Trust me I've rolled my eyes at his play plenty of times including this season. I think everyone is pleasantly surprised at his play this year.

Ask yourself how this reply meshes with some of your past posts? I and others have been pretty consistent IMO with regards to the criticizing and praising his play. I don't see that anyone of us has unfairly called him out. He's always been a capable player. Now that he's improved his skills even further and largely eliminated his brain farts I don't think anyone would disagree that he's an excellent D-man.
I/We had good reason to rip him at times the last couple years and even early this year. I personally have no bias for or against him. I will call out or praise any player that IMO deserves it. I'm a very impartial armchair hockey critic. :P
From this post it seems you agree with what I just said.

you're missing the point. You directly accused me of something I didn't do. It has effected your memory ever since

Not wanting to gang up on you Maaco, but I agree with Alta. I recall the exchange he mentions and you never provided a single example of Alta "pounding Carlson into the Ground". I don't recall anyone doing that.
To me this entire unfair Carlson bashing meme is a fabrication that you are doing your best to keep alive.

You have ripped Carlson plenty of times. So what.
ArJunaZ:
Back to this game. I'd like to know what happened in the locker room and what adjustments and/or motivating words spoken that flipped the switch. They began to play much better in the second period. It was still very sloppy at times, but they were at least putting the effort forth and won the game. I think someone else mentioned this, but these guys should be fined for making no-see drop passes or passes straight to the opponents tape. Maybe one in ten of these actually succeeds. When it works it can make for some great highlights, but it's not worth the risk.
