sure dude, betcha $20 he does NOT play 48 games this year

why is 9000 the magical number...I see your tagline but wtf? I guess you won't answer that out of principal, but isn't PM kinda cheating? lmao. Maybe someone else can fill me in as to why Ev is retiring?

how many people have we seen 'retire' and then come back over and over? Like who was that jackass who always pretended he was an expert in 'skating mechanics' ? How many times did that numbnuts come back? lol. Come on Ev, you're a huge homer but you add value to these forums, dontcha think guys? Lets give Ev some love

My guess is that he's tired of the forum. Too many dumbasses like you and me here.

Btw, you'll eat crow about Silfverberg. If you had spent one minute watching him play, you'd know that you are just completely wrong here.

well at least you lumped yourself in as well

if I hafta eat crow then I'm happy to do so but the betting man would take those odds any day. All that needs to happen is he gets a little banged up, catches the flu, or has a couple terribles games and he'll miss a game or two. Hell even if he doesn't have a terrible game, coaches often use that kind of thing as a motivating factor if they see a young guy coasting even for a second. I don't dispute his talent or NHL-readiness, but 100% for every game is unlikely

Obviously injuries would not be part of the bet. The question is if he's good enough to play or scratched/demoted. He's crazy good and he's made the transition to the NA ice while in Binghamton. He's here to stay.

Yep.
He's the real deal. He didn't come to NA after winning the MVP of SEL to play in Binghamton. Pretty excited to watch him play in a top 6 NHL role. Could he have a couple bad games and maybe spend one in the press box? Maybe, but he's still going to be a full time Senator.

So now you're dictating the terms of a bet between Ev and I???

Give your head a shake bud, that's now it works

Interesting debate (and bet lol) here boys. I'm excited to see Silverman in action too.

Mcgoo, sorry to chime in, but I'm pretty sure Dakkster is right about the injury thing:

I love how you always use "bud" in such an ironically derogatory way. I also love it when you bring your attitude despite being obviously wrong. How is that reading comprehension coming along for you... bud?

Wow...Dakkster vs Mcgoo battles never get old for me. Bahahahaha.

By the way...McGoo...I agree...you missed the original terms of the bet regarding the injury exclusion. But I'm guessing that it was intentional, to try and drive your counter part crazy and pull him out of retirement thereby somehow trying to express you unhumanly powers in the forums.

...

Or it was simply an oversight!

Carry on boys...

and I love how you continue to respond to my posts despite the fact that you've proudly placed me on 'ignore' multiple times now...gotta love that good ole fashioned hypocrisy!

but again, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Ev, if you wanna make a bet then go make your own bet with someone who gives a ****

that all said, I concede that I missed that part of Ev's post, probably because I was reading on my phone... but regardless I stand by my initial statement, 100% is a stretch for a prospect entering his first season, even as talented as he is. 96%? sure! 98% even, but I still bet he doesn't play every single game
