Mogilny is a different era, but was awesome. Patty certainly helped. Who is driving Cozens' improvement but Dylan himself? He isn't playing with star players, except the PP, and most of his production is at EV. @Thorny what in this post do you disagree with? Do you disagree that Cozens is hitting production milestones at a younger age than Thompson? Do you disagee the Mogilny was aided by playing with a HOF center? Do you disagree that Dylan isn’t playing with star player except on the PP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eichel developed into .93 guy a season before, and 2 years younger than Cozens As I said before you seem to arbitrarily be focusing on a year 2-3 jump specifically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing a poster's age will inform this debate. Some of us are an age where we truly were not the center of our families or the world when we were little. That has changed and not for the benefit of society IMHO. Another contrarian view I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was merely showing how much Dylan has progressed in such a short time period following up on @Doohickie's posts about things to excited about the Sabres. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its contrarian today because of the focus on PC and other things. As a kid I literally got smacked around by a few teachers and other adults too, it didn't hurt me then because it was normal, and I was told I deserved it, but that still didn't make it right. Certainly I was not better then because of it, and I did not want that happening to my 3 kids when they were in school. Today is another world and you can't judge it by the 60's and 70's. My golf partner is my age and he has a grandchild in 3rd grade. He just explained to me today some of the things that are allowed (tolerated) at schools today. That story is for an OT thread.

Perhaps she shouldn't have been encouraged, and kids certainly are treated with greater deference now than we were at that age, but that still doesn't excuse MH's behavior. Most adults in that situation would either ignore her or be nice. Only a small minority would go out of their way to shoo her away. Of that minority, I think a pretty good percentage are likely to be all-around jerks -- and in MH's case, there is corroboration from his former co-workers, to say nothing of the guy on twitter who was allegedly the girl's dad.

Dan Dunleavy went out of his way to talk to young Madison Zimmer during the broadcast. The polar opposite of MH. He even knew that Skinner was her favorite player and mentioned it when Skinny scored. Dunleavy might not be the best play by play guy ever (he's pretty good and getting better imo), but he is a class act. Another high character signing by this club and I think Donny Meatballs can still develop him further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
