Comments for Cage Match Tournament - Howe Bracket, Round 1 at http://hockey.dobbersports.com , comment 1 to 5 out of 5 comments http://hockey.dobbersports.com Fri, 24 May 2013 02:52:01 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4409-cage-match-tournament-howe-bracket-round-1#comment-19567 The irony of this situation is that this whole Sharp is better short-term thing is actually a new phenomenon. Prior to this season these two were basically neck and neck. Only this season has Sharp leapfrogged Ryan in scoring. - steve laidlaw Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:50:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4409-cage-match-tournament-howe-bracket-round-1#comment-19565 I also think this in an interesting result. Ryan was very highly touted coming into the league and helped by a few highlight reel goals he has never lost that cache. Sharp just keeps getting it done. It shows that GMs still fall for the allure of a potential breakout campaign (which will never happen IMO) overlooking a player who consistently performs at a higher level. For me, no-contest Sharp wins! - ktox Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:27:59 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4409-cage-match-tournament-howe-bracket-round-1#comment-19564 That's a very interesting outcome, and telling w/regard to how GMs go about determining value. I would agree Ryan's got the upside on Sharp, generally, and that's what this is about. But I could see playing the Sharp is better bang for the buck angle too. Better cost/benefit ratio as it were. I think that would be a valid argument. But spread out on the table, everything being equal and I had to pick one...???? Ryan. These are great matchups. - bomm Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:57:31 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4409-cage-match-tournament-howe-bracket-round-1#comment-19563 Thanks Ross but I gotta give props to the DobberHockey writers and forum posters who helped me out. They were in essence the selection committee. Once the players were seeded then I went after matchups I thought would be fun but this tournament would be nothing without the selection committee. - steve laidlaw Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:39:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4409-cage-match-tournament-howe-bracket-round-1#comment-19562 Great job on the matchups! Look forward to seeing the comments and results throughout the tournament! - Ross The Boss Palmer Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:33:10 +0100
