchand...any opinion on that? Make a post about hockey...something other than he is to small and I hope you are right...you got anything...knob? Why was that aimed at me? Careless use of the quote button....collateral damage...I'm not in midseason form...trying to work etc, etc, deepest apologies extended.

Poster Duffman gets 2 minutes for obstruction-quoting (quoting someone who was not in possession of the argument). Team Billy gets the power play.
Referee Thomander.

Geeze you bitches have been gettin all worked up since I left. I think Duffman is even starting to spell in Tongues. I think I'll call him bitchman.
Brad Marchand had 29 Points in 61 games Girard had 12 points in 24 games which if he had played 61 game as well by simple mathematics would have give him 30.5 points. A team full of Girards or Marchands could not win this league.
I have no idea why U18 Team Canada put him on the roster, but I sure know that I would trade him. Bernier had much better numbers from the start with the wildcats so stop treating him like he's Bernier.
Now there that should give you two self proclaimed knowitalls something to bitch about.

Do you honestly not understand the difference 3 years of development makes?

Alright let's objectify an appropriate stat that will define success for Bradley. He is now 17 and that is usually the age at which you get the biggest change in a junior career. So given that he will be playing with players that are even better than they were last year, I would expect that he should be able to come up with 20 goals and 25 assists over 60+ games. Better than that I hope that his +/- should 10+. Can we agree on this?

Wow bitchman ...I am dealing with a mental giant. Since we are giving out cute petnames...I guess since I have no idea who you are and can only judge your lack of character from your posts I guess Moron is an appropriate nickname for you. Somebody already explained the difference between a 16 year old and a 19 year old in terms of development. I would explain it to you again but you will understand it better when you hit puberty. The only person in the world comparing Bernier to Marchand is...You. A simple answer Marchand is on Team Canada because of Talent. Marchand does not have to be a Bernier...he has to be the same Marchand he has been at every level of hockey.

Hey Duffman, if you and Billy don't like insults then do throw them, as you started it.
Why don't you comment on Marchands stats? I think I'm being more than conservative. If he can hit this mark, +/- being the most important one, then he's going to be very important for the team. Can you agree?

To my mind,I believe that Marchand will prove to be another Patrick Yetman.I think Brad was better at 16 because Patrick didn't play Major Junior at 16(I don't think) and was a lower draft pick.If Marchand can play like Yetman(at age 19 and 20) then Marchand was worth the high pick-and I do think that Brad will put up these good numbers at age 18,19 and 20.This year,I kind of expect #'s similar to what mackevin is saying(20 goals,25 assists).
My 2 cents...
