Comments for Burnsy: Time to cut bait on these falling stars at http://hockey.dobbersports.com , comment 1 to 18 out of 18 comments http://hockey.dobbersports.com Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:39:24 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11319 I respect that the writer of the article says: Chris Burns wrote: "Just Wait I had to throw this together last minute .... once I'm writing with a week of thought behind it, you will all be pleased " _______________________________________________________________________________ And just like to add, from a fantasy perspective you pretty much hit the nail right on the head. I sold off Lecavalier + Brodeur very early this season. Just omit the unnecessary speculation of "passion is gone" and you're good. Fantasy hockey doesn't dictate a players "passion." - Randall Fri, 21 Jan 2011 05:58:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11295 I had to throw this together last minute .... once I'm writing with a week of thought behind it, you will all be pleased (except Dobber) - Chris Burns Thu, 20 Jan 2011 19:56:18 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11290 I like the article. Good combination of fact, humour and prediction - Mike Thu, 20 Jan 2011 15:02:32 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11282 because it refuses to load for me. address of the pic is: http://traumanotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/burns_fire.jpg - Repent Tokyo Thu, 20 Jan 2011 10:47:02 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11281 Thought he's been overvalued since the beginning of last year, and people thought I was nuts. Now he strings together some "hard skating" games and all of a sudden I'm supposed to feel inspired? Please... Last I checked, "passion" wasn't a scoring cat in my league. - Bomm Bastic Thu, 20 Jan 2011 10:43:58 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11280 I agree with the Hitman's point about Vinny. Clearly he's not putting up points as he once did, but I don't think the passion is gone. As mentioned, he has been playing with a lot of passion and energy since returning, he's just not scoring. The cause likely has more to do with not being the 'go-to' guy in Tampa with Stamkos around and lingering injuries. If you want a 100 point player you'll be disappointed, but I think he's still a 70-80 point guy. - Tom Thu, 20 Jan 2011 10:13:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11279 You saved me from proving that The Hockey Hitman has no clue. As the article mentions ... this is about guys WHO WERE top 20 picks and no longer warrant that. Guy Boucher has no choice but to "rave" about a 10 million dollar bust. I think you should do yourself a favor and try to get over your man crush on Vinny ... go with Stamkos ... he's waaay cuter. Perhaps my next article will be titled "10 Reasons That Tampa Bay Doesn't Deserve An NHL Team" - Chris Burns Thu, 20 Jan 2011 09:43:59 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11278 I don't know if Lecavalier is related to you or if you're possibly even Vinny himself trying to defend his place among the Fantasy Studs but I think you're a little hard on Burnsy. Burnsy is correct....Lecavalier is not relevant fantasy wise. A guy can be valuable in the NHL and still be a fantasy letdown. This article is on fantasy hockey. Unless your pool rewards points for mentoring younger players, your argument is way off base. P.S. This brilliant and inspiring play of Lecavalier's you're raving about since his injury? He has 12 points in 17 games and is a -8. (Shaking my head) Fan Boy. - Mr. Ben Thu, 20 Jan 2011 06:54:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11276 The Writer of this article obviously has not been watching Vinny Lecavalier play since returning from his hand injury this season. Vinny is clearly playing some of his most passionate hockey we've seen from him in years. Coach Guy Boucher has been raving about him, his two way play and the example hes setting for younger players. To say "his passion is gone" is a clear indicator that you are only examining stats/production. Simply put, you didn't do the proper research you should have before including him this piece. While Vinny will probably never put up another 90 or 100 pt season, thats not news to anyone, and hes long-lost his value as a top 10 or so scorer in fantasy leagues. But hes been playing with renewed vigor and determination which you'd known if you actually watch him play. Do yourself a favor and research a little more, maybe actually watch the games of the players you're telling people to sell off on, before you write your next article. Peace. - The Hockey Hitman Thu, 20 Jan 2011 05:57:05 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11274 I think Iggie can get it back..just not in Calgary as you say. If he went to a team with young talent he could use his skills again without the added pressure of being the only offensive weapon available.....but yea he needs some old fashion motivation to make it work - mike hess Thu, 20 Jan 2011 05:37:25 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11265 I agree w/ all, and [i]"...my wife stopped believing that drinking a case of beer was “part of the creative process”[/i]. toooooooo damn funny! Looking forward to future reads.... - Bomm Bastic Thu, 20 Jan 2011 03:05:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11260 In Iggy's defense, the Flames are 14th in the West. The only team below them is Edmonton. Yet only 5 RW-eligible players in Yahoo! pools have more goals than Iggy. And only 8 RW-eligible players have more assists. Iggy could realistically finish in the top 5 for each stat, despite playing for an absolute bottom feeder. If that falls below your expectations, then they were far too high to begin with... - D M Thu, 20 Jan 2011 01:46:40 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11259 Burnsy.. you peaked at the 'White Crayon' column.. it was that sort of cutting edge stuff that had me tuned in.. this is the type of stuff I can get by sorting the stats on the NHL website... It's like watching Brett Favre come out again and again.. at some point you forget he was great and just feel sorry for him.. Go out on an edge.. create some stir.. You haven't been the same since Burke handed you your ass in the infamous Johnston Beach 3 way standoff.. Your better than this man... Goob It just makes me sad - Shayne Dustin Wed, 19 Jan 2011 21:36:43 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11258 I agree with all these. Been saying it to myself for about a year now. Glad to see someone has a little balls to state what to me in a no brainer. Spezza is a tin man, nothing more. Never has been. Alot of denial about him out there. - Tim Kozlow Wed, 19 Jan 2011 21:22:51 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11257 Most guys i'm with you but I strongly disagree about Spezza...guy came back last year around this same time from an injury afte slumping miserably on to score a point-per-game+ to finish the season...Ottawa as a whole this season has been awful across the board from Spezza, to Gonchar, to Alfie, to their netminding so I wouldn't single out Spezza in that regard as it's been that whole team as a unit...I expect Spezza unlike some of these other guys to comeback and finish strong on his own end so I wouldn't advocate people abandon ship on him right now - MT319 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 21:03:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11255 o, gotta add. liked the old article pictures you used to use. think i saw it pop up again when you chimed in on the anniversary article - Chandan Singh Wed, 19 Jan 2011 19:50:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11254 pleasant surprise indeed. looking fwd to Wednesdays now - Chandan Singh Wed, 19 Jan 2011 19:49:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/3396-burnsy-time-to-cut-bait-on-these-falling-stars#comment-11253 The reason theyre all canadian? all the washed up Europeans already left for the KHL.
