I think I mostly agree with you, Maaco??? (as far as Vrana not being a great player, yet)!
But since you chose to quote my post for your response, I’m trying to figure what your point is, to me??
No where in my post do I claim Vrana to be a “great player”. Nor did I comment on him being “flashy” or making the “IDD highlight reel”! I also wouldn’t form opinions using such superficial evidence, either!
What my post WAS, was my opinion, using a singular, comparison/contrast, between Vrana and Bura, as to how they have responded AFTER being disciplined!...That’s it!...Stephenson was also never mentioned!
Funny thing is, FWIW, I hold a very high opinion on Stephenson, myself, JUST LIKE YOU!👍👍
Just wasn’t part of my post, you quoted!
Feel free to add a little clarity, if I’ve misunderstood your response.
Thanks

Relax Rush. I quoted the wrong post. I meant to quote the post that you quoted. I think it was a post by Raven

That’s cool, Maaco.👍 All good.
Admittedly, I was scratching my head when I read your post. I actually went back through my post, to try to help me understand yours a little better, and something didn’t quite square.
Certainly not unreasonable, in this case, for me to ask you for some clarity. You provided it, and I thank you, sir! The older I get, the more I like when things make sense!LOL
BTW. On a different note, I’ve been meaning to ask you, if you given any more serious thought to flying out here for a caps game? I know you’ve touched on it a little bit with DC.

Chippiness already - the Board is in mid-season form and we haven't played our first scrum yet!!
Share everyone's hesitation about Bura's development. As someone posted rightly, his "great" plays have been more individual than team driven.
Optimistic about the development of both Stephenson and Vrana and think either, or even both, can be solid 2nd/3rd players who contribute offensively but also play responsible defense.
Can not wait for the season defending the Cup to begin.

Hey Justwin. Been awhile. Good to see ya!
LMAO on the chippy stuff!
Yeah, I figured all the sports have their pre season warmup games, so a little fun practice with “chippy warmup” would help.! LOL
Anywho, I’m still on my Stanley high this summer! It’s a permanent thing for me. Like a long novel that you’ve read. Nothing can undo having already read it. This book is now closed and done!! 🎉🎊🎉
We’re in the last week of waiting, thank God, for Sept 16th, and a new season!! A new chapter for the Caps. I’m not afraid to be damn optimistic this year, either! Just gotta watch the expectations a little bit....On second thought, screw that about expectations!! WE WON THE CUP!!! GO CAPS!

Bura has had far too much time to "mature" as a player. If he doesn't show improvement where needed, in his consistency, without regressing the rest of his game it's time to trade his ass. I'd give him to thanksgiving to show said improvement else I'd trade his ass for a hotel room.
