This blogger admits that he only watched half the game and then proceeds to tell us what we saw during the whole game.
I question his take on Alex Picard, who plays 15 minutes, is a plus one and just happens to lead his team for the season after ten tough games @ plus 5.
For example he sites Alex's penalty where our right D-man makes a poor dump behind the net right to a Florida guy...Picard must take him (the correct play to make) and as Alfie, our Captain, argues after, 45 got part of the puck! A very iffy call at best.
Hamblown talks about 3 give aways...#45 is credited with 2 hits and 3 blocked shots but no give aways!
Did this "fool" not know the fix was in...does he not know how disruptive 6 unanswered penalties...7 total... are! My question to my friend...do you really know what you are seeing?
Finally he congratulates a player, who was demoted, benched and 4th lined...what condescention...then has the Gall to place this garbage on not one but two blogs!
Do not commit these errors again or I shall bring the hockey gods down apon you!!!

you must of missed when Picard pinched in a one goal game, which lead to a partial breakaway and Volchenkov getting hurt.

To 8:35 you Anonymous Arsehole!
ReplyDeleteFoligno is back it's a two on two that's the way that defence is supposed to work. Watch the game you bum!
I did watch the game and I watch him go into the corner be soft on the puck, and slide it right to the Forida player, instead of taking the hit to make a play.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is not the way defense plays late in a one goal game. Foligno was trying to get back but got burned (bad). It was the wrong play by picard. and now we are missing are best d-men for a long time.

Hey Canucnik,
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying to tell you anything, just my impressions of the 30 minutes I watched. About Picard : I saw three giveaways (others did too). Did you see any good plays? Then please, enlighten me. I'd dearly love to see him make some. I saw many other good defensive plays by other defensemen. Not so with Picard.
I don't really care that Picard is plus 5. Tom Preissing was plus 40 by the 05-06 season's end. Was he the best defenseman on the Senators that season? Plus-minus doesn't mean that much. I also don't put much stock in Picard being credited no giveaways, since I saw him pass the puck to the other team (twice), leading to scoring chances against. I call that a giveaway.
Finally, Picard's penalty was the result of him triping a player instead of reading the play (yes, the dump was not great), and moving himself into a better body position to either control the puck, or make sure the Florida player could not just walk out in front (which is what happened). It's a lazy play.
Finally, this is talking about hockey on the internet, chill out dude.
