A real humdinger, if I ever saw one.
and also played on wing I believe
Correct. Stammer has played mostly on the wing the last 3-4 years now. He’s still good at faceoffs though so makes sense to use him there but then he switches to wing after the draw as he’s just not a very good C defensively. Was never his strong suit but now that he’s in his mid-30s, it makes more sense to use him as a top line with not having to worry much about defense.
Yeah I don't ever remember him being a full blown center

Wrong.
Look Ace. Fact is on most teams Thomas is a 2C and a on a few he’s a 3C or plays wing.

It’s ok to acknowledge that. Even Armstrong said we value Thomas more than everyone else
The only team in the league you could say Thomas is a 3C on is the Oilers. You couldn’t name 16 teams (most teams) where Thomas would be a 2C.
Dallas, Nashville, Tampa, Oilers, just off the top of my head. Where he’d be a 3C.
Nashville? Thomas is the 1C there. Please name 2 centers better than him on that team...
Tampa? I'll give you Point but Thomas and him are very close. Thomas is better than Cirelli

And again - your claim was Thomas is a 2c on the most teams. Shocker you can't name those teams...
Stamkos, O’Reilly.

I disagree on Cirelli.

and I already NAMED the teams last week.

I mean looking at line combos, he’s easily a 2C on a lot of teams. He’d be a winger on Buffalo. He’s not better than Tage Thompson, Konsta Helenius, or Josh Norris.

Carolina he’s a winger or doesn’t even make the team.

Colorado-AHL or wing

Dallas 3C or wing

Florida-AHL or wing

Devils 3C

Islanders 3C

Rangers 3C or Wing

Ottawa 3C or Wing

Philadelphia 3C

SJ-AHL or Wing

Toronto 3C or Wing

VGK- AHL

Wash-Wing
Dude you just say things for a laugh. You are naming primary wingers and saying they would push thomas down. You are just trolling to troll.
If you’ve got a problem with this list. Talk to Puck Pedia. They have lineups for every team with a full roster (meaning healthy)

I can’t help that you don’t like facts.
Why would i take it up wirh puck pedia? They are not the ones making this ignorant list. They are just the culprit who told you a player took a faceoff or telling you possible line combinations. If you have to google a team to see who their centers are, then you dont have a educated opinion. Why? Because you had to be educated to have a educated opinion.
I’m sorry I destroyed your narrative with research and facts.

I know it’s hard to accept being wrong right now. But I’m sure you’ll be fine.
My narrative is that you are naming primary wingers and saying they would be the primary center OVER robert thomas.
In one of your previous lists you said kogan stankoven. Tell me again how stankoven is a better center and how thomas wouldnt make the team. Stankoven only plays center because carolina ALSO doesnt have a true 2c. Aho might not be the 1c with thomas. But you know all of this.
Carolina’s listed centers are Aho, Stankoven, and Staal.

Thomas isn’t in the same stratosphere as Aho or Stankoven, and they won’t play him over their captain.
Ok, you are just trying to be funny.

For a bit of posting recently he was being all deferential to other posters, open to other ideas etc. Clearly he was warned by the mods, for the 8 billionth time, to calm down. He calmed for a minute. And now? Back to his intentional horrible trolling takes "Thomas would be the 3rd line center on many teams, holloway is horrible, broberg blah blah blah etc etc" and back to fighting and bickering with just about the entire board in every freaking thread. The guy clearly gets off being contrarian because, tight life and all.

We've all seen this movie many times. Soon he's going to get banned again or we are going to see an apology post from him (I think we are at 3 or 4 of these historically) telling the board he will be a better person etc.

These goofs are nothing if not consistent.
Ban? What for? I’ve kept my promise under the terms of my reinstatement thus far.

I’ve been a model person and poster since my reinstatement.

Part of me wants to take all of the centers on these teams and put them next to thomas to show in detail how ridiculous this is. But i dont think he actually believes what he says

I really like Stank for the player he is but nobody in their right mind would remotely rank him above Thomas.

And while I’d expect most to rank Aho a little above Thomas, they’re definitely in the same tier of good two-way, pt/game 1Cs that are both a tier below the top guys like McDavid, MacKinnon etc.

He has a career high 44 point season.. he's not even close to being on the same tier as Thomas.. its not even close.

The only team in the league you could say Thomas is a 3C on is the Oilers. You couldn’t name 16 teams (most teams) where Thomas would be a 2C.
Dallas, Nashville, Tampa, Oilers, just off the top of my head. Where he’d be a 3C.
Nashville? Thomas is the 1C there. Please name 2 centers better than him on that team...
Tampa? I'll give you Point but Thomas and him are very close. Thomas is better than Cirelli

And again - your claim was Thomas is a 2c on the most teams. Shocker you can't name those teams...
Stamkos, O’Reilly.

I disagree on Cirelli.

and I already NAMED the teams last week.

I mean looking at line combos, he’s easily a 2C on a lot of teams. He’d be a winger on Buffalo. He’s not better than Tage Thompson, Konsta Helenius, or Josh Norris.

Carolina he’s a winger or doesn’t even make the team.

Colorado-AHL or wing

Dallas 3C or wing

Florida-AHL or wing

Devils 3C

Islanders 3C

Rangers 3C or Wing

Ottawa 3C or Wing

Philadelphia 3C

SJ-AHL or Wing

Toronto 3C or Wing

VGK- AHL

Wash-Wing
Dude you just say things for a laugh. You are naming primary wingers and saying they would push thomas down. You are just trolling to troll.
If you’ve got a problem with this list. Talk to Puck Pedia. They have lineups for every team with a full roster (meaning healthy)

I can’t help that you don’t like facts.
Why would i take it up wirh puck pedia? They are not the ones making this ignorant list. They are just the culprit who told you a player took a faceoff or telling you possible line combinations. If you have to google a team to see who their centers are, then you dont have a educated opinion. Why? Because you had to be educated to have a educated opinion.
I’m sorry I destroyed your narrative with research and facts.

I know it’s hard to accept being wrong right now. But I’m sure you’ll be fine.
My narrative is that you are naming primary wingers and saying they would be the primary center OVER robert thomas.
In one of your previous lists you said kogan stankoven. Tell me again how stankoven is a better center and how thomas wouldnt make the team. Stankoven only plays center because carolina ALSO doesnt have a true 2c. Aho might not be the 1c with thomas. But you know all of this.
Carolina’s listed centers are Aho, Stankoven, and Staal.

Thomas isn’t in the same stratosphere as Aho or Stankoven, and they won’t play him over their captain.
I really like Stank for the player he is but nobody in their right mind would remotely rank him above Thomas.

And while I’d expect most to rank Aho a little above Thomas, they’re definitely in the same tier of good two-way, pt/game 1Cs that are both a tier below the top guys like McDavid, MacKinnon etc.
And why don’t you put Stankoven above him?

He’s the leading scorer for a conference final bound team.

Thomas is at home
So a guy with an 8 game hot streak is all of a sudden better than Thomas just because he’s on a Cup contending team even though his career high is 44 pts?? That’s insanity.

He has a career high 44 point season.. he's not even close to being on the same tier as Thomas.. its not even close.
I wonder if there is a remedial PuckPedia course Rollin’ could sign up for in order to actually understand what he is reading? :wink:

He's only got 1 point in his last 3 games.. does he now stink?

This guy doesn't just die on a hill....he has to build the hill chunk by chunk by chunk before he dies on it.

This is like round 4 with OLD Rollin doin his thing.

Soon we might hear what a great doctor he is. Or was.

It's ok to be wrong dude. I suggest you just accept that and not just once either.

You wanna change.....well then that means you gotta change your ways.

Or you find a team with 2 number ones and move Thomas to the 2nd line where he actually belongs.
Wrong.
Look Ace. Fact is on most teams Thomas is a 2C and a on a few he’s a 3C or plays wing.

It’s ok to acknowledge that. Even Armstrong said we value Thomas more than everyone else

mean looking at line combos, he’s easily a 2C on a lot of teams. He’d be a winger on Buffalo. He’s not better than Tage Thompson, Konsta Helenius - Has played 9 career games with 4 points. or Josh Norris - Has never been a point per game player

Carolina: Thomas is a #2 C and #1 some nights

Colorado- He's #2 ahead of Nelson at his age.

Dallas Thomas is their #1 C Wyatt Johnson isn't the defensive C and scores a lot on the PP not a 5v5 #1 C. Hintz has never been a point per game player.

Florida- He's their #2 C none of Florida's C's number compare to Thomas other than Barkov

Devils Thomas is a #2 C. Hischier has never been a point per game player

Islanders Thomas is their #1 C and they are moving either Horvat or Barzal to the wing.. Barzal has played primarily as a W for years now.

Rangers Thomas is their #1 C and they are moving Miller or Z to the wing.. Miller has had 2 good seasons and made a career out of it.

Ottawa #1 C as Stutzle can't match up against another teams top line. Neither Cozens or Pinto have come close to a point per game pace.

Philadelphia #1 C he's way ahead of anyone on the Flyers Zegras has played primarily wing and hasn't ever sniffed a point per game and is terrible defensively. Dvorak has a career high 51 points..

SJ-He's their #2 C.. he's leaps and bounds ahead of Misa and Smith (who was moved to W).

Toronto #2.. way ahead of JT at this point in his career

VGK- #2 C Hertl just ended a 23 game goalless streak and was never good defensively.

Wash- #1 C and its not even close. Strome has had 1 point per game season and that was an outlier compared to the rest of his career.


The only thing you are basing your comments on must be "I don't like Thomas"
