How many games until Joe Pavelski scores a goal?

That's not the point, though. You know exactly what was happening.

Yep

Don't worry: Every single person who was here a few days ago sees what he is doing and who he is doing it to

As does everyone else. I'm curious to see who calculates the risks properly.

Yes, discussing how certain risks are different from each other in the game of hockey is desperately wanting to troll certain posters.

Your post above, definitely not trolling a specific poster.

I didn't see the game but I fully expected the scapegoats to be well scapegoated regardless of how they played.

So you're forming conclusions after not seeing the game.

You obviously don't grasp the fundamentals of hockey.

Man we have some cranky posters this morning! I know many of you missed your beauty rest but lay off... Yah?

The conclusion I drew there was not about the game. As I said certain players were and are going to be criticized as a whole regardless of how they play. Good or bad.

Manning is an NHL defenseman. You would be wrong, to assume he does not know how to play the game of hockey.

It's a true statement. :shrug:
- Scoob

Yeah, how the hell were we to know that every single play didn't come with the same amount of risk as every other play?

It also had nothing to do with the play. It was a play any of the Flyers defenseman should've made in the first period of a hockey game

Manning was bad, I'm done with you for a while.

Man, do not come crying to me like you are some kind of victim

There isn't a single person who wasn't around a couple of days ago who doesn't see you were trying to troll jmatchett

Don't start crying because I said it and because you aren't fooling a single person

I happened to catch those highlights right before bed and man Mase got lit up. Laine's beard is also nasty.

nasty as in gross right?

Look, I love you guys here (well, most of you lol), so I feel comfortable asking this question. Please know that I ask for your own good.

Do you know why fish get caught?

nasty as in gross right?

Shea Weber's playoff beard doubles as low-income housing for displaced Norwegian fishermen.

Thats not entirely true...

Typically people complain about players who provide unsatisfactory results. When they do that consistently, they become targets. Yes, they do get scrutinized to a level others dont, but that is only because the others dont provide unsatisfactory results as often as the others.

Mac was OKAY last night. That's fine for a 6th d-man (about what he is at the NHL level). But at the same time you cant just be okay for an extended period of time as a top pairing D-man and expect people to just be ho hum about it.

Also, a lot of this stuff comes down to the coach. They are the ones who use the players the way they do.

For example:
Last night the Flyers are out on the PP with less than two minutes on the clock and a one goal game and somehow Radko Gudas ends up on the ice... Why?

Yeah, how the hell were we to know that every single play didn't come with the same amount of risk as every other play?

I just always assumed that every single play carried the same amount of risk and that no event should be viewed independently.
