Let's see if that works for what you said here:
Jeff Carter is nowhere near the best faceoff guy in the league.
See how I did that? You made a reference to Jeff Carter being good on draws like I made a reference to him being not so great on defense. So I replied to your post as if you said Jeff Carter is great on faceoffs like you replied to my post as if I said that Jeff Carter was terrible on defense. It doesn't make sense for me to reply to your post in this manner, just like it doesn't make sense for you to reply to my post in the manner that you replied to mine.

Dude, if you don't think your original post wasn't a bit of a slight to Jeff Carter's defensive skills, then you need to learn to use the English language a bit better. You basically said he was "meh" and wouldn't be missed. People have taken you to task on that characterization of his game. Nor is it just me, so you can stop right there with making it seem like I'm the only one characterizing your post as backhanded at best.
The fact is that he is a very good defensive player, and that has been proven and now you are trying to make it seem like you weren't dismissing his defense before.
