It's the way of the world. Everything needs to be female doged and complained about.

If you jump over to the Hawks, Penguins, Rags blogs..... What do you figure those fan bases are complaining about?

Probably not much, but I do know of 2 particular posters who frequent the Penguins blog who found a way to complain even when they won the Stanley Cup last year. There are some people who just like to complain about their team even when they are playing well because they just like to complain about things.

I would think the Penguins fans are most likely female doging about drafting Murray over Stolarz. That has blown up in their collective faces Ted Kaczynski style.

And there you have it.

Also, your reference to Ted Kaczynski would mean that Matt Murray goes to other places and blows up in that team's face, correct???

I know the mindset of management is who they're gonna bring back, Mason or Neuvirth but this shouldn't be a question. At the moment we also have more than those two options. I don't expect Stolarz to be our savior but I'm also not ruling hi out as an option because his play in the minors speaks for itself.

Right now I'm growing less of a Hakstol fan. Simmonds not being within the top 5 in the shootout and maybe overrating Cousins in that spot. Over using Neuvirth who has had often games. Not giving Provorov and Konecny a look in OT but constantly going to Bellemare who offers nothing in OT. I think Konecny would be best on the half wall ahead of Couturier on the second PP unit, as he's replaced G before during injury. I think big bodies like Weise and Couturier would improve screens on the second unit. The Manning/Gudas and Streit/Provorov pairs seem to similar to one another. Change this.

That's not what it's about.
Also, Jerry and Kramer are Mets fans.

That doesn't make things better. Not worse, but not better.

Also, that clip would only serve to show someone improving the Yankees. Consider yourself failed, and feel shame.

Hawks are complaining about who's going to be on Toews wing most of this year.

No, it shows someone complaining about the team despite them winning the World Series. Therefore, it directly relates to your post to which I responded.

consider the mic dropped

Penguins fans are usually complaining about Maata, Pouliot, Fehr, and sometimes Rust and Fleury.

At the risk of piling on already picked apart carcass', clearly Mason has not been as strong as he should be to this point in the season. And I find it slightly alarming that he left without fielding questions last night, which might well indicate a fragile state of mind. And without critiquing his technique since I am not a goalie coach, does anyone else hold their breath every single flipping time that an opposing player goes for a wrap around on either of our goaltenders? I realize neither is Bobrovsky, but it would be nice if that particular move didn't inspire terror every time, and I'm not sure Turris didn't have a scouting report when it occurred to him to attempt that.
As for Coots, it would be nice if he could somehow work on his hand skills just a little bit. For a guy who lived with Briere coming up, he's got the mitts of a brick layer, and I'd love to see him practicing Danny's rake and roof pregame routine for hours on end just to see if that helps, or at least keep his stick on the ice in the event that he's more open than he realizes. There are seemingly nightly occasions out there where Konecny and Provorov are out thinking their teammates with their creativity and vision in making plays with the puck, only for guys like Coots(anticipation/quickness of hands) or Schenn(likely just intelligence) to squander the chance due to a lack of awareness. I am hopeful that all of these components improve, but leaving these points on the table in the early going this season might well come back to haunt this club once the calendar flips, and every team starts making a push for the playoffs.

Every team has issues, some more than others. At the same time, some people just love having stuff to complain about. I'd prefer my favorite teams play well, personally. Sadly, I'm not getting much out of my top-4 this year (Flyers, Phillies, Steelers, Eagles).

Were the Flyers on top, or even in the middle, we'd still have complaining about CV here.
